“…Moreover, since Japanese children are socialized to understand parents' unstated wishes, confrontation in the Japanese family is assumed to be rare. However, several studies in Japan have shown that with increasing age, Japanese adolescents become less dependent on their parents (Ochiai & Sato, 1996;Okamoto & Uechi, 1999), and more assertive in these relationships (Watanabe, 1994). In addition, adolescent-parent relationships are more equal during late adolescence (Ochiai & Sato, 1996;Okamoto & Uechi, 1999).…”

“…However, several studies in Japan have shown that with increasing age, Japanese adolescents become less dependent on their parents (Ochiai & Sato, 1996;Okamoto & Uechi, 1999), and more assertive in these relationships (Watanabe, 1994). In addition, adolescent-parent relationships are more equal during late adolescence (Ochiai & Sato, 1996;Okamoto & Uechi, 1999). Based on these findings, adolescents would be expected to be less compliant and to assert themselves or negotiate with their parents in disagreements as they become more independent.…”

“…The decrease in reported compliance may reflect that there are fewer areas of parental constraints, as adolescents become independent from parental authority and believe more areas of their lives should come under personal jurisdiction (Laursen & Collins, 1994;Smetana, 1989;Steinberg, 1990). Although Japanese culture emphasizes interdependence, Japanese adolescents become more autonomous in their relationships with parents with increasing age, as several Japanese studies have suggested (Ochiai & Sato, 1996;Okamoto & Uechi, 1999;Watanabe, 1994). Furthermore, negotiation was the most commonly reported action among adolescents in the oldest age group regardless of the seriousness of situations.…”

This study examined the ways in which Japanese adolescents handle disagreements with parents, and the extent to which the cultural values of emotional bonds within the family predict adolescents' reported handling of disagreements. Adolescents ( N = 1029), aged 12 to 25 years, reported their projected actions in response to six hypothetical adolescent—parent disagreements, and completed a scale of values of emotional bonds in the family. As hypothesized, self-assertion was the most common action, followed by negotiation and compliance. Although generally self-assertion and negotiation were higher and compliance lower with increasing age, adolescents' actions also varied depending on the situation. The values of emotional bonds predicted adolescents' reported handling of disagreements, as examined using structural equation modeling. Implications of these findings for the adolescent—parent relationship and adolescent development in Japanese cultural contexts are discussed.

Background: Although communication skills can lead to family resources, the association between communication skills in adolescents and family resources remains to be examined multi-dimensionally. Therefore, we examined whether family resources are predicted by six categories of communication skills. Further, we examined the moderating effect of encoding skills and commitment to family in the association between decoding skills and family resources. Method: One hundred forty university students completed several questionnaires assessing communication skills, family resources, and commitment to family. Results: Results indicated that expressivity in communication skills positively predicted cohesion and trust in family strength, and regulation of interpersonal relationships negatively predicted balance between individual family members and the family system. Additionally, analysis showed that commitment to family moderated relationships between “deciphering ability” and trust in family strength in family resources. The hypothesis that trust in family strength is negatively predicted by deciphering ability among those low in commitment to family is supported. Discussion: It can be effective in clinical support to help individuals express feelings and needs to enhance family resources needed to bounce back from a crisis. However, in individuals low in commitment to family, when a practitioner helps individuals with high deciphering ability enhance their commitment to family, it is important to help prevent negative family relationships caused by experiencing mental burdens generated by family dynamics.
