Families and Adolescent Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter focuses on several family and social–psychological processes (i.e., parent behaviors, parent–adolescent conflict, and interparental or marital conflict) that predict the development of adolescent social competence and problem behavior. An emphasis of this chapter is the importance of cultural values and family structural variation (i.e., divorce, remarriage, and the presence of siblings) that may contribute to social, psychological, and family process changes and, in turn, foster or inhibit social competence or problem behavior. A concluding theme is that parenting within families that fosters social competence provides adolescents with resilience and coping abilities that function as natural forms of everyday prevention.
