A theoretical upgrade of the concept of parental psychological control: Proposing new insights on the basis of self-determination theory (2010, neutral): “Additionally, longitudinal research with adolescents shows that distressed adolescents viewed their parents as becoming increasingly controlling (e.g., Barber et al., 2005; Soenens, Luyckx, Vansteenkiste, Duriez, & Goossens, 2008; Wang et al., 2007).”
The Role of Parental Control in Children's Development in Western and East Asian Countries (2009, background): “A comparable pattern is evident for psychological control (Wang et al., 2007): During early adolescence, such control predicts children’s dampened emotional functioning 6 months later, taking into account children’s earlier emotional functioning, similarly in the United States and China.”
Parental Autonomy Support Predicts Academic Achievement Through Emotion-Related Self-Regulation and Adaptive Skills in Chinese American Adolescents (2014, background): “support/low parental psychological control is often reflected in parents’ warm, supportive, and responsive behaviors that predict adolescents’ emotional well-being (Wang et al., 2007).”
Examining the components and concomitants of parental structure in the academic domain (2010, background): “For example, parents’ autonomy support has been associated with children’s self-regulation and achievement (e.g., d’Ailly 2003; Ginsburg and Bronstein 1993; Grolnick and Ryan 1987; Grolnick et al. 1991; Soenens and Vansteenkiste 2005; Vansteenkiste et al. 2005) and psychological control with childre”
A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Life Satisfaction and Parenting (2010, background): “To date, very few studies in youth life satisfaction have employed such designs (see Martin et al. (2008); Shek (2007), and Wang et al. (2007) for exceptions).”
Correlates of parental control and autonomy support in an interdependent culture: A look at Ghana (2013, neutral): “Several studies in the United States (US) suggest that parental control is related to poorer social functioning, decreased autonomous motivation, and decreased emotional well-being (Barber et al. 2005; Grolnick and Ryan 1989; Wang et al. 2007).”
Let Us Not Throw Out the Baby With the Bathwater: Applying the Principle of Universalism Without Uniformity to Autonomy-Supportive and Controlling Parenting (2015, background): “The principle, which entails the view that most important psychological processes have both universal and context-specific features, has been used to explain findings regarding cross-cultural effects of parenting (16).”
Issues and Challenges in Studying Parental Control: Toward a New Conceptualization (2009, background): “…control as parents’ involvement in making decisions for children (e.g., Fletcher et al., 2004; Steinberg et al., 1989).2 Behavioral control predicts decreased externalizing symptoms and increased achievement among children (e.g., Fletcher et al., 2004; Gray & Steinberg, 1999; Wang et al., 2007).”
Helicopter Parenting in Emerging Adulthood: Support or Barrier for Korean College Students’ Psychological Adjustment? (2015, background): “…studies on parental control or overinvolvement, students who perceived their parents as more controlling without granting autonomy were more likely to have lower levels of internal control (Ballash et al. 2006; Givertz and Segrin 2014; Spokas and Heimberg 2009; Wang, Pomerantz, and Chen 2007).”
The development of parental monitoring during adolescence: A meta-analysis (2018, background): “Moreover, comparing the same cultural backgrounds, in another study (Wang et al., 2007) parental control predicted adolescents’ enhanced academic functioning regardless of the cultural context.”
