Patterns of relationship regulation: German and French adolescents' perceptions with regard to their mothers

Intergenerational value transmission within the family and the role of emotional relationship quality

“…We propose a tentative explanation for this -seemingly contradictorypattern: Given that adolescents'/emerging adults' willingness to be similar is enhanced by worry emotions, actual differences in their value orientations, in particular from the moral and conventional domain, may give rise again to adolescents'/emerging adults' emotions of worry. Difficulties to balance needs of autonomy (exploration of new ideas and values) and relatedness toward mothers in the individuation process could be involved here (see also Albert, Trommsdorff, & Sabatier, 2011). Also, mothers might use specific emotions to transmit values that prescribe social rules of behavior and social harmony.…”

“No Dejes tus Valores en Casa”: Un Estudio Sobre los Valores de Adultos Emergentes Italianos y sus Padres

“…Conflict elicits negative emotional reactions (Knafo & Schwartz, 2003), which may reduce motivation to pay attention to parents' or partner's values and undermine the ability to perceive them accurately. By contrast, admiration and satisfaction, reflecting approval from and relatedness to the parent/partners (Albert, Trommsdorff, & Sabatier, 2011), may support the sharing of values. Through dominance analysis (DA; Azen & Budescu, 2003;Budescu, 1993), it was intended to disentangle the relative contribution of father-child relationship and mother-child relationship dimensions, as reported by emerging adults and parents, in predicting child-parent value similarity and the relative contribution of couple relationship dimensions, as reported by husbands and wives, in predicting father-mother value similarity.…”

“…In this line, emerging adulthood is often described by processes of negotiation between parents and offspring in order to ensure children's independence and acquisition of responsibility (Arnett, 2000(Arnett, , 2006. In this progressive acceptance of responsibility, studies have highlighted the strong relation between, first, parents' effort to transmit values and the possibility for emerging adults to internalize them and, second, the development in young people themselves of a positive attitude toward the social sphere (e.g., Scabini, Marta, & Lanz, 2006).…”

Satisfaction of Basic Needs and its Repercussion in the Course of Development

“…In an analysis of relationship patterns between adolescents and their mothers, it was observed that in the group with the strongest separation between mothers and children, there were higher levels of conflict, and lower levels of intimacy and perception of admiration (Albert, Trommsdorff, & Sabatier, 2011). Moreover, at this stage parental involvement and support for autonomy are predictors of better school performance (Wong, 2008).…”
