Conflictive Engagement, Positive Affect, and Menarche in Families with Seventh-Grade Girls.
Holmbeck, Grayson N.; Hill, John P.
Child Development, v62 n5 p1030-48 Oct 1991
Each of 111 families with seventh grade daughters was observed in a family interaction task. Results indicated that conflict with parents, and especially with the mother, was more frequent shortly after menarche than at other times. Withdrawal of positive affect was associated with menarcheal status. (BC)
