Psychologically Controlling Parenting and Personality Vulnerability to Depression: A Study in Peruvian Late Adolescents

This study examined associations between two
domain-specific manifestations of perceived psychologically
controlling parenting (i.e., dependency oriented and
achievement-oriented), dimensions of personality vulnerability
to depression (i.e., dependency and self-criticism),
and depressive symptoms in Peruvian late adolescents
(N = 292, 60 % female). Structural equation modeling
showed that perceived dependency-oriented psychological
control was related specifically to dependency and that
perceived achievement-oriented psychological control was
related specifically to self-criticism. Both dimensions of
personality vulnerability played an intervening role in
associations between the domains of psychologically controlling
parenting and depressive symptoms. In addition,
dependency-oriented psychological control interacted with
perceived parental responsiveness in the prediction of
depressive symptoms, such that responsiveness exacerbated
effects of psychological control on depressive
symptoms. Results were similar across maternal and
paternal ratings of parenting. Findings are interpreted in
light of the debate about the cross cultural generalization of
the effects of psychologically controlling parenting.
