Adolescence is often thought of as a period during which
parent–child interactions can be relatively stressed and
conflictual. There are individual differences in this regard, however,
with only a modest percent of youth experiencing extremely conflictual
relationships with their parents. Relatively little empirical
research, however, addresses individual differences in the quality of
parent–adolescent interactions concerning potentially conflictual
issues. The research reported in this monograph examined dispositional
and parenting predictors of the quality of parents’ and their
adolescent children’s emotional displays and positive and negative
verbalizations when dealing with conflictual issues. Of particular
interest were patterns of continuity and discontinuity in the factors
related to conflicts. A multimethod, multireporter (mother, teacher,
and sometimes adolescent reports) longitudinal approach(over 4 years)
was used to assess adolescents’ dispositional characteristics
(control/regulation, resiliency, and negative emotionality), youths’
externalizing problems, and parenting variables (warmth, positive
expressivity, discussion of emotion, positive and negative family
expressivity). Parentadolescent conflicts appear to be influenced by
both child characteristics and quality of prior and concurrent
parenting, and child effects may be more evident than parent effects
in this pattern of relations.
