父母的心理控制与儿童心理社会功能的关系

Parental psychological control and the relationship with children's psychosocial functioning

心理控制是一种侵入式教养,它是指父母使用引发儿童的内疚感、爱的撤回等方式侵入儿童思想和情感的教养行为,这种消极的、侵入式教养导致儿童产生诸多心理社会功能失调。跨文化研究发现,我国文化背景下父母的心理控制水平更高。社会环境、父母的人格和儿童的行为等因素都对父母的心理控制水平产生影响。父母的心理控制会对儿童的行为问题、自主性等一系列的心理社会功能产生消极影响。未来研究应立足中国特色文化,深入探讨儿童多重看护条件、儿童自身易感性等因素对心理控制效应的影响。

Psychological control is a form of intrusive parenting and refers to parental behaviors that manipulate children＇s thoughts and feelings by guilt-induction and love withdrawal. Psychological control has been found to have detrimental effects on children＇s psychosocial functioning including increased behavioral problems and diminished autonomy. A large number of cross-cultural studies report that Chinese parents are particularly liable to exert strong psychological control over their children. Social-contextual factors, parents＇ personality characteristics, and children＇s behavior might be related to the likelihood and impact of psychological control. We propose that future research consider Chinese cultural effects and investigate how factors including multiple caregiver networks and children＇s differential susceptibility impact on psychological control.
