As a result, a total of 724 valid questionnaires were collected out of 820 questionnaires, in which included 96 questionnaires with missing data, giving an effective response rate of 89.83%. The data of the survey were analyzed by independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis.The research findings are as follows: 1. The vocational school students have a lower level of perception of maternal psychological control scale. 2. On the scale of perception of maternal psychological control, male students reached a higher score than female students. 3. The male students reached a higher score than female students on the aspect of "being lackadaisical" in indecisiveness scale. 4. The aspect of "dependency-oriented psychological control" is the most significant predictor of the aspect of "being neurotic". 5. The aspect of "achievement-oriented psychological control" is the second most significant predictor of the aspect of "being lackadaisical". 6. The aspect of "evaluation" is the most significant predictor of the aspect of "being perfectionistic". 7.
