Big Parental Control May Stunt Kid Assertiveness
【科学60秒】强权父母软弱儿
Domineering parents may keep kids under their thumb to try to protect the kids from the perils of peer pressure. But this approach may backfire and actually make kids more susceptible to going with the crowd. So finds a study in the journal Child Development. [Barbara A. Oudekerk et al, The Cascading Development of Autonomy and Relatedness From Adolescence to Adulthood]
强权型父母也许借助掌控自己的孩子以便保护他们免受同龄孩子所能碰到的一些压力。 但是这种教育方法也许有些适得其反并且实际上造成孩子在独自面对人群时候表现的更加脆弱不堪。这是一项发表在《儿童成长》杂志上的研究发现的结果。
Psychologists got baseline information through interviews with 184 13-year-olds. The researchers learned about their parents’ control tactics—such as using guilt to manipulate behavior—and watched how the kids dealt with a difference of opinion or argument with a friend.
心理学家们通过观察面试184名13岁的儿童得到了一些相关基本信息。研究人员们掌握了他们的父母的管教策略——比如说采用内疚惩罚机制——并且观察了这些孩子们在面对不同意见或者与朋友们有争议时采用的处理方法。
Years passed. Then the researchers followed up with the study participants when they were 18 and again when they reached 21. Of particular interest were interactions with a peer or romantic partner.
几年之后。研究人员们跟踪采访了当时参与调查的孩子，这时他们已经18岁了，之后在他们21岁的时候 又进行了一次调查。特别有趣的是他们与同龄其他孩子之间的互动以及他们与恋爱对象之间的相处情况。
The now young adults who’d had highly controlling parents were less able to stress their own viewpoints to a friend or partner in confident and productive ways. And the effects of that inability increased over time: poor relationship skills in an 18-year-old predicted further deficits at 21.
现在这些年轻人由于高度掌控在权威型父母亲手底下，他们面对朋友或者恋爱对象的时候都比较不能很自信以及富有成效的表达自己的看法。这种能力欠缺还具有时间效力关系：随着时间增长，18岁的时候人际关系惨淡的人也可以被预见到在21岁时的人际关系也好不到哪儿去。
Seems that resisting parental control may be how kids learn to assert themselves, an important skill for healthy future relationships.
看上去，抵抗父母掌控也许是孩子们学会如何坚持表达他们自己的一种方式，而自我表达是有助于将来有健康人际关系的一种重要技能。
