Latins, Catholics and from the far south: Argentinian adolescents and their parents

Article Abstract:

Research results show that most 15- to 18- year-old Argentine adolescents have positive relationships with their parents and that parents remain as the most important persons in the adolescents' emotional life. The research confirms the position of the mother as the central figure in the family and is considered to be emotionally more important than the father. Differences caused by gender were more significant while those caused by socio-economic status and age were almost non-existent. Such findings were also discussed in relation to the existing cultural, socio-economic and political climate.

Concurrent and predictive correlates of girls' depression and antisocial behaviour under conditions of economic crisis and value change: the case of Albania

Article Abstract:

Financial insecurity and discrepancies in parental and social values can have grave consequences for family life, most specifically for pre-adolescent girls. A longitudianl study was undertaken on 12-year-old children in Albania to ascertain this phenomenon. It was seen that parental antagonism toward the daughter impacted directly on her interpersonal skills. Conversely, the more reticent she grew the more wrath she incurred from her parents.
