“…However, this is inconsistent with a study of Cascio et al . (). They found that the relationship between parental psychological control and adolescents’ self‐esteem differed in boys and girls.…”

“…Psychological control destructively damages adolescents' self-evaluative process (Padilla-Walker & Nelson, 2012;Wuyts, Vansteenkiste, Soenens & Assor, 2015). Under this control, they cannot trust their own abilities and uniqueness and are prone to negatively evaluate themselves (Cascio, Guzzo, Pace, Pace & Madonia, 2016). They then may experience more internalizing problems (B edard et al, 2014;Lee & Stone, 2012).…”

“…For adolescents, previous studies have reported large gender‐related differences in their self‐evaluative process (Cascio et al ., ; Song, Thompson & Ferrer, ) and behavioral problems (Twenge & Nolen‐Hoeksema, ). Particularly, negative self‐evaluation and internalizing problems may be more common in girls than in boys, while boys perceive a higher level of parental psychological control (not autonomy support) than girls (Cascio et al ., ). These available shreds of evidence suggest that it is of interest to explore gender differences in the relationship among these constructs.…”

This study aimed to explore the relationships among early adolescents’ perceived parental psychological control/autonomy support, self‐trouble, and internalizing problems as well as the potential gender differences in these relationships. Multiple‐group path analysis was performed on the data collected from 1,089 adolescents in Beijing junior high schools. Results revealed that parental psychological control (autonomy support) was associated with adolescents’ more (fewer) internalizing problems, and self‐trouble acted as a mediator in these two relationships. Moreover, only the indirect relationship between parental autonomy support and internalizing problems via self‐trouble was moderated by gender, with girls showing a little stronger indirect effect than boys, and specifically, it was the relationship between autonomy support and self‐trouble that existed gender differences, with girls showing higher coefficient than boys. The relationship between parental psychological control/autonomy support and early adolescents’ internalizing problems was discussed with regard to self‐trouble and gender differences.

“…This, in turn, gives rise to a series of consequences including distorting the view of the situation, which may lead to incorrect decisions (Di Fabio and Blustein, 2010 ). In the same vein, Cascio et al ( 2016 ) highlight the role of parents in the development of adolescents' self-esteem and its correlation in decision-making performance. In this respect, their study observed that when families perform parenting styles based on confidence in their children's abilities, the children develop firm and secure self-esteem that allows them to make rational decisions.…”

Analysis of the Relationship Between Psychological Well-Being and Decision Making in Adolescent Students

Adolescents are frequently faced with situations in which they have to make decisions by choosing from a range of possible alternatives. In such circumstances, individual, social, and environmental conditions have an impact on the choice of the final decision in light of the various options presented. The main objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the psychological well-being of adolescent students and their decision-making style. The research method used corresponds to an ex post facto, quantitative, transversal, correlational, and descriptive design, with an initial sample of 1,262 students from the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain, aged 13-19. A subsequent resampling of 385 participants was extracted from the initial sample by proportional allocation to strata (according to the levels of the variables gender, academic year, and educational institution classification) to guarantee the representativeness of the population data. Data collection uses the first Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological well-being Scale and the Flinders Adolescent Decision Making Questionnaire, adapted by Friedman and Mann. The data shows that greater use of adaptive decision-making strategies correlates significantly with greater psychological well-being. In contrast, the correlation is high and negative at the intersection of the maladaptive decision-making variables and psychological well-being.

“…As indicated by previous investigations in many cultural contexts (e.g., Laible and Carlo, 2004;Lan et al, 2019c), maternal-but not paternal control-is strongly related to students' adjustment at school. Likewise, maternal and paternal control are distinctly associated with students' adjustment across different domains (Cascio et al, 2016). Given this, future initiatives are recommended to address these concerns and further develop a more fine-grained understanding of the association between parental control and school adjustment.…”

Although the proliferation of empirical research has documented the association between parental control and school adjustment, findings of this linkage are still inconclusive. Moreover, fewer efforts have been made to address this association in middle school students. Guided by an ecological framework, the current study aimed to integrate the conflicting findings into a coherent body of knowledge, paying particular attention to two research purposes: (a) to examine the association between parental control and three objective indicators of school adjustment (social competence, academic grades, and peer acceptance) and (b) to explore whether this association was moderated by individual characteristics of social identity and grit. A total of 120 Chinese middle school students (42.5% females) aged between 13 and 15 years old were recruited for this study, and research data were gathered from multiple sources. To be specific, students were asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires concerning parental control, social identity, and grit. Meanwhile, school-related social competence was rated by head teachers; academic grades were obtained from school records; and peer acceptance was assessed by sociometric nominations. The results from hierarchical regression analyses showed that parental control was negatively associated with academic grades. Moreover, when reporting higher levels of social identity, parental control was negatively related to social competence and peer acceptance for those students with lower levels of grit. Our findings suggest that parental control can dampen middle school students' academic performance, and low levels of grit can magnify the detrimental effect of parental control on social competence and peer acceptance in middle school students who regard themselves as closely connected to social groups.
