Contributors review research and present methodologies and findings that should enhance the further study of this important component of the socialization of children. They also integrate the historical conceptualizations of parental psychological control, identify the aspects of child or adolescent development these conceptualizations appear to have targeted, and review and discuss the known child and adolescent correlates of parental psychological control. Chapters extend the work on psychological control of adolescents substantially by studying its relationship with other key variables in family and individual development. Some chapters examine the cross-cultural validity of the psychological control construct in young children from the USA, Russia and China as well as the effects of psychological control found in unique populations, such as children with disabilities like spina bifida.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391000416529,"sku":"CIN1557988285G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51918732198161,"sku":"CIN1557988285VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53575343341841,"sku":"GOR007256453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1557988285.jpg?v=1750718395"},{"product_id":"parental-support-psychological-control-and-behavioral-control-book-brian-k-barber-9781405153898","title":"Parental Support, Psychological Control and Behavioral Control","description":"What can parents, and others interested in adolescents, do to facilitate their healthy development? In many decades of work, researchers have continually identified three central dimensions of parenting: support, behavioral control, and psychological control, all of which have been associated consistently with either positive or negative indicators of adolescent functioning. Notwithstanding its volume, the research has been non specific as to the effects of these dimensions and has otherwise been limited by a predominant concentration on western families. This monograph reported on research that addressed these limitations by testing specific effects of the parenting dimensions and by doing with multiple analytic techniques on data from adolescents in 11 cultures across the world. In al sites, it was found that support was associated with higher adolescent social competence and lower depression; psychological control with higher depression and antisocial behavior; and behavioral control with lower antisocial behavior. Recommendations included considering that these dimensions are the parental contribution to relationship types or socialization conditions that, when achieved, (with parents or other significant person) are responsible for the effects.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123029668113,"sku":"NLS9781405153898","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781405153898.jpg?v=1757445528"},{"product_id":"adolescents-and-war-book-brian-k-barber-9780195343359","title":"Adolescents and War","description":"Hundreds of thousands of children are forced or legally recruited combatants in no fewer than 70 warring parties across the world. In addition to these child soldiers, thousands of youth voluntarily participate in politically related conflict. Why, how, and in what capacities are such large numbers of teenagers involved in war and how are they affected?  Adolescents and War brings together world experts in an evidence-based volume to thoroughly understand and document the intricacies of youth who have had substantial involvement in political violence. Contributors argue that the assumption that youth are automatically debilitated by the violence they experience is much too simplistic: effective care for youth must include an awareness of their motives and beliefs, the roles they played in the conflict, their relationships with others, and the opportunities available to them after their experiences with war. The book suggests that the meaning youth make of a conflict may protect them from mental harm. For example, Palestinian teens who were actively engaged in the first Intifada have fared better than Bosnian teens who were virtual sitting ducks to the sniper and grenade launches of the hidden forces during the siege of Sarajevo. Covering youth involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Northern Ireland, Israel\/Palestine, and Bosnia, the volume will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists and should be adopted for courses in social psychology, crisis intervention, and international conflict.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52476929933585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476931309841,"sku":"NLS9780195343359","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195343359.jpg?v=1759844828"},{"product_id":"no-way-but-forward-book-brian-k-barber-9789695892824","title":"No Way but Forward","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eSurvival, Resilience, and Hope: Life Stories from the Gaza Strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo Way but Forward: Life Stories of Three Families in the Gaza Strip\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e by Brian K.
