3.3. Control
Parental control was related to general problems with self-regulation
and specifically with difficulties delaying gratification
related to physical pleasures. Parental control was also associated
with several areas of adjustment and psychopathology, such as
activation (ACT: r = .44), which includes hypomanic symptoms
involving excitation, energy, uncontrolled mood swings, and
decreased need for sleep (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008), and psychoticism
(PSYC-r: r = .28), including increased experience of aberrant
experiences (RC8: r = .36). Lastly, parental control was
related to increased somatic and neurological complaints, emotional
and cognitive dysregulation, interpersonal problems, and
physical pleasure seeking around eating and substance use.
