How Latino American and European American Adolescents Discuss Conflicts, Sexuality, and AIDS with Their Mothers.
Lefkowitz, Eva S.; Romo, Laura F.; Corona, Rosalie; Au, Terry Kit-fong; Sigman, Marian
Developmental Psychology, v36 n3 p315-25 May 2000
Examined individual, ethnic, and age differences in structure of mother-adolescent conversations. Found Latin American mothers dominated conversations more than European Americans; mothers dominated conversations about sexuality/AIDS more than conversations about conflicts; older adolescents reported less satisfaction, less openness, and more sexual discussions with persons other than mothers than younger adolescents; and mother domination related to lower adolescent AIDS knowledge.
