Furthermore, few studies have differentiated the unique effects of different types of parental psychological control strategies, despite the potential for variations in their associative patterns and underlying mechanisms with adolescent social anxiety. To address these gaps, the present study employed Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models to separately examine the within-person bidirectional associations between three types of parental psychological control (i.e., guilt induction, love withdrawal, and authority assertion) and social anxiety, as well as the potential mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty. A total of 1,374 Chinese high school students (52.6% girls; M_age = 15.40 years, SD = 0.63) participated in this four-wave longitudinal survey with six-month intervals. The results revealed that all three types of parental psychological control were directly associated with subsequent increases in social anxiety. However, only guilt induction and love withdrawal had an indirect within-person effect on social anxiety via intolerance of uncertainty. Conversely, adolescent social anxiety was directly associated with subsequent increases in love withdrawal and authority assertion, while social anxiety, through an increase in intolerance of uncertainty, predicted only the exacerbation of guilt induction. These findings underscore the importance of reducing all types of parental psychological control in the mitigation of adolescent social anxiety symptoms. Crucially, the results suggest that interventions aimed at reducing intolerance of uncertainty may be beneficial in breaking this vicious cycle during adolescence, particularly for those strategies that compromise adolescents' emotional security and autonomy, such as guilt induction and love withdrawal.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":"2469-2488"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148604435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were 3364 Chinese adolescents (51.0% girls; M_age = 14.15 years, SD = 1.56; age range = 11-17 years) and their parents. Random-intercept cross-lagged panel models showed that, at the between-person level, higher levels of parent-reported closeness in parent-adolescent relationships was associated with lower levels of adolescent Internet gaming disorder symptoms, whereas greater conflict was associated with higher symptom levels. At the within-person level, reciprocal associations emerged only between father-adolescent conflict and adolescent Internet gaming disorder symptoms, and both associations being positive. However, these associations were small in magnitude and attenuated after adjusting for covariates. No significant gender differences emerged in these longitudinal associations. Overall, the findings suggest that associations between parent-adolescent relationships and adolescent symptoms of Internet gaming disorder primarily reflect stable between-person differences, whereas short-term reciprocal processes are limited and emerge mainly in the context of father-adolescent conflict.

There have been few rigorous tests of these pathways, and it is unclear whether they differ for different antisocial outcomes (i.e., aggression versus general rule violation). The models were tested using within-person regression and five waves of survey data from 300 early adolescents. At baseline the adolescents had a mean age of 11.28 (SD = 0.50); 50% were female.
