Validation and Psychometric Properties of the Farsi Version of the Parental Psychological Control Scale by Ahmad Baindrian, Ali Khodaei, Omid Shokri

“…The study conducted by Zhou et al. (2023) utilized exploratory and confirmatory statistical methods on independent samples of adolescents, which empirically supported a structure comprising three aspects: communicative induction, harsh psychological control, and shame resulting from social comparison.Results: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the Parental Psychological Control Scale, which comprises three factors—communicative induction, harsh psychological control, and shame stemming from social comparison—demonstrated good factor validity. Furthermore, the correlations between the dimensions of parental psychological control and empowering parenting, as well as adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in adolescents, supported the convergent validity of the Persian version of the Parental Psychological Control Scale. …”
