ABSTRACT

Parents’ involvement is generally related to many positive child outcome. However, recent studies have found the negative effects of over-controlling parenting, or "helicopter parenting," in college students. This study examined the mediating effect of lying to one's parents on the relationship between perceived helicopter parenting and psychopathic tendencies in emerging adulthood. Korean college students (N = 437) reported their parents' helicopter parenting, current deceptive behaviors toward parents, and psychopathic tendencies. The results revealed that the adults who reported higher levels of helicopter parenting showed higher levels of deception toward their parents and higher levels of psychopathic tendencies. The levels of deception toward parents mediated the relationship between perceived helicopter parenting and psychopathic tendencies.
