Personal Well-being and Interpersonal Communication of 12–16 Year-Old Girls and Their Own Mothers: Gender and Intergenerational Issues

Perceptions and evaluations of a paired sample of girls aged 12–16 and their own mothers (N = 358) are analysed in relation to interactions, interpersonal communication and personal well-being related variables. The frequency with which adolescents and mothers share different daily activities is explored, as well as the frequency they talk about different topics (such as television, free time, sports, and family) with each other.
