Document Summary

**video about adolescent-parent relationships in different cultures. Parent-adolescent conflict is not typical in all cultures. Economic: family members have to rely on each other, and spend more time together while working. Cultural: cultural beliefs about parental authority, and when it"s appropriate for adolescents to have independence. European students are more likely to live with their parents than in north. Historical change: lower birth rate, longer life expectancy, movement from rural to urban residence. Change in the last 50 years: divorce rate, single-parent households, dual-earner families. Challenges in intimate relationships in emerging adulthood. Family process factors: exposure to conflict between parents, effects on parenting practices. Overt conflict is more harmful than covert conflict. Adolescents typically take a turn for the worse when their parents remarry. Why do adolescents respond negatively to remarriage: another disruption to the family system, divergent realities. Negative outcomes for adolescents in never-married, single-parent households. The effects of dual-earner families depend on the gender of the adolescent.
