Adolescents and their parents’ control strategies

Abstract

The results gathered in a study of interactions of parental control strategies and major features of social adaptation of 14–15-year-olds are presented. The study involved students in eighth and ninth grade at three schools in Sofi a (n=141) and their parents (n=128). The results show that children’s spontaneous disclosure of information and reciprocal relationships parents – children are linked to good adaptation. The children’s feelings of being overcontrolled negatively affect different characteristics of adaptation.
