Abstract: Based on self-determination theory and person and environment interaction theory, the current study examined the relationship between parental behavioral control, psychological control and social maladjustment among high school students, as well as the mediating effects of interpersonal self-reliance and campus exclusion. A total of 1209 high school students from three public schools in Liaoning province were tested by using parental control questionnaire, interpersonal self-support scale, campus exclusion questionnaire and negative social adaptation questionnaire. The results showed that:(1) Parental behavioral control had no significant predictive effect on social maladjustment, while psychological control had a positive predictive effect on social maladjustment among high school students; (2) Interpersonal self-support and campus exclusion played mediating roles between parental control and social maladjustment. Specifically, parental behavior control can predict high school students' social maladjustment through the mediating role of interpersonal self-support, and the chain-mediated role of interpersonal self-support and campus exclusion. Parental psychological control not only directly predict social maladjustment, but also can predict social maladjustment through the mediating roles of interpersonal self-support and campus exclusion respectively, as well as the chain-mediated role of interpersonal self-support and campus exclusion. Research ultimately tease out a theoretical mechanism of "parenting style → personality development → interpersonal feedback → adaptation outcome".

Key words: parental behavioral control, parental psychological control, interpersonal self-support, campus exclusion, social maladjustment
