The study was carried during the years the kids were attending elementary school in Finland. This is one of the most important periods of examination social withdrawal and its consequences. A total of 378 children were selected ( 182 girls and 196 boys) and the data was gathered by parents and their teachers. The majority of the children came from nuclear families with a 76% while 12% came from blended families, as well from single-parent families.

Furthermore, the impact of mother psychological control over their children’s prosocial behavior were dependent on the level of the children’s social withdrawal. The joint effects of social study and fathers parenting style demonstrated almost the same as the mother. The results were consistent with the diathesis-stress model in which children, as was stated before that showed high levels of social withdrawal, were vulnerable to the negative effects of parental control. Overall, the patterns found in the study consisting of the child environment model, as paternal psychological control has an impact and effect on children’s internalizing problems.
