A substantial amount of research focuses on the error-related negativity (ERN)-a negative deflection in the event-related potential waveform that occurs when individuals commit errors on lab-based tasks. The ERN has been link to concurrent and prospective risk for psychopathology and is thought to index sensitivity or reactivity to errors. The ERN can be potentiated in the lab with punishment and has been shown to be increased among offspring of harsh or controlling parents. A separate line of work has demonstrated that the ERN is increased among individuals high in perfectionism. In the current study, we integrate these separate lines of work by examining parenting styles, perfectionism and the ERN in a sample of young adults. Results suggest that the ERN is increased among offspring of controlling parents (both maternal and paternal). Additionally, the ERN is increased among individuals who report being high in perfectionism-specifically, the concerns over mistake and the personal standard perfectionism subscales of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Moreover, results supported a mediation model wherein the indirect pathway from controlling parenting style to perfectionism (personal standard subscale) was mediated by the ERN-for paternal parenting.

控制育儿和完美主义与年轻人中与错误相关的消极情绪（ERN）增加有关。

大量研究集中在错误相关的负性（ERN）上，即与事件相关的电位波形中的负偏斜，当个人在基于实验室的任务中犯错时会发生。ERN一直与精神病理学的潜在并发风险相关联，并被认为对错误的敏感性或反应性具有指数性。ERN在实验室中可能会受到惩罚，并且在严厉或控制父母的后代中会增加。一项单独的工作表明，在追求完美主义的个人中，ERN有所提高。在当前的研究中，我们通过对年轻人样本中的养育方式，完美主义和ERN进行整合，从而整合了这些单独的工作方式。结果表明，ERN在控制父母的后代（母亲和父亲）中均增加。此外，在报告完美主义程度较高的个人中，ERN有所增加，尤其是对错误的关注和弗罗斯特多维完美主义量表的个人标准完美主义子量表。此外，研究结果支持了一种调解模型，其中从控制父母教养方式到完美主义（个人标准分量表）的间接途径是由ERN（父辈）为父母做父母的。
