This paper examines the influence of parent-adolescent intimacy on adolescent functioning. Intimacy for both adolescent males and females was assessed in relation to their mothers and fathers. Adolescent development was measured using two scales: self-esteem and problem behavior. No significant differences were found between males and females on the measures of self-esteem, problem behavior, and intimacy. However, mothers were found to share greater degrees of intimacy than did fathers for both male and female adolescents. A regression analysis revealed that father intimacy was a better predictor of positive adolescent functioning than was mother intimacy.
本文探讨了亲子亲密关系对青少年机能的影响。研究评估了青少年男性和女性与母亲及父亲之间的亲密程度。采用自尊和问题行为两个量表来衡量青少年的发展。在自尊、问题行为和亲密程度的测量上，男性和女性之间未发现显著差异。然而，研究发现，无论是男性还是女性青少年，母亲与他们分享的亲密程度都高于父亲。回归分析表明，父亲的亲密程度比母亲的亲密程度更能有效预测青少年的积极机能。
