dc.description.abstract | We extended prior research by investigating perceptions of parental psychological control as
a contributor to young adults’ antisocial behavior in a sample of 382 South African university
students aged between 18 and 25 years. Barber’s (1996) measure of parental psychological
control and the Youth Self-Report (Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1987) questionnaires were
administered for data collection. A positive relationship was found between parental
psychological control and the antisocial behavior of young adults. Additionally, the results of
the hierarchical regression analysis suggest that maternal psychological control, compared to
paternal psychological control, was a stronger predictor of antisocial behavior. | en_US |
