Doane's recent review of interaction studies of families with disturbed and nondisturbed adolescents enumerated a number of conclusions concerning relationships and family functioning in families with a disturbed adolescent. The present study used a questionnaire approach to test hypotheses based on these conclusions, hypotheses which were largely supported in the analyses. When a disturbed adolescent was involved, families evidenced less reciprocity of needs, had greater disagreement about parents' needs, greater disagreement about family-related issues, more marital dysfunction, more rigidity and less clarity about expectations, and less satisfaction and more anxiety on the part of the adolescents. That families with a disturbed adolescent were discriminably different from families without a disturbed adolescent is supportive of a family systems perspective to family functioning. Speculations of a causal nature are offered, with suggestions that future research be designed to take advantage of causal analysis procedures.
多恩最近对有问题青少年的家庭和正常青少年的家庭的互动研究进行了综述，列举了一些有关有问题青少年家庭中关系和家庭功能的结论。本研究采用问卷调查的方法，根据这些结论提出了假设，并在分析中得到了很大程度的支持。当涉及到一个有问题的青少年时，家庭在需求的互惠性方面表现出较少，在父母需求方面存在较大分歧，在与家庭相关的问题上存在较大分歧，婚姻功能障碍更多，对期望的僵化和不明确性更多，青少年的满意度更低，焦虑感更强。有问题青少年的家庭与没有问题青少年的家庭有明显的不同，这支持了家庭功能的系统观点。本文提出了一些因果性质的推测，并建议未来的研究设计利用因果分析程序。
