“…These effects can be a result of parents’ impaired memory and attention, emotional dysregulation and the fact that parents’ time and resources have been directed away from their children and toward activities related to securing, consuming and recovering from alcohol use. These results were expected based on previous research in developed countries (Anderson et al, 2013). …”

“…Balanced family cohesion and flexibility represent other basic family systems processes frequently associated with better psychosocial functioning of the parents and higher quality of parent-child interactions (Anderson et al, 2013; Huth-Bocks & Hughes, 2008). A balanced cohesion exists in families where members are neither overly enmeshed nor disengaged in relationships with each other while families with a balanced flexibility have a healthy “amount of change in its leadership, role relationships, and relationship rules” (Olson, Russell, & Sprenkle, 1983, p. 519).…”

The present study aimed to estimate the use of positive and negative parenting practices in Ukraine and explore relationships between parenting practices, intimate partner violence (IPV), alcohol use, and sociodemographics. Parents of children (N=320) ages 9–16 from three Ukrainian regions answered questions from the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ), the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-R), Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES), and the Alcohol Use Section of the Drinking and Drug History and Current Use Patterns questionnaire. Ukrainian parents who reported lower use of alcohol, balanced family functioning and lower intimate partner violence were more likely to use positive parenting and less likely to use negative parenting practices. Parents with lower education were more likely to use negative parenting practices. Furthermore, alcohol use, IPV, parent education and higher family income were significantly and indirectly related with positive and negative parenting scores. The model explained 61% of variance in the positive parenting, 67% in the negative parenting.

“…Family systems and subsystems are maintained by internal and external boundaries that define the systems and mark their interfaces (Anderson et al., 2013). External boundaries determine the flow of information between the family and the external world, while internal boundaries represent how subsystems interact with each other and indicate the degree of autonomy that can be permitted among members of a family.…”

Using an interactional perspective to examine patterns of conflict resolution among Chinese adolescents and parents involved in schoolwork conflicts

Parent-child conflict resolution is an interactive process by nature. Adopting a family systems perspective, the present study examines patterns of schoolwork conflict resolution among Chinese adolescents and parents, placing an emphasis on parent-child interactions. Qualitative methods using a grounded theory approach are adopted, with twelve parent-child dyads participating in joint interviews and follow-up individual interviews. Three patterns of adolescent-parent resolution of schoolwork conflicts are identified: (a) adolescents complying with parental coercion reluctantly: parents use parent-centered resolution strategies, while adolescents are self-assertive in the beginning but yield to their parents in the end; (b) effective communication: adolescents adopt self-assertive strategies when parents use child-centered strategies, with the outcome being that adolescents have the final say in agreements reached; (c) disagreement in a stalemate: parents’ use of parent-centered strategies and adolescents’ adoption of avoidant and self-assertive strategies lead to a suspension of disagreement. Discussion of the findings sheds light on hierarchical and enmeshed parent-child relationships in China as well as Chinese adolescents’ development of autonomy as exhibited in the patterns of parent-child schoolwork conflict resolution. Suggestions are made for further study of adolescent-parent schoolwork conflicts in Chinese families, and practical implications related to healthy family relationships are discussed.
