Abstract
Introduction: The review of the evidence shows that as parents are the primary socialization agents, parenting remains one of the focuses of inquiry. Therefore, sensitive monitoring of the undeniable role of the study field of parenting has a special position among the research priorities of different researchers.
Method: Among different parenting strategies, parental psychological control has been the subject of heated discussion. This research was conducted with the aim of psychometric analysis of the Persian version of the parental psychological control scale. In this descriptive survey research, 300 adolescents, who were selected by the available non-probability sampling method, responded to the Parental Psychological Control Scale (Zhu, Dou & Pan, 2023), the Strength-based Parenting Scale (Jach, Sun, Loton, Chin & Waters, 2018) and ), the Emotion Cognition Regulation Questionnaire-Revised (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006). In Zhou et al.'s study, the results of exploratory and confirmatory statistical methods in independent samples of teenagers empirically supported a structure consisting of 3 aspects of relational induction, harsh psychological control and social comparison shame.
Result: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the CPPCS had good factorial validity with a three-factor structure consisting of relational induction, harsh psychological control and social comparison shame. In addition, the results related to the correlation between the dimensions of parental psychological control with strength-based parenting and adaptive/maladaptive emotion cognition regulation strategies, supported the convergent validity of the Persian version of the parental psychological control scale. The internal consistency coefficients of the subscales of relational induction, harsh psychological control and social comparison shame were 0.88, 0.80, and 0.77, respectively.
Discussion and conclusion: Overall, the validated CPPCS and related findings in the present study provide additional empirical evidence to support the multifaceted nature of parental psychological control and culture-specific conceptualizations of its subtypes.
