Adolescent Perceived Parental Psychological Control, Need Frustration and Perfectionism: Concurrent and Longitudinal Association

The present study sought to explore the developmental antecedent of adolescent perfectionism. In doing so, we examined the concurrent and longitudinal relationships between two domain-specific expressions of perceived parental psychological control (i.e., dependency-oriented and achievement-oriented) and perfectionism (i.e., evaluative concern and striving) and whether three forms of need frustration (i.e., autonomy, relatedness and competence need frustration) mediated these links. A total of 2,170 adolescents (48.4 % female; Mage = 14 years) participated in this three-wave longitudinal study with 6-month intervals. Overall, the concurrent analysis results indicated that DPC and APC were positively related to evaluative concern. Relatedness and competence frustration mediated both relationships. Interestingly, the longitudinal findings revealed that DPC and APC respectively predicted decreases and increases in adolescent striving rather than evaluative concern one year later. Although APC had no direct effect on evaluative concern, it predicted increases in evaluative concern through relatedness frustration. Overall, the results showed that psychological control from interpersonal and achievement domain each have unique contributions to the development of the two forms of perfectionism. It also extended past research by showing that need frustration can be an explanatory mechanism among these associations.本研究旨在探究青少年完美主义（adolescent perfectionism）的发展前因。为此，我们考察了两种领域特异性感知到的父母心理控制（domain-specific perceived parental psychological control）——依赖取向心理控制（dependency-oriented psychological control, DPC）与成就取向心理控制（achievement-oriented psychological control, APC）——与完美主义的两个维度（评价关切evaluative concern与完美主义追求striving）之间的同时性与追踪性关联，并检验了三种基本心理需求挫败（need frustration）——自主性需求挫败、关联性需求挫败与能力感需求挫败——是否在上述关联中起到中介作用。共计2170名青少年（女性占比48.4%，平均年龄M=14岁）参与了此项间隔6个月的三波追踪研究（three-wave longitudinal study）。总体而言，同时性分析结果显示，DPC与APC均与评价关切呈正相关，且关联性需求挫败与能力感需求挫败在这两项关联中均发挥了中介效应。值得注意的是，追踪分析结果表明，一年后，DPC与APC分别预测了青少年完美主义追求倾向的降低与升高，而非评价关切水平的变化。尽管APC对评价关切无直接效应，但它可通过关联性需求挫败间接提升青少年的评价关切水平。整体来看，研究结果证实，源自人际领域与成就领域的父母心理控制，对两种维度的完美主义发展均具有独特的贡献；同时，本研究还揭示了基本心理需求挫败可作为上述关联间的解释性机制，从而拓展了既往相关研究的边界。

背景概述

该数据集基于一项三波纵向研究，涉及2,170名青少年，旨在探索青少年完美主义的发展前因。研究重点分析了感知父母心理控制（依赖导向和成就导向）与完美主义（评价关注和努力）之间的同时性和纵向关系，并检验了需求挫败（自主性、关联性和能力）的中介作用。结果揭示了心理控制和需求挫败对完美主义发展的独特贡献，扩展了相关机制的理解。
