Parental Autonomy Granting during Adolescence: Exploring Gender Differences in Context.
Bumpus, Matthew F.; Crouter, Ann C.; McHale, Susan M.
Developmental Psychology, v37 n2 p163-73 Mar 2001
Investigated ways in which indicators of parental autonomy granting (decision-making input and parental knowledge of adolescents' daily experiences) differed as a function of context and personal qualities. Found that firstborns were granted more autonomy than second borns, especially in families with firstborn girls and second-born boys. Girls in families with traditional gender role attitudes were granted fewer autonomy opportunities. (Author/KB)
