Two hundred fifty-eight middle school children and their parents attended communication skills training sessions for 6 weeks. Measures of satisfaction with the family system and communication of this group were compared with those of 201 young adolescents and parents who did not attend the sessions. Young adolescents, mothers, and fathers who were trained in communication skills reported increased satisfaction with the family system and open communication immediately and 6 months after training. Young adolescents who were not trained became increasingly dissatisfied with the family system. A subsample of families were observed resolving conflicts. Fathers and young adolescents who were in training used less antisocial and negative problem-solving techniques than those who were not trained. The authors cautiously recommend communication skill training as a "rite of passage" for families with young adolescents.
258名中学生及其家长参加了为期6周的沟通技巧培训课程。将该组对家庭系统和沟通的满意度测量结果与201名未参加培训课程的青少年及其家长的测量结果进行了比较。接受沟通技巧培训的青少年、母亲和父亲报告称，在培训后立即以及6个月后，他们对家庭系统和开放沟通的满意度有所提高。未接受培训的青少年对家庭系统的不满情绪日益增加。对一个家庭子样本进行了冲突解决观察。接受培训的父亲和青少年比未接受培训的人使用的反社会和消极解决问题技巧更少。作者谨慎地建议将沟通技巧培训作为有青少年家庭的“成长仪式”。
