Abstract
Chinese secondary school students in Shanghai (n = 3022) responded to measures of perceived parent-child relational qualities (parental trust of the child, child ' s trust of parents, child ' s readiness to communicate with parents, and child ' s satisfaction with parental control), parental behavioral control (including indicators of knowledge, expectation, monitoring, discipline, and demandingness), and parental psychological control. Results showed that parental trust of the child and child ' s trust of parents were positively related to child ' s readiness to communicate with the parents and satisfaction with parental control. Parental-child relational qualities were positively related to different aspects of behavioral control but negatively related to psychological control. Relative to measures of parental behavioral control measures, parental psychological control was a stronger predictor of parent-child relational qualities.
