“…In addition, parents' educational levels influence SPS factors differently: mothers' education has an effect on NPO and ICS, whereas fathers' education has an impact on RPS in all groups. Castan, Gallois, and Callan (1985) obtained similar results in connection with MEL. This, however, is not to say that the functioning of SPS is a direct function of the parents' educational level.…”

The aims of the longitudinal study were to investigate the development of social problem solving (SPS) among adolescents (N ¼ 180) in Hungary, to describe the nature of correlations between the raters' judgements (child, mother, teacher) and to examine what the correlations are between SPS factors and family background. At the beginning of the study students were 12-year-olds and they were 14 at the last time of measurement. The questionnaire of SPS was adapted [SPSI-R:S, D'Zurilla, T. J., Nezu, A., & Maydeu-Olivares, A. (2002). Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R): Technical manual. North Tonawanda, NY: MultiHealth Systems]. The factors were the following: negative and positive problem orientation (NPO, PPO, respectively), rational problem solving (RPS), impulsivity/ carelessness style (ICS) and avoidance style (AS). Based on self-assessment, NPO, RPS, ICS and ACS show increasing tendency with age; however, in the case of PPO, significant age differences have not been found. The mothers' ratings are the same in the case of NPO, PPO and RPS, but they think that their 12-year-olds show lower impulsivity and avoidance than their children of 13 and 14 years. According to the teachers' rating, NPO, RPS and AS show increasing tendency; however, the values of ICS and PPO decrease with age. Correlations between children's and mothers' ratings are strongest, and the most divergent evaluations were given by teachers and mothers. Parents' educational levels influence the SPS factors differently: mothers' educational level has an effect on NPO and ICS; fathers' educational level has an impact on RPS in all years. The effects of free-time activities in family are stronger than those of the time spent learning with children in all years.

Doctor-patient relationship is considered to be a special relationship and a keystone of medical care. A fundamental factor in this sort of relationship is the communication, which is strictly examined between the two involving parts, without taking into consideration in the case of children and teenagers the possible influence of their parents. The mothers more often accompany their children to the doctor and they become a third part of the doctor-patient relationship. In Greece during February-May 2013, 196 mothers and their teenage children (suffering from acute or chronic illnesses) completed two questionnaires: the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and a series of questions on a Likert scale from the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) about the experienced satisfaction with the characteristics of this communication. In Bulgaria during July-August 2013, 60 mothers and their children completed the same questionnaires. The results revealed an unexpected finding only for the Greek sample -the quality of relationship between doctor and patient (for both Greek mothers and adolescents) was negatively associated with their scores on CES-D (i.e. low level of depression together with low satisfaction derived from the relationship with the doctor), while no differences were found between the participants' groups (mothers, children, acute or chronic disease). This surprising finding of high depression-high satisfaction was not found in the Bulgarian sample and therefore needs further investigation.
