Análisis mediacional de la timidez y la agresión verbal en la relación del Control psicológico parental y problemas emocionales y conductuales en estudiantes peruanos

Resumen

The research related parental psychological control (PPC) and emotional and behavioral problems, and evaluated the mediational role of shyness and verbal aggression in this relationship. 251 female students from a public educational institution in Lima-Peru with indicators of shyness and verbal aggression between 15 and 17 years of age were studied. We worked with the Dependence and Achievement-Oriented Psychological Control Scale (DAPC), the Adolescent Emotional and Behavioral Problems Scale, the revised shyness scale (ETR-13) and the verbal aggression dimension of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. It was found that shyness and verbal aggression do not play a mediational role in the relationship between parental control and emotional problems; furthermore, it was found that there is a positive and significant relationship between parental psychological control and behavioral and emotional problems, indicating that the more control parents exert over their children, the more emotional and behavioral problems increase. © Autor(es); 2022.
