Abstract

This study investigated the associations between youths' perceived parental control, psychological/behavioral problems, and self-differentiation in a sample of 355 middle and high school students. The sex differences in these variables, and the influences of perceived parental control and self-differentiation on youths' psychological and behavioral problems were analyzed. The mediating effects of self-differentiation between parental control and youths' psychological/behavioral problems, and between psychological and behavioral problems were also investigated. Some sex differences in the variables were found. Youths' psychological and behavioral problems were influenced by self-differentiation and parental psychological control. The mediating effects of self- differentiation were significant either complete or partial way.

본 연구에서는 남녀 중 고생 총 355명을 대상으로, 청소년의 성별에 따라 부모통제에 대한 지각, 심리 및 행동문제, 그리고 자아분화 수준에 차이가 있는지 알아보고, 부모통제에 대한 지각과 자아분화가 이들의 심리 및 행동 문제에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 또한, 청소년의 자아분화가 이들의 부모통제에 대한 지각과 심리 및 행동 문제 간, 심리문제와 행동문제 간을 매개하는지 분석하였다. 분석결과, 남학생은 여학생보다 부모심리통제 지각과 심리문제가 더 많고, 여학생은 남학생보다 자아분화가 더 높으며, 행동문제가 더 많았다. 청소년의 자아분화와 부모심리 통제가 이들의 심리 및 행동문제에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 자아분화는 심리 및 행동문제를 높이고, 부모심리통제는 이를 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 청소년의 자아분화는 부모행동통제와 심리 및 행동문제 간을 완전매개, 부모심리통제와 심리 및 행동문제 간, 그리고 심리문제와 행동문제 간을 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다.
