“…The age differences matched trends in several short-term longitudinal studies of disclosure, more generally measured, across various portions of the age span that we examined (Cheung et al 2013;Keijsers et al 2009;Laird et al 2013). Like other investigators, we regard this as evidence of growing autonomy from parents.…”

Following the important insight that what parents know about their adolescent offspring depends primarily on what the child tells them, this study examines how attitudes about what parents have a right to know mediate the associations between several factors (quality of parent-child relationships, time spent with family and peers, levels of antisocial and prosocial behaviors, and gender and age) and adolescents' disclosures about peer relations. In two studies of early and middle adolescents (Ns = 231, 249; M ages = 14.5, 13.0; 62.3, 51.8 % female; 53.7, 67.5 % European American), a new measure of right-to-know attitudes is derived and then applied to four facets of adolescents' experiences with peers: details of activities with peers, issues in specific relationships, and positive and negative peer characteristics. The findings indicate that adolescents are more inclined to disclose certain aspects of their peer relations than others, but these inclinations are related to several factors-especially the quality of mother-child relationships and involvement in antisocial behavior-and mediated by adolescents' attitudes regarding what parents have a right to know about peers. The results are related to autonomy development and parental oversight of adolescent peer interactions.

“…In collectivist cultures such as China, there is often no such boundary about privacy issues among parents. The private information and belongings of the adolescents are considered as the property of their parents and young people are obliged to obey their parents' expectations (Cheung et al, 2013). From this perspective, parents can view adolescents' privacy claims as a strategy to hide information (Tang & Dong, 2006).…”

“…Hawk, Becht ve Branje'ye (2016) göre, Batılı ülkelerde ebeveynlerin ergenin kişisel alan ve eşyalarını gizlice karıştırması sık görülmeyen bir izleme stratejisidir. Bu durum aile ilişkilerinin geleneksel olarak güç hiyerarşisine dayandığı ve aile üyelerinin benlik kavramlarına dahil edildiği Çin gibi daha kollektivist toplumlarla farklılık taşımaktadır (Cheung, Pomerantz & Dong, 2013). Toplulukçuluğun ağırlıklı olduğu kültürlerde gözlemlenen mahremiyet sınırlarının yöntemi çoğunlukla tek taraflıdır, statüsü daha yüksek olan aile üyeleri daha az baskın üyelerden bilgi edinme hakkına ve becerisine sahiptir.…”

Öz. Bu çalışmada ergen annelerinin çocuklarını izleme deneyimleri mahremiyet ve gizlilik bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Bunun için öncelikle annelerin ergenle ilgili bilgiye ne ölçüde sahip oldukları, bilgiye ulaşmak için hangi yöntemleri kullandıkları ve bunların annelerin mahremiyet ve özel alana yönelik anlamlandırmaları bağlamında ne şekilde ortaya çıktığının anlaşılması amaçlanmştır. Yorumlayıcı fenomenolojik yöntemle yapılan çalışmada toplam 10 ergen annesiyle derinlemesine bireysel görüşmeler yapılmış, elde edilen veriler yorumlayıcı fenomenolojik analizle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları annelerin ergenle ilgili mahremiyet ve kişisel alan sınırlarının belirsiz olduğunu, ergenle ilgili bilgiye hakimiyetin ergenle açık ve güvene dayalı iletişim, ergenin cinsiyeti, geçmiş yaşantılar ve babanın ebeveynlik rolü ile ilişkili olduğunu, son olarak annelerin ergenle ilgili bilgi almak için, açık ve kapalı bilgi alma stratejilerinin bir arada kullanıldığı çoklu bilgi sağlama stratejilerini tercih ettiklerini göstermektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Ebeveyn izlemesi, anne-ergen ilişkileri, mahremiyet, kişisel alan Abstract. In this study, mothers' experiences of monitoring their adolescents is examined in terms of privacy and personal space. We aimed to understand how much information mothers have about their adolescents, which strategies they use to access information and how they experience the process in terms of their perceptions of privacy and personal space. Adopting an interpretive phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 adolescents' mothers and interpretive phenomenological analysis was used for data analysis. Results of the study revealed that Mothers lack a definition for what is private space, privacy or personal space for their adolescents. Mothers' sense of control over the information is related to Open communication and mutual trust between mothers and their adolescents, the gender of the adolescent, the parental role of the father and negative past experiences about adolescence. Finally mothers prefer multiple monitoring strategies in different combinations to monitor their adolescents.

“…A growing body of research points to the significance of youth's disclosure to parents for their psychological adjustment during adolescence (e.g., Cheung, Pomerantz, & Dong, in press; Keijsers, Branje, VanderValk, & Meeus, ; Kerr & Stattin, ). Youth's disclosure appears to protect them against adjustment problems over and above parents' active monitoring attempts—for example, their solicitation of information (e.g., Kerr & Stattin, ; Kerr, Stattin, & Burk, ; Stattin & Kerr, ).…”

This research examined the reciprocal pathways between youth's sense of responsibility to parents and disclosure to them during early adolescence in the United States and China. Four times over the seventh and eighth grades, 825 American and Chinese youth (mean age = 12.73 years) reported on their sense of responsibility to parents and disclosure of everyday activities to them. Auto-regressive Latent Trajectory (ALT) models revealed that the more youth felt responsible to parents, the more they subsequently disclosed to them in both the United States and China. The reverse was also true: The more youth disclosed to parents, the more responsible they felt to them over time. The strength of these reciprocal pathways increased as youth progressed through early adolescence.
