Changes in Adolescents: Daily Interactions with Their Families from Ages 10 to 18: Disengagement and Transformation.

Larson, Reed W.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v32 n4 p744-54 Jul 1996

Examined the quantity and quality of contact in adolescents' everyday family interactions such as after school, at supper, or when family members do the weekend chores. Found that, with increasing age, there is both disengagement and transformation in these kinds of interactions. However, this decline appeared to be related more to increasing outside involvement than to family factors. (AA)
