    Are discrepancies in perceptions of psychological control related to maladjustment? A study of adolescents and their parents in Turkey
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2014) Yaban, E. Helin; Sayil, Melike; Tepe, Yeliz Kindap
    The current study examined whether adolescent-parent discrepancies in the perception of psychological control are associated with adolescent maladjustment. The sample consisted of 552 Turkish adolescents attending high school and their parents. Half of the adolescents had similar scores to their parents, while the remaining half thought differently. The results of the polynomial regression with response surface analysis showed that the incongruence between reports was positively associated with having deviant friends for males, and feelings of loneliness for females. Results suggested that reports of low levels of psychological control for father-adolescent pairs were associated with fewer deviant friends for males and lower levels of loneliness for females. Moreover, the possibility of having deviant friends was higher when males and their mothers were congruent in reporting high levels of psychological control. These findings highlight the importance of consideration of perceptual differences in parental practices in relation to adolescent maladjustment.

    (TURKISH PSYCHOLOGISTS ASSOC, 2012) Tepe, Yeliz Kindap; Sayil, Melike
    During the years of adolescence the effects of parental control becomes more complex and significant in many ways. In this research, the relationship between the two types of control -psychological and behavioral control- of parents perceived by the adolescent and the two indicators of social functioning -friendship quality and loneliness was examined according to the gender of the parent and the adolescent. Moreover, the mediating role of the adolescents' relational aggression was investigated in this association. The participants of the study consisted of 780 adolescents (428 female and 352 male) coming from middle SES families and from 7(th)-8(th) and 9(th)-10(th) grades. The average age of the adolescents was 14.8 (range = 11.9-18.3; SD = 1.42). Psychological Control-Disrespect, Monitoring, Positive Friendship Quality, Relational Aggression, Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction, and UCLA Loneliness Scales were used as the measurement tools. According to Structural Equation Modeling findings, perceived psychological control of the mother was positively related to the relational aggression of both male and female adolescents; fathers' psychological control was positively related to only males' relational aggression, perceived behavioral control by the father was negatively related to male and female adolescents' relational aggression. Relational aggression positively predicted loneliness and negatively predicted positive friendship quality among male adolescents. Relational aggression mediated the relation between perceived psychological control from both parents and male adolescent's social functioning (positive friendship quality and loneliness); and the relation between perceived behavioral control of the father and loneliness level of male adolescent.

    Interparental Conflict and Adolescents' Relational Aggression and Loneliness: The Mediating Role of Maternal Psychological Control
    (SPRINGER, 2017) Kocak, Aylin; Mouratidis, Athanasios; Sayil, Melike; Kindap-Tepe, Yeliz; Ucanok, Zehra
    Research has shown that frequent, intense, and poorly resolved conflict between parents relates to adolescents' adjustment problems but the mechanisms that explain such a link have not been fully uncovered. In this prospective study, we relied on the spillover hypothesis and investigated through an integrated multi-informant model whether maternal psychological control would account for the associations between interparental conflict and adolescents' relational aggression and loneliness. Participants were 527 Turkish adolescents (M (age) = 14.36 years, SD = 0.33) and 307 mothers (M (age) = 41.18 years, SD = 4.47). Analyses through structural equation modeling indicated that interparental conflict (as assessed by both the adolescents and their mothers) related positively to maternal psychological control (as assessed again by both of them) which in turn predicted adolescent-reported relational aggression and loneliness, 8 months later. These findings are in line with the spillover hypothesis and show that dysfunctional relationships between parents are related to poor parenting practices and in turn to adolescents' maladjustment.

    The Relations between Perceived Parental Support and Peer Bullying/Victimization in Male Adolescents: The Role of Friendship Quality
    (TURKISH PSYCHOLOGISTS ASSOC, 2013) Yaban, E. Helin; Sayil, Melike; Tepe, Yeliz Kindap
    The purpose of this research was to investigate the associations of perceived maternal and paternal support with peer bullying/victimization directly and indirectly via friendship qualities among male adolescents. A total of 348 boys (M-age = 14.7, SD = 1.44) from 7th to 10th grades of ten secondary and high schools participated in the study. Measurements were Adolescent Family Process, Friendship Qualities and Multidimensional Peer Victimization and Bullying scales. The results showed that perceived support from father had a protective role both on peer bullying/victimization and on negative friendships of adolescent boys. Negative friendship quality was related to an increase in the bullying and victimization while positive friendship quality had a decreasing role on these variables. The results of the analyses addressing indirect and mediation effects of variables showed that negative friendship quality partially explained the association of decreasing perceived father support with increasing peer bullying/victimization. Results also revealed that perceived maternal support could protect adolescents from peer bullying and victimization and from negative friendship quality only within settings in which father was also supportive.

    The Relation between Interparental Conflict and Adolescent's Adjustment Problems: The Mediator Role of Parental Control Practices
    (Turkish Psychologists Assoc, 2019) Sayil, Melike; Tepe, Yeliz Kindap; Kumru, Asiye
    This study aims to explore the maternal and paternal psychological and behavioral (monitoring) control as mediators in the relationships of adolescent's perceived interparental conflict with bullying and loneliness. A total of 542 adolescents (316 females, 226 males) coming from middle SES families and from 7th to 10th grades (M= 14.74, SD = 1.44; range = 11.9 - 18.3) participated in the study. Psychological Control Questionnaire, Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC), UCLA Loneliness Scale and Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Scale, Bullying Scale, and Adolescent Family Process Measure (monitoring subscale) were administered to the students in a group session. Structural Equation Modeling analyses revealed that interparental conflict had a detrimental role on parental control behaviors leading to heightened psychological control and lessened parental monitoring. Interparental conflict also directly related to increase in female adolescents' loneliness and male adolescents' bullying. Psychological control mediated the relations between adolescents' perceived interparental conflict and loneliness in males and bullying in females. As for monitoring, mediation was observed in the relation between interparental conflict and bullying only in females and for mothers. Our results support both the direct and spillover effects of interparental conflict on adolescent adjustment.

    The relation between parental psychological control and late adolescents' loneliness: The mediator roles of interpersonal trust and attachment
    (2013) Kurt, Deniz; Sayil, Melike; Tepe, Yeliz Kindap
    The study intends to examine the relation between perceived parental psychological control and youth loneliness. In addition, it investigates the mediator roles of interpersonal trust belief in and attachment to parents and peers in these relationships. The sample of this study consists of 378 female and 307 male (N = 685) university students (Mage = 19.85, SD = 1.42, range = 17-25). The following measures were used in the study: Late Adolescent's Interpersonal Trust Belief Scale, Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, Psychological Control Scale, and UCLA Loneliness Scale. Structural Equation Model was used to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that perceived psychological control was positively predicted by university students' loneliness. The models which were conducted separately for females and males revealed that parent and peer attachment partially mediated the relation between perceived psychological control and late adolescents' loneliness. However, trust in mother and father did not account for the relation between perceived control and loneliness in any gender, although it was partially explained by trust in peers only for females. It was concluded that the negative influence of psychological control on late adolescent's loneliness might decrease to a certain extent with secure attachment to parent and peer, and trust in peers.
