| Title: | Antecedents and child quality-of-life outcomes of parental psychological control : observations, unresolved issues, and future research directions | Authors: | Zhu, X Zong, W Tan, L Zhou, K Shek, D |
Issue Date: | 2026 | Source: | Applied research in quality of life, Published: 16 April 2026, Online first articles, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11482-026-10597-4 | Abstract: | Parental psychological control (PPC) refers to parental attempts to control the child’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through manipulative tactics such as invalidation, shaming, guilt induction, and love withdrawal. Scientific research in this field generally indicates that PPC negatively affects quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes among children and adolescents. To promote individual and family well-being, it is essential to advance our understanding not only of PPC’s impact on child QOL outcomes and the underlying pathways, but also of its antecedents. This review aims to summarize research in these two areas, highlighting key observations, conceptual and methodological gaps, inconsistencies in findings, and future research directions. | Keywords: | Children and adolescents Intergenerational transmission Parental psychological control Self-determination theory Well-being |
