The study surveyed a total of 328 middle schools students. The results are as follows. Firstly, when a correlation analysis was conducted to elucidate any connections among the major variables, mother’s psychological control was negatively correlated with subjective well-being. In addition mother’s psychological control was positively correlated with external, introjected regulation. Moreover mother’s psychological control was negatively correlated with identified/integrated, intrinsic regulation. It was further revealed that external and introjected regulation was negatively correlated with subjective well-being.
