Estrategias de socialización de los padres y conflictos entre padres e hijos en la adolescencia

This study aims to analyse whether there is a relation between parents' socialization strategies and conflicts between parents and children during adolescence. The variables were assessed by the Warmth Scale (EA), the Rules/Demands Scale (ENE) and a series of questions on issues which provoke conflict between parents and adolescents. The questionnaires were completed by a total of 402 adolescents (aged between 12 and 17) and by 258 parents. Both parents' and adolescents' opinions showed that parents who express affection (express affection/communication and do not criticize/reject) and are inductive (only in the case of mothers) have fewer conflicts with their children during adolescence.
