Family Structure and Parent-Adolescent Relationships: Does Family Structure Really Make a Difference?

Bell, Nancy J.; Avery, Arthur W.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v47 n2 p503-08 May 1985

Surveyed older adolescents (N=2,313) to examine the effects of family size, birth order, and sibling spacing and gender upon perceptions of parent-adolescent relationships. Using the analysis of techniques of past studies, significant associations were found for family size, birth order, and spacing, although the effect sizes were quite small. (Author/BH)
