The influence of parental psychological control on children's development is a critical area of research. This systematic review explores the outcomes of parental psychological con-trol on children during childhood, within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The review included 14 studies that used SDT to assess parental psychological control and children's developmental outcomes. Studies evaluated were primarily cross-sectional and with heterogeneous samples. The systematic synthesis of the findings em-phasizes the detrimental impact of parental psychological control on children's well-being and developmental outcomes, thus highlighting the pivotal role of parenting style in chil-dren's growth. Overall, this review contributes to enhancing the understanding of the rela-tionship between parental psychological control and children's outcomes, providing valu-able insights for future research and interventions.
