“…Pragmatically, we find it curious that studies of parent-peer linkages in adolescence have received short shrift, given that ages 14 to 18 are the most stressful time for parents, who worry about such peer-related issues as their children's choice of friends, negative peer pressure, and involvement in deviant behaviors (Gecas & Seff, 1990;Olson et al, 1983;Pasley & Gecas, 1984;Small, Eastman, & Cornelius, 1988;Steinberg, 1990). Yet little is known about whether parents act on these concerns by attempting to manage adolescents' social relationships, and what strategies, if any, parents employ to foster positive peer affiliations and counteract negative influences.…”

This study examines how experiences in the family domain may magnify or mitigate experiences in the peer domain, and how processes in both milieus may influence adolescent substance use. The data derived from 666 European American mother-adolescent dyads and 510 European American father-adolescent dyads. Consistent with individuation-connectedness theory, mothers' responsiveness lessened their adolescents' orientation to peers, which, in turn, reduced adolescent substance use. This process was moderated by maternal values regarding adolescent alcohol use; that is, the relation of maternal responsiveness to adolescent substance use depended on the extent of maternal approval or disapproval of adolescent alcohol use. Among fathers, closer monitoring was directly associated with less adolescent substance use, with stronger effects among fathers who held more disapproving values regarding adolescent alcohol use. Theoretical, methodological, and pragmatic implications are given.

“…Drawing once again on prior research (Conger et al, 1992(Conger et al, , 1993Gecas & Serf, 1990), we hypothesized that parents who use nurturant methods for guiding their child's behavior promote positive behavior in the child and thus negatively influence defensive, avoidant, or obdurate adolescent behavior over time. Also, recognizing that a difficult adolescent can exasperate even skillful parents, we hypothesized a negative relationship between disruptive, inflexible adolescent behavior and later parental nurturance.…”

This investigation evaluated the hypothesis that the development of either effective or disruptive adolescent problem-solving behavior is reciprocally associated with the child-rearing strategies of parents. Longitudinal data collected over 3 time points from a large sample of families were analyzed at l-year and 2-year measurement intervals by using structural equation modeling. Parent and adolescent behavior was assessed by independent observers. Reciprocal parent-adolescent interactions occurred primarily in the presence of disruptive adolescent behavior. Analyses involving positive adolescent behavior produced unidirectional effects from parent behavior to adolescent behavior. Also, reciprocal associations were most evident when the 2-year measurement interval was used.

“…No entanto, outras pesquisas têm demonstrado que a adolescência é um período de mudança gradual, que não é definido nem pela instabilidade, nem pela regressão do ego. Os pais também continuam a desempenhar papel importante na vida do adolescente, não sendo antagônicos aos companheiros do mesmo (Dornsbuch, 1989;Fasick, 1984;Fleming, 1993;Gecas & Seff, 1990;Lopes, 1994;Montemayor & Brownlee, 1987;Waldemar, 1983).…”

“…O controle parental, portanto, parece ser especialmente importante durante a fase dos filhos adolescentes. Ele compreende a maneira pela qual os pais inibem o comportamento do filho e envolve várias estratégias como: proteção, supervisão, clareza nas regras, punição, coerção, disciplina, restrição, asserção de poder, permissividade e indução (Gecas & Seff, 1990).…”

RESUMO -Foram investigadas influências do nível de satisfação com a vida e controle materno sobre a percepção mantida por mães, quanto aos relacionamentos com seus filhos adolescentes. Duzentas e cinqüenta e seis mães responderam a um único questionário, contendo as variáveis de interesse da pesquisa. Além dos índices gerais, foram computados resultados de quatro dimensões subjacentes à escala satisfação com a vida e cinco subjacentes à escala controle parental. A percepção do grupo de mães sobre seus relacionamentos com filhos adolescentes também foi mensurada por um índice geral e cinco dimensões específicas. Análises de regressão múltipla hierárquica revelaram que, mesmo controlando a influência do conjunto de variáveis demográficas, uma quantidade significativa da variância do relacionamento mãe-filho adolescente pode ser predita pelos índices gerais das variáveis satisfação com a vida e locus de controle parental, bem como pelos índices específicos das dimensões controle parental, responsabilidade parental e eficácia parental.Palavras-chave: relação mãe-filho adolescente; controle maternal; satisfação com a vida. Maternal Locus of Control, Life Satisfaction and the Perception of the Mother-Adolescent Child RelationshipABSTRACT -This study investigated the influence of life satisfaction and maternal locus of control on the perception of mothers about their relationships with their adolescent child. Two hundred fifty-six mothers answered a questionnaire with all the relevant dimensions of the study. Besides of the general scores, results of four specific dimensions underlying the life satisfaction scale and five dimensions underlying the locus of parental control scale were analyzed. The mothers' perception about their relationship with their adolescent children was also measured through a general score and five specific dimensions. Even after the control of the amount of demographic variance, hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that a significant amount of variance of mother-adolescent children relationship may be predicted by the general measures of life satisfaction, parental locus of control and also by the specific measures of factors like parental control, parental responsibility and parental efficacy.
