Abstract

Parents are important for the development and maintenance of regulatory control. The current longitudinal study examined associations between parental coercion and autonomy support and impulse control in 117 youth (ages 8-16; M_age= 12.87, SD = 2.53; 44% male) with Type 1 diabetes and explored whether youth negative affect mediated these associations. Parental coercion (but not autonomy support) was concurrently associated with lower impulse control and higher negative affect within individuals. Increases in youth negative affect partially mediated the within-person association between parental coercion and impulse control. These findings suggest that parent-directed interventions to reduce parental coercion may be most beneficial for impulse control if combined with youth-directed interventions to help them regulate negative affect. Replication of the current findings in a larger sample of youth with and without a chronic illness is needed to address the theoretical and empirical importance of negative affect as a potential mechanism through which parental coercion impacts youth impulsivity.

父母对于监管控制的发展和维持很重要。当前的纵向研究考察了 117 名青少年（8-16 岁；M_年龄= 12.87，SD=2.53；44% 男性）与 1 型糖尿病的父母强制、自主支持和冲动控制之间的关联，并探讨了青少年负面情绪是否介导了这些关联。父母的强制（但不是自主支持）同时与个人较低的冲动控制和较高的负面影响相关。青少年负面情绪的增加部分调节了父母强制和冲动控制之间的人际关联。这些发现表明，如果与青少年主导的干预措施相结合，以减少父母强迫的父母主导的干预措施可能最有利于冲动控制，以帮助他们调节负面情绪。需要在患有和未患有慢性病的青少年的更大样本中复制当前的研究结果，以解决负面影响作为父母强制影响青少年冲动的潜在机制的理论和经验重要性。
