Family Acceptance and Family Control as Predictors of Adjustment in Young Adolescents: Linear, Curvilinear, or Interactive Effects?

Kurdek, Lawrence A.; Fine, Mark A.

Child Development, v65 n4 p1137-46 Aug 1994

Assessed the relationship between social adjustment and perceptions of both family acceptance and family control in two samples of young adolescents. One group completed, among other measures, self-reports of psychosocial competence and self-regulation, whereas the second group completed peer ratings of likability. In both samples, family acceptance and family control were positively related to adjustment. (MDM)
