Description

<p>This study analyzed differences between adolescents' and mothers' conceptions of parental authority, and assessed the relationships among the discrepancies of adolescents' and mothers' conceptions of parental authority, mother-adolescent conflicts, and adolescents' well-being. Participants were 287 adolescents and their mothers. The research examined their conceptions of parental authority (legitimacy of parental authority, rule obligation), adolescents' perceptions of mother-adolescent conflicts (quantity of issues, intensity of issues) and well-being (depression, anxiety, self-esteem). The results showed the following: (1) adolescents reported lower scores of conceptions of parental authority than did mothers; (2) adolescents at upper grade levels reported lower scores of conceptions of parental authority than did adolescents at lower grade levels; (3) females reported higher levels of mother-adolescent conflicts than did males; and (4) discrepancies between adolescents' and mothers' conceptions of parental authority negatively affected mother-adolescent conflicts, and in turn, mother-adolescent conflicts negatively affected adolescents' well-being.</p>
