“…Lorsque les sujets étaient d'ordre prudentiel ou régulé socialement (c.-à-d., moraux et conventionnels), les adolescents estimaient que l'autorité parentale était légitime et, en retour, ils se sentaient en quelque sorte obligés de dévoiler des informations (p. ex., Nucci, Smetana, Araki, Nakaue, & Comer, 2014 ;Smetana & Metzger, 2008 ;Smetana et al, 2006). Par contre, lorsque les sujets étaient d'ordre personnel, les adolescents ne se sentaient pas obligés de se confier.…”

La connaissance parentale des activités de temps libre des adolescents est largement reconnue comme un facteur protecteur pour l’ajustement psychosocial des adolescents. Les parents savent (ou ignorent) ce que leurs adolescents effectuent hors de la supervision parentale parce que leurs enfants partagent (ou dissimulent) des informations sur leurs activités ou leurs amitiés. Ainsi, durant cette période développementale marquée par un besoin accru d’indépendance, les adolescents utilisent plusieurs stratégies (p. ex., libre divulgation, secrets, mensonges) pour gérer les informations détenues par leurs parents. L’objectif de cet article est de passer en revue ces différents moyens, de présenter leur fonction développementale et de discuter de leurs conséquences sur l’adaptation psychosociale des adolescents et sur la relation avec leurs parents. Cet article propose également de s’interroger sur les raisons pour lesquelles les adolescents choisissent de divulguer ou de cacher des informations, notamment en abordant successivement leurs motifs personnels et les caractéristiques de la relation avec leurs parents.

“…While Tilton-Weaver (2014) found that relationship dynamics and adolescent delinquent behaviors play a role in adolescents’ information management, she suggested that future research should sample more divergent cultures where strong expectations to conform to the rules and expectations of parents and other adults might affect this relationship. In one study with Japanese adolescents, levels of adolescent disclosure to parents, and perceptions of the obligation to disclose to parents were less than typically found in U.S. adolescents (Nucci et al 2014). These authors interpreted these results to reflect a cultural tendency in Japan to view adolescents’ actions as matters of personal responsibility.…”

The normative process of autonomy development in adolescence involves changes in adolescents’ information management typically characterized by decreasing disclosure and increasing concealment. These changes may have an important impact on the early detection and timely treatment of mental health conditions and risky behavior. Therefore, the objective was to extend our understanding of how these developmental changes in adolescent disclosure might impact adolescent mental health interviews. Specifically, we estimated the effects of third party presence and type of third party presence (adult, child, or both) on adolescents’ reports of psychiatric symptoms, substance use, suicidal behavior, and childhood adversity. In this representative sample of 3005 adolescents from Mexico City (52.1 % female), administered the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI-A), adult presence influenced reporting the most; in their presence, adolescents reported more ADHD, parental mental illness and economic adversity, but less panic disorder, PTSD, drug use and disorder, and suicidal behavior. The presence of children was associated with increased odds of reporting conduct disorder, opportunity for drug use, parental criminal behavior, neglect, and the death of a parent. While adolescent information management strategies are normative and even desirable as a means of gaining emotional autonomy, they may also interfere with timely detection and treatment or intervention for mental health conditions and risky behaviors. Research and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Some studies of adolescents' disclosure and parental authority acknowledge the complexity of peer relations by branding them as ''multifaceted'' rather than clear exemplars of the personal, prudential, or conventional domains (Nucci et al 2014). Moreover, parents and adolescents often disagree about the domain into which a particular facet of peer relationships falls (Smetana et al 2006).…”

“…A hallmark of adolescence in the dominant US culture is the inclination to spend more time with peers and less with family. As adolescents' interactions and relationships with peers expand, they have more information to share with parents, but also possibly more to hide if they fear that parents will disapprove and seek to curtail their peer interactions (Nucci et al 2014;Stattin and Kerr 2000). Thus, it is unclear whether higher levels of peer involvement will increase or diminish disclosure of information to 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.
