Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine which aspects of parent-adolescent relations contribute to the quality of adolescent peer relations. Five hundred and eight families participated in the study. The sample consisted of 969 parents (502 mothers and 467 fathers) and 508 children (254 females and 254 males), 12 to 18 years old. Parents were administered questionnaires measuring parent-child relationship, while adolescents completed questionnaires measuring their relationship towards peers. Several aspects of the quality of parent-child relations were assessed: parental acceptance, attachment, involvement, responsiveness, love withdrawal and monitoring of the child. The indicators of the quality of peer relations were: degree of peer activity, having a best friend, perceived acceptance by peers and attachment to peers.
