“…A person's attitude and behavior are developed in various social contexts, where values are one of the first steps of moral development in the family; parents not only transmit norms, standards and values, but also strengthen them through daily parenting practices [34]. The internalization of parents' values depends on the age of the children and the relationship between parents and children, which promotes the assimilation of values based on the closeness and support of family members [35].…”

The conducted research reveals the significance of parents’ values and social environment factors, and their influence on pro-ecological attitudes. Parents from Lithuania were invited to participate in the study by filling out a questionnaire that aimed to assess their personal and ecological values, as well as factors of their social environment; the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale was used to assessed the pro-ecological attitude of the respondents. The results demonstrate that, among the personal values of parents, money takes a place of priority, but this cannot be treated only in the context of materialism, because parents seek the good of their children by fulfilling their needs, while also contributing to their education regarding financial literacy and consumption. In the context of ecological values, the results reveal the values of safe food and fresh air, showing how much parents care about their own and their children’s health, as well as noting air pollution as one of the pressing eco-problems. The results also show that family and school are factors of the social environment that most significantly influence parents’ pro-ecological attitude. The results reveal the respondents’ overall support for a pro-environmental worldview, and that parents who are older, more educated and live in the city are more likely to have a pro-environmental attitude.

“…To some extent, these findings echo the previous proposition that psychological control is a dysfunctional parenting practice impairing the child's healthy functioning in different societies ( 19 , 59 ). Nevertheless, some prior studies reported that parental psychological control insignificantly affects a child's developmental outcomes ( 54 , 55 , 57 ). The weak or insignificant effect of parental psychological control may imply different interpretations of parenting practices in Chinese societies.…”

“…Parental behavioral control and psychological control were measured by the respective subscales derived from the validated Chinese Parent-Child Subsystem Quality Scale that has been frequently used to measure Chinese adolescents' perceptions of parental factors ( 53 , 54 ). Each parent's behavioral control was assessed using seven items (e.g., “My father/mother asked me about what I did after school” and “My father/mother actively understands my afterschool activities”), and psychological control was measured using four items (e.g., “My father/mother often wants to change my mind or feelings for things” and “My father/mother values his/her thoughts and overlooks mine”).…”

IntroductionThe present study investigated how maternal and paternal controls, including behavioral and psychological controls, predict adolescent Internet addiction, as well as the potential moderating effects of adolescent gender and parent-child relationships on the predictions.MethodsData were collected from 1,974 Chinese adolescents (age range = 14–22; mean = 16.47; SD = 0.87; 1,099 girls) in Guizhou Province, mainland China in November 2021. Internet addiction was measured using the ten-item Internet Addiction Test developed by Kimberly Young, and Parental control and parent-child relationships were measured by the respective subscales derived from the validated Chinese Parent-Child Subsystem Quality Scale.ResultsHierarchical regression analyses revealed that after the covariates were statistically controlled, both parents' behavioral controls showed significant negative predictions on adolescent Internet addiction, while their psychological control tended to positively predict Internet addiction among adolescents, although the effect was only marginal. In addition, the impacts of maternal and paternal controls were equal, and such impacts did not vary between sons and daughters. While adolescent gender was not a significant moderator, the parent-child relationship quality significantly moderated the effects of paternal behavioral control, paternal psychological control, and maternal psychological control on adolescents' Internet addiction. Specifically, the prediction of paternal behavioral control was stronger while the effect of paternal and maternal psychological control was weaker among adolescents with a positive father-child relationship than those with a moderate or poor father-child relationship.DiscussionThese findings indicate the protective function of parents' behavioral control and the negative impact of psychological control on the development of adolescent Internet addiction. Further, a positive relationship between the father and the adolescent can strengthen the positive effect of paternal behavioral control and mitigate the negative effects of both parents' psychological controls.

“…Self-discipline and perseverance are traits that determine long-term adherence to tasks to achieve long-term goals. This trait is not associated with personality traits, family culture and contradictions, and social environments [20]. It is suggested that Chinese parents should not only improve the condition of life and work for the patients, but also give more emotional care to AIS patients, to help them develop the habit of self-discipline.…”

Objective To investigate the Effect of Environmental Psychological Factors on Orthosis Therapy for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) in the three-dimensional perspectives included oneself, family and school environment. Methods Patients with AIS undergoing bracing therapy from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Information about the patients included baseline data, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, family environment scale, and academic achievement was collected. The patient‘s data of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and family environment scale was compared with the Chinese norm to determine the representativeness of the included sample. The patients were divided into complianced group and control group according to the compliance condition, single factor analysis was carried out by χ2 test or independent sample t test. The meaningful variables were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 50 patients were included. There was no statistical difference observed in patient’s statistics compared with Chinese norm (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis results showed statistical difference in emotional stability (t = 3.14, P = 0.00) of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, whereas there was no statistical difference in internal and external direction (t = 1.07, P = 0.28), mental quality (t = 0.17, P = 0.86); There had statistical difference in intimacy (t = 3.96, P = 0.00) in the household environmental scale, whereas contradictions (t = 1.53, P = 0.13) and culture (t = 0.38, P = 0.70) were not statistically different; Statistical difference was observed in academic performance (χ2 = 7.96, P = 0.00). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, Statistical difference was not observed in the emotional stability and academic achievement (p > 0.05). Intimacy remained an independent influence factor for compliance (P = 0.01, Exp (B) = 3.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.27～7.56). Conclusion High-intimacy family environment is an important environmental characteristic of high compliance. Effective communication between parents and patients is required in Orthosis Therapy for AIS.
