Overview

Observational analysis found overcontrol predicts worsening anxiety and peer functioning in children, highlighting its role as a risk factor.

Key Points

  • Findings showed overcontrol independently predicted worsening psychiatric symptoms and peer relations.
  • Overcontrol mediated the relationship between behavioral inhibition and both anxiety and peer functioning.
  • Error-related negativity did not moderate the mediation between overcontrol and outcomes.
  • Identifying overcontrol early may help address childhood psychiatric and social difficulties.
