Abstract:Past research has shown that, while psychological control increases the risk for adolescents' antisocial behavior, maternal knowledge of adolescents' activities decreases this risk. Yet, research is somewhat inconclusive about the role of psychologically controlling parenting in parental knowledge. Also, the role of both predictors in prosocial behavior remains largely unknown. In this 1-year, multi-informant, prospective study, we investigated these issues by recruiting a sample of Turkish early adolescents (N = 229, Mage = 11.89 years, SD = 0.32, 47.0% boys) and their mothers. After controlling for baseline adolescent-reported maternal knowledge, we found mother-reported psychological control to negatively predict adolescent-reported maternal knowledge 1 year later. In turn, maternal knowledge related negatively to antisocial behavior and positively to altruistic prosocial behavior (but not to instrumental prosocial behavior). These findings highlight the key role that maternal psychological control and knowledge can have in adolescents' social functioning.

孕产妇知识作为孕产妇心理控制与利他亲社会，工具亲社会和反社会行为之间关系的中介者

摘要：过去的研究表明，尽管心理控制会增加青少年反社会行为的风险，但母亲对青少年活动的了解却会降低这种风险。然而，关于心理控制父母在父母知识中的作用的研究尚无定论。同样，这两个预测因素在亲社会行为中的作用仍然未知。在这项为期一年的多信息前瞻性研究中，我们通过招募土耳其早期青少年（N = 229，法师= 11.89岁，SD = 0.32，男孩占47.0％）及其母亲来调查这些问题。在控制了青少年报告的母体知识基线后，我们发现母亲报告的心理控制对1年后青春期报告的母体知识有负面预测。反过来，母亲知识与反社会行为负相关，与利他的亲社会行为正相关（但与工具性亲社会行为无关）。这些发现凸显了母亲的心理控制和知识在青少年的社会功能中所起的关键作用。
