Does Parent-Adolescent Conflict Increase in Early Adolescence?

Galambos, Nancy L.; Almeida, David M.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v54 n4 p737-47 Nov 1992

Assessed family perceptions of parent-adolescent conflict four times from grade six to summer following grade eight. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents from 80 families reported on parent-adolescent conflict. Conflict over chores, appearance, and politeness decreased over 2.5 years whereas conflict over finances increased. Substance-use conflict remained at relatively low levels across early adolescence.
