Adolescents' and Mothers' Evaluations of Justifications for Conflicts.

Smetana, Judith G.

New Directions for Child Development, n51 p71-86 Spr 1991

Used vignettes and self-reports to examine adolescents' and mothers' reasoning about family conflicts. Found that mothers and adolescents differentially evaluated reasons for parental requests and adolescent noncompliance. They also differed in their judgments of the likelihood of particular justifications succeeding or leading to conflict. (BC)
