Turkish and U.S. adolescents' views concerning the importance of different needs and instrumentality of relationships with mothers, fathers, siblings, and same-sex friends for need satisfaction were examined and compared. Questionnaires covered needs related to crucial issues of adolescence, namely, relatedness and autonomy/individuation. Participants were 12- to 17-year-old boys and girls from intact families. Cross-cultural differences in ascribed importance of needs related to some aspects of relatedness and autonomy/individuation emerged. Cross-cultural similarities in ascribed importance of needs related to feelings of basic acceptance and need for self-understanding/development also emerged. Turkish adolescents perceived mothers as more instrumental for need satisfaction than did U.S. adolescents. Gender differences in importance ascribed to different needs also emerged. Cross-cultural differences were consistent with differences in predominant values and model family dynamics of the respective countries.
研究并比较了土耳其和美国青少年对于不同需求的重要性以及与母亲、父亲、兄弟姐妹和同性朋友的关系对需求满足的工具性的看法。问卷涵盖了与青少年关键问题相关的需求，即亲密关系和自主性/个性化。参与者为来自完整家庭的12至17岁的男孩和女孩。在与亲密关系和自主性/个性化某些方面相关的需求的重要性归因上出现了跨文化差异。在与基本接纳感和自我理解/发展需求相关的需求的重要性归因上也出现了跨文化相似性。土耳其青少年比美国青少年更认为母亲对需求满足具有工具性。在赋予不同需求的重要性方面也出现了性别差异。跨文化差异与各自国家占主导地位的价值观和典型家庭动态的差异相一致。
