Although much research has shown that parental psychological control undermines adolescents’ routine disclosure to parents, past research has not examined whether the effects of psychological control on disclosure are domain-specific and mediated by the quality of adolescents’ interactions with mothers and fathers. The present one-year longitudinal study examined whether parental support and negative interactions with each parent mediated longitudinal associations between adolescents’ ratings of psychological control and adolescents’ disclosure about routine prudential, personal, and multifaceted activities, as defined by social domain theory. These issues were examined over one year in 174 mostly White (74%), U.S. middle class middle adolescents (M = 15.70 years, SD = 0.63, 83 males). Greater parental psychological control was associated over time with less disclosure to both parents about personal activities and less disclosure to fathers about multifaceted issues. Perceived declines in support fully mediated the effects of psychological control on adolescent disclosure to mothers about personal issues and partially mediated the effects on disclosure to fathers about personal and multifaceted issues. In addition, negative interactions led to decreased disclosure about prudential issues. Thus, perceived psychological control and relationship quality had domain-specific and parent-specific longitudinal effects on adolescent disclosure to parents about their routine activities.

尽管许多研究表明，父母的心理控制会破坏青少年对父母的常规披露，但过去的研究并未检查心理控制对披露的影响是否是特定领域的，以及是否由青少年与父母的互动质量介导。这项为期一年的纵向研究考察了父母的支持和与父母双方的负面互动是否介导了青少年对心理控制评分与青少年对社会领域理论定义的日常审慎、个人和多方面活动的披露之间的纵向关联。在 174 名美国中产阶级中青少年 （M = 15.70 岁，SD = 0.63,83 名男性） 中，这些问题进行了为期一年的检查。随着时间的推移，父母心理控制能力的增强与父母双方对个人活动的披露减少和对父亲对多方面问题的披露减少有关。感知到的支持下降完全中介了心理控制对青少年向母亲披露个人问题的影响，部分中介了对向父亲披露个人和多方面问题的影响。此外，负面互动导致有关审慎问题的披露减少。因此，感知到的心理控制和关系质量对青少年向父母披露他们的日常活动具有领域特异性和父母特异性的纵向影响。
