Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study investigated the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of parental psychological control and adolescents' psychological well-being, academic achievement, and delinquency. One hundred and fourteen high school students completed a survey packet which included scales that measured these constructs. Analyses revealed that parental psychological control was significantly and positively related to delinquency, significantly and negatively related to psychological well-being, and not significantly associated with academic status. Moreover, maternal and paternal psychological control individually predicted delinquency and psychological well-being. It was concluded that parental psychological control is related to both internalization (defined in this study as psychological well-being) and externalization (defined in this study as delinquency and academic achievement).
