“…The strongest reported predictors of psychological distress (including anxiety and depression) are low maternal and paternal care, with additional associations with high control by one or both parents. Similar effects in adolescent populations have been found in Australia (Cubis et al, 1989;Parker, 1979), Norway (Pederson, 1994), Canada (McFarlane, Bellissimo, & Norman, 1995), and Scotland (Biggam & Power, 1998;Shams & Williams, 1995).…”

An investigation was carried out to examine the association of perceived parenting as measured by a shortened form of the Parental Bonding Instrument with self-esteem, relationships with peers and staff, and psychological distress levels in a group of young offenders held in custody. There were strong associations between low parental care with both low self-esteem and increased psychological distress as well as between low maternal care and poorer peer relationships. In addition, poor-quality peer relationships with other inmates and low self-esteem showed strong associations with increased levels of psychological distress in prison, suggesting that peer relations and self-esteem may both act as mediator variables in the association between parental care and anxiety and depression. There were, however, no associations between self-esteem and either the quality or number of peer relationships.

“…Participants rate on a four-point scale how much each statement described each parent (Mother-MPBI; Father-FPBI) in the first 16 years of life with higher scores representing more care and more overprotection. Internal consistencies (Cronbach's alpha) are high (.90 to .95 for parental care and .86 to .87 for parental overprotection; Parker, 1989;Gittleman et al, 1998;Shams & Williams, 1995). For the current sample, reliability estimates are presented in Table 1.…”

Perceived Family Environment and Symptoms of Emotional Disorders: The Role of Perceived Control, Attributional Style, and Attachment

et al. 2007

Findings from decades of research suggest that a perceived lack of parental care and overprotection are positively related to later symptoms of emotional disorders in children and adolescents. The present study used a crosssectional design to evaluate models investigating reported family environment during childhood, current attachments, control-related cognitions, and current symptoms of emotional disorders in adolescence. It was hypothesized the effect of a perceived controlling and rejecting family environment during childhood would influence current depression and anxiety, and that these effects would be partially accounted for by the quality of current attachments, perceived control, and attributional style. A sample of 234 university students was assessed. Regression analyses of variables, including analyses of indirect effects, were conducted. As predicted, current attachment, perceived control, and attributional style helped to account for relationships between some family variables, and depression and anxiety. Findings are discussed with respect to the interplay of family variables and models of emotional disorders.

“…As mentioned previously, girls may be exposed to stronger parental control than are boys since they are traditionally seen as the preservers and transmitters of culture. Indeed, Shams and Williams (1995) found that Indian adolescent girls in Britain endorsed perceptions of higher parental control than did their British heritage counterparts. Furthermore, higher perceived parental control was significantly related to greater psychological distress.…”

The present study related generational status, marital status, parental overprotection (control), and cultural value conflict to self-esteem and depression among first and second-generation Asian Indian immigrant women in the south-midwestern United States. Self-report data from 73 community-dwelling women supported the hypotheses that unmarried and second-generation women would report greater maternal control and cultural value conflict than would married and first-generation women. Secondgenerational status, high maternal control, and high cultural value conflict correlated with higher depressive symptomology; being married, low maternal control, and low cultural value conflict were related to high self-esteem. Regression analyses indicated a mediating role for cultural value conflict for depression symptom predictors, but not for self-esteem predictors. Open-ended response data provided enriched understanding of these women's cultural and family conflicts.
