Skewed Autonomy-Relatedness in Preadolescents' Conceptions of Their Relationships with Mother, Father, and Best Friend.
Hodges, Ernest V. E.; Finnegan, Regina A.; Perry, David G.
Developmental Psychology, v35 n3 p737-48 May 1999
Examined the balance between connectedness to, and independence from, mother, father, and best friend in 9- to 14-year olds. Found that children reporting a preoccupied or avoidant stance toward their mother displayed increased social impairment in the peer group over time. Stances toward mother, father, and best friend were related. Children resembled their best friend in relationship stance. (Author/KB)
