Samenvatting

Om te onderzoeken waarom conflicten tussen adolescenten en hun ouders soms wel maar soms niet samenhangen met problematische psychosociale aanpassing van adolescenten, werd de modererende rol van conflictoplossing op deze samenhang onderzocht. Respondenten waren 1.313 Nederlandse jongeren in de vroege en middenadolescentie (12 en 17 jr.), die vragenlijsten invulden over hun conflicten en conflictoplossing met vader en moeder en verschillende aanpassingsproblemen. Vijf typen adolescenten konden worden onderscheiden die gekenmerkt waren door verschillende patronen van conflictoplossing. Deze typen verschilden betekenisvol van elkaar in conflicten met ouders en in aanpassingsproblemen. Bovendien waren conflicten sterker gerelateerd met externaliserend probleemgedrag voor een type dat gekenmerkt werd door terugtrekken en laag positief probleemoplossen en sterker gerelateerd aan internaliserend probleemgedrag voor een type dat voornamelijk negatieve manieren gebruikte om conflicten met ouders op te lossen.

To investigate why some parent-adolescent conflicts are related to adolescent adjustment and others are not, the moderating role of conflict resolution in this relation was examined. Participants were 1.313 Dutch adolescents, who completed measures on conflicts and conflict resolution with father and mother and adjustment problems. Five types of adolescents could be distinguished that were characterized by different patterns of conflict resolution. These types meaningfully differed in conflicts with parents and adjustment problems. Furthermore, conflicts were stronger related to externalizing problems for a type characterized by with­drawal and low positive problem solving, and were stronger related to internalizing problems for a type that mainly used negative ways to resolve conflicts.
