Associations between Parental Psychological and Behavioral Control and Youth Internalized and Externalized Behaviors.

Barber, Brian K.; And Others

Child Development, v65 n4 p1120-36 Aug 1994

The effects of parental control on child behavior were examined in a survey of 473 fifth, eighth, and tenth graders, who completed measures on parent behavior, family functioning, and their own behavior. The study found that psychological control was more predictive of adolescent internalized problems, whereas behavioral control was more predictive of externalized problems. (MDM)
