Middle-Class African American Adolescents' and Parents' Conceptions of Parental Authority and Parenting Practices: A Longitudinal Investigation.
Smetana, Judith G.
Child Development, v71 n6 p1672-86 Nov-Dec 2000
Examined longitudinally conceptions of parental authority and ratings of parental rules and decision-making among middle- class African American adolescents and their parents. Found that nearly all subjects affirmed parents' legitimate authority to regulate and children's obligation to comply regarding oral, conventional, prudential, friendship, and multifaceted issues, but were equivocal regarding personal issues. Age and family income mediated adolescents' views. (Author/KB)
