Pace U, et al. - Researchers investigated the role of parental control and perceived peer support in order to determine the negative eating attitudes and behaviors among adolescents. They demonstrated a moderator effect of perceived peer support in the relationship between father's psychological control and negative eating attitudes and behaviors, such that at higher levels of paternal achievement-oriented psychological control, negative eating attitudes and behaviors tended to be higher when perceived peer support was low and to be lower when perceived peer support was high.
