介绍:
Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage, according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day.
一项针对上世纪40年代生人的跟踪调查显示，父母对子女管束过多可能会对下一代造成终生的心理伤害。
Researchers found that people who reported their parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens, their 30s, their 40s and their 60s.
研究人员发现，那些表示童年时被父母侵犯过隐私或被鼓励依赖父母的调查对象，在他们青少年时期、30多岁、40多岁甚至60多岁时进行的总体幸福感测试中得低分的可能性更大。
The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in scale to that observed in people who have suffered a bereavement.
家长控制欲过强对幸福感造成的负面影响与痛失至亲对人们产生的负面影响程度相近。
In contrast, people who said their parents were more caring, warm and responsive to their needs tended to be more content well into adulthood.
相比之下，那些说父母关爱体贴、积极响应他们需求的调查对象在成年后往往更心满意足。
