Parent-Child Relationships in Early Adolescence: Effects of Family Structure.

Richardson, Rhonda A.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v48 n4 p805-11 Nov 1986

Used interview data from 96 eighth graders from intact families with at least two children to examine effects of family size, sibling spacing, and gender on young adolescents' relationships with their parents. Results revealed that mother-child relationships in early adolescence were influenced by child's gender, while adolescents' relationships with their father were a function of sibling spacing.
