“…Reliability coefficients were high (a = .85 for autonomy support and a = .85 for controlling parenting). Past research shows that autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviors form two separate factors in exploratory factor analyses (Mageau et al 2015a). Also, higher-order factor analysis showed that the six subscales load in expected ways on two higher-order factors, with three subscales loading on an autonomy-supportive secondorder factor and three subscales loading on a controlling one (Fournier et al 2010).…”

“…Adolescents evaluated their mothers' use of autonomysupportive and controlling behaviors using the Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale (P-PASS; Mageau et al 2015a). The P-PASS measures three autonomy-supportive behaviors and three controlling practices using a 4-item subscale per behavior.…”

“…Controlling parenting is characterized by pressure, intrusion, and domination (Grolnick and Pomerantz 2009) and can be either externally (e.g., coercive threats) or internally controlling (e.g., conditional love, invalidation, shaming; Soenens and Vansteenkiste 2010). In the present study, controlling parenting is operationalized using both externally and internally controlling behaviors (i.e., threats, guilt inductions, and performance pressures; Mageau et al 2015a). Controlling parenting has been linked to children's oppositional behaviors (Bronstein 1994), antisocial acts (Barber 1996;Conger et al 1997;Herman et al 1997;Joussemet et al 2008b;Prinzie et al 2010), and emotional self-regulation problems (Fabes et al 2001).…”

Although autonomy-supportive and controlling parenting are linked to numerous positive and negative child outcomes respectively, fewer studies have focused on their determinants. Drawing on achievement goal theory and self-determination theory, we propose that parental achievement goals (i.e., achievement goals that parents have for their children) can be mastery, performance-approach or performance-avoidance oriented and that types of goals predict mothers' tendency to adopt autonomysupportive and controlling behaviors. A total of 67 mothers (aged 30-53 years) reported their goals for their adolescent (aged 13-16 years; 19.4 % girls), while their adolescent evaluated their mothers' behaviors. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that parental performance-approach goals predict more controlling parenting and prevent acknowledgement of feelings, one autonomy-supportive behavior. In addition, mothers who have mastery goals and who endorse performance-avoidance goals are less likely to use guilt-inducing criticisms. These findings were observed while controlling for the effect of maternal anxiety.

“…In other words, adolescents must perceive that their behaviors are determined by themselves or if not completely self-determined, at least supported by their parents. As the most important socializing agent in adolescents’ lives, parents may create an autonomy-supportive environment that promotes autonomous motivation or an autonomy-controlling environment that elicits amotivation (Mageau, Joussemet, Koestner, Moreau, & Forest, 2015), although research is scarce on the relationships between parenting practices and adolescents’ leisure motivations.…”

Perceived Parental Control, Restructuring Ability, and Leisure Motivation: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

et al. 2016

Leisure is viewed worldwide as an important developmental context for adolescents. As leisure research and programs are shared across nations, it is crucial to examine the cultural equivalence of leisure-related constructs and how they are related. Grounded in self-determination theory, this study explored the influence of perceived parental control and leisure restructuring ability on leisure motivation (amotivation and autonomous motivation) using samples of eighth grade adolescents in the United States and South Africa. Results of multiple-group structural equation modeling showed that the measurement model of the constructs was equivalent across the two samples, but the determinants of leisure motivation differed between the two samples. The findings provide implications for future cross-cultural research in leisure and offer insights on design and adaptation of leisure-based intervention and education programs in different cultural contexts.

“…More recently, Moreau and Mageau (2012) developed the perceived autonomy support scale for employees (PASS-E). However, this scale is also an ad hoc scale based on the perceived parental autonomy support scale (Mageau et al, 2011), and it only measures employees' perceptions of their managers' autonomy support. No previous scale properly reflects the assumptions of SDT by including all three aspects of need support at work: autonomy, competence, and relatedness support.…”

Although the relevance of employee need satisfaction and manager need support have been examined, the integration of self-determination theory (SDT) into work and organizational psychology has been hampered by the lack of validated measures. The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate measures of employees' perception of need satisfaction (NSa-WS) and need support (NSu-WS) at work that were grounded in SDT. We used three Swedish samples (total N = 1,430) to develop and validate our scales. We used a confirmatory approach including expert panels to assess item content relevance, confirmatory factor analysis for factorial validity, and associations with theoretically warranted outcomes to assess criterion-related validity. Scale reliability was also assessed. We found evidence of content, factorial, and criterion-related validity of our two scales of need satisfaction and need support at work. Further, the scales demonstrated high internal consistency. Our newly developed scales may be used in research and practice to further our understanding regarding how satisfaction and support of employee basic needs influence employee motivation, performance, and well-being. Our study makes a contribution to the current literature by providing (1) scales that are specifically designed for the work context, (2) an example of how expert panels can be used to assess content validity, and (3) testing of theoretically derived hypotheses that, although SDT is built on them, have not been examined before.
