| Annotation | Control over personal relationships - individual perceptions that could be managed by the quality of relationships - were examined for 187 individuals aged 13 to 99 (mean age 43.62), who provided information about their close and problematic relationships and their perceptions of control over these relationships. Multilevel modelling revealed that both relationship features and individual characteristics were associated with perceptions of control in relationships. Specifically, individuals felt more in control in their marital relationships, and in relationships characterised by higher quality and fewer worries. Age differences in individuals' perceptions of control in relationships appear to reflect age-related shifts in perceptions of control in the parent-child tie. (RH). |
