The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between parental psychological control, future orientation, parental academic involvement and academic anxiety among children. A sample of 5164 children in grades 4 to 6 from 7 primary schools of Shandong Province completed anonymous questionnaires. After controlling for age, only child and gender, the results showed that: 1) Parental psychological control could negatively predict future orientation and positively predict children’s academic anxiety. 2) The relation between parental psychological control and children’s academic anxiety was mediated by future orientation. 3) The effect of parental psychological control on children’s academic anxiety was moderated by parental academic involvement. These results indicate that parental psychological control decreases the future orientation of children and thus increases children’s academic anxiety, whereas parental academic involvement reduces the negative effects of parental psychological control on children’s academic anxiety.
