Do Mothers Know Their Teenagers' Friends? Implications for Individuation in Early Adolescence.

Feiring, Candice; Lewis, Michael

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v22 n4 p337-54 Aug 1993

Information on friends at 9 and 13 years, individual and family characteristics at 13 years, and substance use at 15 years was provided by 110 adolescents and their mothers. Results suggest that agreement about the friendship network is a potentially important process for defining how adolescents and parents maintain connectedness. (SLD)
