Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage, according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day.
Researchers found that people who reported that parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens, their 30s, their 40s and even their 60s.
The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in degree to that observed in people who have lost a family member, experts from University College London (UCL) said.
In contrast, people who said their parents were more caring, warm and responsive to their needs tended to be more content well into adulthood.
The findings are the culmination of a survey which has tracked more than 5, 000 people since their birth in 1946. It is well-established that childhood influences can have profound effect on the developing brain, but this is one of the first studies that have attempted to measure their impact over such a long period of time.
Information on parenting styles was only available from the study participants themselves, who were asked to recall their childhoods when in their 40s, and may therefore suffer from a degree of so-called recall bias-unhappy people may be more likely to depict their parents as controlling.
However, the research said the findings agreed with previous studies which have shown that children who are able to form secure emotional bonds with parents are more likely to have secure happy relationships later in life.
“Parents also give us stable base from which to explore the world while warmth and responsiveness has been shown to promote social and emotional development, ” said Dr. Maid Stafford, of the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) Lifelong and Ageing unit at UCL.
“By contrast, psychological control can limit children’s independence and leave them less able to regulate their own behaviour. ” Dr Stafford said that the study did not seek to blame parents.
“Parents are vitally important to the mental wellbeing of future
generations, ” she said.
“Policies to reduce economic and other pressures on parents could help them to foster better relationships with their children. ”
Previous research has shown a clear link between economic stress in parents and poorer early child development.
