Adolescence signifies a lifetime period, which involves a higher probability for the emergence of behavioural problems of both internal and external types. In the adolescence period, parental behaviour becomes a considerable risk and/or preventing factor in the development of internal and external behavioural problems and is closely linked to the psychosocial adaptation. The aim of this research is to investigate the relational links between the perceived control of both parents and behavioural problems in high school adolescents in the city of Dubrovnik. The research included 129 adolescents from the first grades of high school with the average age of 15 years old. Parental control was examined with the Children’s report of parental behavior inventory. Youth self report was used in order to scale the internal and external behavioural problems. The results have shown that adolescents assess the parental behaviour as present with somewhat higher levels of behavioural control. Moreover, the research has revealed a prevalence of behavioural over psychological control. In comparison to fathers, mothers are more pronounced in expressing psychological control, as well as in applying the behavioural control. In expressing the behavioural problems, the research has shown an almost equal representation of both internal and external type in adolescents. Furthermore, there is a positive, albeit low correlation between mother’s psychological control and behavioural problems of external type. This research has not identified a considerable correlation between mother’s psychological control and behavioural problems of the internal type, nor has it detected a correlation between father’s psychological control with the adolescent’s behavioural problems, encompassing both types of internal and external problems. Finally, the research has demonstrated that there is no significant correlation between behavioural control of mother and father with the behavioural problems in adolescents.
