Abstract:
Using the Self-Determination Theory and Family Systems Theory, the research contributed to a better understanding of the relations between discrepancies in parents and adolescents perceptions of parental psychological control. The research findings highlighted that: (1) adolescents tended to perceive higher levels of psychological control than their parents reported; (2) adolescents tended to rate mothers psychological control higher than the mothers themselves, whereas adolescent reports of fathers psychological control were not higher than the fathers self-reports; (3) the discrepancies between fathers and adolescents in their perceptions of fathers psychological control were associated with lower levels of satisfaction of the adolescents need for relatedness, while the discrepancies between mothers and adolescents were associated with lower levels of satisfaction of the adolescents need for autonomy.
