Abstract

This research compared the effects over time of parents’ control and autonomy support on children’s functioning in the United States and China. American and Chinese (N = 806) seventh graders (mean age = 12.73 years) participated in a 6-month longitudinal study. Children reported on their parents’ psychological control, psychological autonomy support, behavioral control, and their own emotional and academic functioning. Children’s grades were obtained. Supporting cultural similarities, in both countries over time, parents’ psychological control predicted children’s dampened emotional functioning, parents’ psychological autonomy support predicted children’s enhanced emotional and academic functioning, and parents’ behavioral control predicted children’s enhanced academic functioning. Supporting cultural differences, the beneficial effects of parents’ psychological autonomy support were generally stronger in the United States than in China.

父母控制在青少年早期心理功能中的作用:美国和中国的一项纵向调查

本研究比较了美国和中国父母的控制和自主支持对儿童功能的影响。美国和中国(N = 806)名七年级学生(平均年龄12.73岁)参加了为期6个月的纵向研究。儿童报告了他们父母的心理控制、心理自主支持、行为控制以及他们自己的情感和学业功能。获得了孩子们的成绩。支持文化相似性，在两国，随着时间的推移，父母的心理控制预示着儿童情绪功能的抑制，父母的心理自主支持预示着儿童情绪和学业功能的增强，父母的行为控制预示着儿童学业功能的增强。在文化差异的支持下，父母心理自主支持的有益效果在美国普遍强于中国。
