Title: Adolescents' perceptions of communication with parents relative to specific aspects of relationships with parents and personal development. Author: Jackson S, Bijstra J, Oostra L, Bosma H. Journal: J Adolesc; 1998 Jun; 21(3):305-22. PubMed ID: 9657897. Abstract: Adolescents' views of communication with their parents are examined in relation to measures of family satisfaction, adolescent decision-making and disagreement with parents (Study I), and to measures of self-esteem, well-being and coping (Study II). The results provide some support for the psychometric qualities of the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale (PACS) and suggest that good family communication is associated with satisfaction with the family and with lack of disagreement between adolescents and parents. They also indicate a positive association between family communication and adolescent self-esteem, certain aspects of adolescent well-being and type of coping strategy employed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
