“…In fact, compared to their Spanish peers, Italian adolescents perceive higher levels of rigidity and enmeshment in their family functioning. The data therefore highlight how, despite a general agreement about the perception of family functioning in the two compared regions, the important difference, with respect to any characteristic deemed crucial to the adaptation of the system and for individuals who are part of it, cannot be disregarded (Cacioppo, Pace, & Zappulla, 2013;Minuchin, Rosman, & Baker, 1978). Accordingly, within a general perceptual uniformity of family functioning across the two regions, it seems that there is a specificity of the Italian culture in structuring mutual relations in which emotional closeness and loyalty are demanded, and consequently, the development of the personal individuation may be hampered by a sort of foreclosing family system.…”

“…Extant research, however, has identified a significant contribution of parenting behaviors to adolescent SWB (e.g., Cacioppo et al 2013;Leung et al 2010;Rasmi et al 2012;Saha et al 2010). Furthermore, internal resources such as self-efficacy, gratitude, optimism, selfesteem, hope, and resilience have been identified as psychological strengths that promote adolescent SWB (Khan 2013;Lightsey et al 2013;Merkaš and Brajša-Ž ganec 2011;SivisCetinkaya 2013;Suldo and Shaffer 2007;Sun and Shek 2012;Vecchio et al 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the mediation roles of academic selfefficacy, social self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy on the relationships between parental involvement (i.e., paternal involvement and maternal involvement) and subjective well-being (i.e., positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction) in Malaysian adolescents. Participants were 802 Malaysian high school students from 14 public schools, with an age range of 15-17 years. Results of a multiple mediator model indicated that academic self-efficacy and social self-efficacy were unique mediators in the relationships between parental involvement (both paternal involvement and maternal involvement) and adolescent positive affect. Besides, academic self-efficacy was found to be the only unique mediator in the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent life satisfaction. Emotional self-efficacy did not uniquely mediate the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent positive affect and life satisfaction. None of the proposed mediators uniquely mediated the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent negative affect. This study suggests that paternal involvement is just as crucial to adolescent positive development as maternal involvement. In addition, this study also extends our insight into the specific roles of academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy in the relationship between parental involvement and the components of subjective wellbeing among adolescents.

“…The continuation of friendships with strong background from the adolescence period for longer time periods have a significant influence for a young adult, who will go into professional and family life. According to Baiocco, Pallini, and Santamaria (2014), the strong relationships are usually developed with a best friend, one of the most important sources of emotional and social support both for children and adolescents (Baiocco, Di Pomponio, Nigito, & Laghi, 2011;Chen, French, & Schneider, 2006) -can positively influence individuation from the family (Baiocco, Laghi, Cacioppo, & Tafà, 2013;Cacioppo, Pace, & Zappulla, 2013;Wilkinson, 2004), and the formation of personal identity (Dunn, 2004). The communication skills acquired by young people through their experiences from their communication processes with their friends and what they learn afterwards have a determinant effect in the .000 Figure 1.…”

This study aims to develop a scale regarding the identification of the existing situation for the communication effectiveness in the friendship of students, who are in the last phase of their adolescence period. This scale that developed to identify the communicative effectiveness levels of adolescent science students in their friendships has been introduced as there is no other scientific scale in the literature. The scale was finalised with statistical analyses after administration to 504 students studied in the year of 2016-17. The final version of the scale has an internal consistency coefficient of .853 and a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.738. The scale consists of 37 items with a 5 point Likert scale.
