Abstract
People in close relationships influence the health behavior of their significant others. Recent research has explored one form of influence—social control—and produced results that suggest varying relationships between social control, health outcomes, and psychological well-being. For the present article, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare three predominant models of social control. We observed that measures of social control that distinguish between positive and negative forms of social control demonstrated stronger associations with health outcomes than did general measures of social control. Furthermore, measures of positive and negative social control were related to proposed psychological mediators.
