Adolescent social competence, parental qualities, and parental satisfaction. 1995

Department of Family Relations and Child Development, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, USA.

Dimensions of adolescent social competence and parental qualities were examined as predictors of parental satisfaction using a sample of 736 parents. Several aspects of adolescent social competence and parental qualities were found to predict parental satisfaction. Of these, parental support was the strongest predictor, while the use of induction (rational control) was related only to fathers' well-being. Perceptions of adolescent social competence evidenced some differences between mothers and fathers in parental satisfaction. Implications for intervention strategies are discussed.
