Abstract

Objectives This study aims to verify the mediating effect of unconditional self-acceptance and emotional clarity in the relationship between parental psychological control perceived by late adolescents and ambivalence over emotional expressiveness.
 Methods To this end, 461 male and female late adolescents aged 19 to 24 nationwide were surveyed, and reli-ability analysis, descriptive statistics analysis, correlation analysis, and mediating effect analysis were performed using SPSS 29.0 and PROCESS Macro 4.1 programs, and bootstrapping was performed to verify the significance of indirect effects.
 Results The main results of the study are as follows. First, there was a significant correlation between psycho-logical control of father and mother, unconditional self-acceptance, emotional clarity, and the ambivalence over emotional expressiveness. Second, there was a complete mediating effect of unconditional self-acceptance in the relationship between psychological control of father and mother and the ambivalence over emotional expressiveness. Third, in the relationship between psychological control of father and the ambivalence over emo-tional expressiveness, there was a partial mediating effect of emotional clarity, whereas in the case of psycho-logical control of mother, there was a complete mediating effect of emotional clarity. Fourth, in the relationship between psychological control of father and mother and the ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, there was a sequential mediating effect of unconditional self-acceptance and emotional clarity.
 Conclusions Expanding the understanding of the process in which late adolescents who highly perceive their pa-rental psychological control experience ambivalence over emotional expressiveness. By revealing the internal mechanisms of unconditional self-acceptance and emotional clarity that mediate this relationship, the direction and basic data of counseling and education programs for late adolescents who experience parental psychological control and complain of emotional expression conflicts were provided.
