Parental Authority in Adolescent-Parents Relationships
Parental Authority in Adolescent-Parents Relationships

Summary/Abstract: The study sets out to shed light on ways in which parents (communicatively) assert authority vis-à-vis their adolescent children in situations challenging parental authority, the perceived most probable outcomes of these situations, and attitudes towards ideal outcomes. To this aim four (situationally specific) vignettes are analyzed. The sample consisted of 194 first born children aged 11 to 18, and both of their parents living in Slovenia. The relevance of findings is generalized beyond the existing sample.
