Data concerning the conflict areas between parents and their adolescent children were collected for 756 adolescents (10 to 14 years old). Conflict areas were measured using the 20-item Family Roles Inventory developed by Thornburg (1982). A chi-square was performed across age and sex for all subjects and items. Across all subjects the two most conflicting areas with both mother and father were home responsibilities and spending money. The third most conflicting area with mother was selecting clothes. The third most conflicting area with father was using the phone. Across all subjects the area of least conflict with mother and father was watching television. As the literature suggests, conflict areas with mother are of a more personal nature, whereas conflict areas with father are more reality oriented. Despite these differences, conflict with mother is more prevalent than with father, especially with females.
收集了756名青少年（10至14岁）关于父母与他们青春期子女之间冲突领域的数据。冲突领域采用桑伯格（1982年）编制的包含20个条目的家庭角色量表进行测量。对所有受试者和条目进行了年龄和性别的卡方检验。在所有受试者中，与母亲和父亲冲突最大的两个领域是家务责任和花钱。与母亲冲突排第三的领域是挑选衣服。与父亲冲突排第三的领域是使用电话。在所有受试者中，与母亲和父亲冲突最小的领域是看电视。正如文献所表明的，与母亲的冲突领域更具个人性质，而与父亲的冲突领域更注重现实。尽管存在这些差异，但与母亲的冲突比与父亲的冲突更普遍，尤其是在女性中。
