An Examination of Adolescents' Well-Being and Parents' Psychological Control According to the Some Demographic Variables
Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, v14 n2 p120-136 Apr 2021
In this study, the relationship between the psychological control perceived by the adolescents from their parents and their subjective well-being was investigated. The study group consisted of 565 adolescents in the 10-14 age group attending secondary school. "Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Scale" and "Psychological Control Scale" were used for data collection. It was investigated the normality of data, and non-parametric tests were applied in data analysis. As a result of the study, it was determined that the adolescents' subjective well-being did not change by gender and that the boys' perceived psychological controls from their father were higher than girls. It was determined that adolescents 14 years older have lower positive feelings than have 10-11 years old and have a higher perception of parental psychological control from their mothers than have 11 years old. It has been remarked that adolescents with notable academic success have higher subjective well-being while adolescents with average academic performance have higher perceptions of parental psychological control. A meaningful negative relationship was detected between parental psychological control scores and adolescent well-being scores; meaning that higher parental psychological control causes lower adolescent subjective well-being.
