Antecedents of parent-adolescent disagreements

Article Abstract:

A theory which assumes that parent-adolescent conflict is primarily determined by family context was evaluated. Under such theory, it is presupposed that warmth and supportiveness within a family bring about peaceful conflict settlement between parents and children. The theory further states that when hostility and coercion prevail, disagreements between parents and children are unlikely to be resolved. Findings from a four-year study of 335 families verified the theory's assumptions.
