Adolescents' Interaction with Parents and Friends: Dialectics of Temporal Perspective and Evaluation

This research investigated the management of interaction with parents and friends as described by thirty-two high school juniors in open-ended interviews. An interpretive analysis of the respondents' remarks identified two dialectical principles informing their decisions to talk with parents and/or friends. The dialectic of historical perspective and contemporary experience regards opposing temporal orientations by parents and friends towards adolescent activities. The dialectic of judgement and acceptance involves polar evaluative tendencies demonstrated by parents and friends that were mediated by perceptions of caring. A qualitative ordering of hypotheses concerning the interplay of these principles is presented and implications are discussed.
