  • Title: Parent-child relationships as a protective factor in preventing adolescents' psychosocial risk in inter-racial adoptive and non-adoptive families.
    Author: Rosnati R, Marta E.
    Journal: J Adolesc; 1997 Dec; 20(6):617-31. PubMed ID: 9417795.
    Abstract:
    This study aims to compare family relations in inter-racial adoptive and non-adoptive families with a late adolescent and to examine the extent to which family relations constitute a protective factor in preventing adolescents' psychosocial risk. The sample consisted of 103 inter-racial adoptive families and 150 non-adoptive families with a child aged between 16 and 19 years. Subjects were requested to complete a self-report questionnaire. The results suggest the existence of a different relational configuration in inter-racial adoptive and non-adoptive families. They also show that the father-child relationship and the mother-child relationship play different roles in preventing the adolescent's maladjustment in inter-racial adoptive and non-adoptive families.
