Silverberg, Susan B.; Steinberg, Laurence – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1987
This study examines whether parents' reports of well-being are related to the level of parent-adolescent conflict in the family and their youngsters' level of emotional autonomy. Findings indicate the parents' experience of midlife identity concerns is positively related to the level of emotional autonomy reported by same-sex children. (Author/LMO)
