多项研究发现，初级控制在老年时下降，且在亚洲国家更低，而次级控制在老年时上升，且在亚洲国家更高。我们研究了这些模式是否可能是由于相互依赖的中介影响。在日本和美国的557名年轻人和老年人样本中，对初级控制、次级控制、年龄和相互依赖进行了测量。我们发现相互依赖在以下方面起中介作用：（1）文化对次级控制的影响；（2）年龄对初级控制和次级控制的影响。研究结果表明，在试图从跨文化和发展的角度理解控制的决定因素时，相互依赖是一个应考虑的重要因素。
A number of studies have found that primary control declines in old age and is lower in Asian countries, while secondary control increases in old age and is higher in Asian countries. We examined whether these patterns may be due to the mediating influence of interdependence. In a sample of 557 young and old adults in Japan and the United States, primary and secondary control, age, and interdependence were measured. We found that interdependence mediates the influence of. (1) culture on secondary control; and (2) age on both primary and secondary control. Findings suggest that interdependence is an important factor that should be considered in trying to understand the determinants of control cross-culturally and developmentally.
