“…The questionnaire contained eight items for paternal psychological control and eight for maternal psychological control (e.g., “My mother/father is a person who: Is always trying to change how I feel or think about things). The scale is widely used and has previously shown good psychometric properties, in several cultural contexts, including in Italy (Barber & Harmon, ; Filippello, Sorrenti, Buzzai & Costa, ), and in this study it also showed a good level of reliability (Table ).…”

The six dimensions of parenting and adolescent psychological adjustment: The mediating role of psychological needs. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 60, 128-137.In accordance with the Self-determination Theory (SDT), six dimensions of parenting (autonomy support vs. psychological control, structure vs. chaos, warmth vs. rejection) could be defined in their relation to adolescents' adjustment. However, the mechanisms of these relations need to be further deepened. In accordance with SDT, the aims of this study were: (1) to examine the relationships between the six dimensions of parenting and the three psychological basic needs; (2) to examine the mediation role of basic psychological needs in the relation between parental practices, and positive and negative outcomes in a sample of Italian adolescents. In a sample of 342 adolescents, results suggest that supportive parenting practice (autonomy support, structure, and warmth) promotes need fulfillment and adjustment, while thwarting parenting practice (psychological control, chaos, and rejection) reduces need fulfillment and adjustment. Furthermore, the three psychological basic needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) mediate the relations between parenting and adolescents' adjustment. These findings highlight the role of parenting in adolescents' adjustment and in line with SDT provide evidence of the dynamic between parenting, psychological needs and adjustment.

“…The reliability and validity of PCS-YSR have been demonstrated in cross-cultural research ( Barber et al., 2005 ) and this scale has adequate psychometric properties ( Barber, 1996 ; Barber et al., 2005 ). The Italian version of this instrument is widely used in research ( Filippello, Sorrenti, Buzzai, & Costa, 2015 ; Gugliandolo et al., 2014 ).…”

Background and aimsThe current study examined the mediating role of maladaptive perfectionism among parental psychological control, eating disorder symptoms, and exercise dependence symptoms by gender in habitual exercisers.MethodsParticipants were 348 Italian exercisers (n = 178 men and n = 170 women; M age = 20.57, SD = 1.13) who completed self-report questionnaires assessing their parental psychological control, maladaptive perfectionism, eating disorder symptoms, and exercise dependence symptoms.ResultsResults of the present study confirmed the mediating role of maladaptive perfectionism for eating disorder and exercise dependence symptoms for the male and female exercisers in the maternal data. In the paternal data, maladaptive perfectionism mediated the relationships between paternal psychological control and eating disorder and exercise dependence symptoms as full mediator for female participants and as partial mediator for male participants.DiscussionFindings of the present study suggest that it may be beneficial to consider dimensions of maladaptive perfectionism and parental psychological control when studying eating disorder and exercise dependence symptoms in habitual exerciser.

“…Several studies (Macher, Paechter, Papousek, & Ruggeri, ; Peixoto & Almeida, ; Sorrenti et al, ; Sorrenti, Filippello, Buzzai, & Costa, ) have shown that MO and LH are related to the academic achievement of students. LH can be influenced by both individual factors, such as beliefs, self‐representation, explanatory styles, and personality as well as by contextual factors, like parental practices and the school environment (Filippello, Sorrenti, Buzzai, & Costa, ). In regard to the school context, although several studies (Assor et al, ; Filippello et al, ; Haerens, Aelterman, Vansteenkiste, Soenens, & Van Petegem, ; Reeve, ; Reeve & Jang, ; Soenens & Vansteenkiste, ; Soenens et al, ; Thibaut, Knipprath, Dehaene, & Depaepe, ; Yuan, & Kim, ) have investigated the role of teaching practices and the teacher's use of psychological control during the learning process on students, the role of school LH and MO has not been deeply examined.…”

Although several studies have investigated the roles of teaching practices during the learning process on students, the role of school learned helplessness (LH) and mastery orientation (MO) has not been deeply examined. The present study aimed to verify the dynamics between academic achievement and the perception of the students of their teacher's psychological control and autonomy support by examining the mediating role of school LH and MO. Results confirmed that perceived teacher psychological control can predict school LH, whereas perceived teacher autonomy support can predict school MO. Additionally, academic achievement was positively predicted by school MO, whereas it was negatively predicted by school LH. Finally, analyses have shown that school LH and MO play a mediating role in the relationship between academic achievement and the perceived teacher autonomy support and psychological control. Limitations and implications are discussed.
