Drawing from Kerr and Stattin’s insight that most of what parents know about their adolescent’s relationships with peers comes from what the adolescent tells them, member of my research lab and I have concentrated on parent-child communication processes that link family and peer worlds. We are investigating parents’ and adolescents’ opinions about what parents have a right to know about the child’s interactions with peers and how these opinions shape parent-child interactions around peer-related issues. We are especially interested in the way that ethnic or cultural norms frame opinions about the right to know, and how immigrant youth negotiate the differing expectations of family and host cultures. Integrating principles from theories of autonomy development and dynamic systems theory, we study the transformation of parent-child relations and interaction patterns as youth negotiate peer relations within the context of parental expectations and family obligations.

Nan Crouter - Penn State University |
PIAPER Research Interests |
Two longitudinal studies, funded by NICHD and co-directed with Susan McHale, under the umbrella of the Penn State Family Relationships Project:
-- A 10-year study of European American, dual-earner families (mothers, fathers, and two youth)
-- A 3-year study (in progress) of African American families (mothers, fathers, and two youth)
The JUNTOS Project, a cross-sectional study, funded by NICHD and led by Kim Updegraff (Arizona State University), of Mexican American families (mothers, fathers, and two youth)
In these projects, the thread that is most related to PIAPER and of particular interest to me has to do with parents' knowledge of their offspring's daily experiences (activities, whereabouts, and companions), including the sources of their knowledge.

I am currently engaged in both qualitative and quantitative work focusing on the ways in which parents manage their children's friendships during middle childhood (grades 3-5)and across the transition to middle school (grades 6-8). Of particular interest to me are the relationships parents form with the parents of their children's friends (closure relationships) and the manner in which such relationships are used as a source of information and support in the management of children's friendships.

Robert D. Laird - Louisiana State University |
PIAPER Research Interests |
In 2006, I will begin data collection on a 3-year longitudinal study of parent-child relationship as children become adolescents. The study is funded by the National Science Foundation and will attempt to answer two questions.
1. How are parent-child and family relationships changed or transformed as children become adolescents?
Parent-adolescent relationships are different than parent-child relationships in many ways, but it is unclear when and how the relationships change.
2. Why do parents parent the way they do?
The study will focus on whether and how parents keep track of their teenagers’ friends and activities. There are numerous factors that influence the way parents interact with their children and adolescents, but this study will be one of the first to focus specifically on how teenagers influence the way their parents treat them.
The project will help to identify families who are likely to experience difficulties during the transition to adolescence, barriers to more effective parenting, and strategies that may be used to improve parenting as children become adolescents.

A particular focus of mine over the past several years has been parents’ involvement in and importance to adolescents’ friendships. I have been involved in four data collection efforts in an attempt to more fully explore this relational link. One manuscript focuses on the longitudinal implications of parents’ involvement in early-adolescents’ peer relationships as predictors of the adolescents’ friendship quality and their later psychosocial well-being.
The second study on this topic is a result of measures about friendship quality and parents’ involvement in adolescents’ peer relationships included in a larger longitudinal study conducted by Dr. Brian Barber. The paper from this study addresses the significance of parents’ less supervisory forms of involvement in adolescents’ friendships to the quality of those friendships.
The third study on this topic is a qualitative examination I conducted with several students addressing parents’ involvement in early-adolescents’ (13 to 15 years old) peer relationships. We interviewed 40 adolescents and their parents about the changing nature of the parents’ involvement in adolescents’ lives general, and in their peer relationships specifically. Through a mapping of the transcribed interviews from this study we have identified several distinct parent involvement styles and parent-peer interaction models.
My fourth study is also one that I conducted with several students and focuses on the importance of early-adolescents’ relationships with their parents and their resulting expectations about non-familiar relationships (internal attachment styles) to their peer crowd identification, their connectedness within their most significant peer cliques, and the quality of their best friendships.

PIAPER Research Interests |
I am interested in parental management of peer relationships and dating for early and middle adolescents. I am also interested in these issues across ethnic groups. Currently, I am examining management of early adolescents' peers in three ethnic groups (African-American, Latino, and White)using qualititative and quantitative methodologies. I am interested in general management as well as precursors to management across the three groups. In particular, I am examining the way in which parental beliefs, parental goals in regard to peer relationships, and parental perceptions of adolescents' characteristics are related to management of adolescents' peer relationships.
I am also interested in management of peers around issues of ethnicity. I am interested in understanding the extent to which parents encourage and discourage relationships with same- versus cross-ethnic peers. My lab team and I are examining these issues with several measures. Some explicitly focus on peer management and ethnicity; others implicitly focus on peer management and ethnicity.

My work has focused on the characteristics and functions of parental monitoring across childhood and adolescence. The guiding framework is a developmental-transactional model in which constituents of parental monitoring, and qualities of the parent-child relationship more generally, interact with, affect, and are affected by, child dispositions and early behavior patterns, parental worries and motivations, and the broader social-ecological context of family life.

We are currently conducting several studies (using different methods and samples) of disclosure and nondisclosure in adolescent-parent relationships. We are interested in the types of issues (including peer, personal, and prudential) that adolescents choose to disclose or conceal, age differences in disclosure, and children's reasons for disclosing or keeping things secret. We are also interested in ethnic differences in these issues.

My research focuses primarily on the role of psychologically controlling or intrusive parenting in adolescents' development. As a part of this research line, I am also interested in the role of parental psychological control in relations between parental peer management and adolescents' interpersonal and behavioral development. More specifically, in our research group we are exploring the idea that, to the extent that peer management strategies are experienced as intrusive or psychologically controlling, they will yield less than optimal outcomes in terms of protection against problem behaviors (e.g., delinquency and affiliations with delinquent friends). This effect would occur because any peer management strategy that is experienced as intrusive or that is communicated in a controlling fashion most likely forestalls adolescents' internalization and full endorsement of parents' expectations and rules. A short-term longitudinal study with multiple informants on both
the parenting constructs and the adolescent outcomes is currently being conducted.

Kimberly Updegraff - Arizona State University |
PIAPER Research Interests |
My current work focuses on Mexican origin families raising adolescents. My interests are in the potentially different roles of mothers versus fathers in Mexican origin adolescents' peer relationships and in the role of culture in shaping parents' involvement with adolescents and their peers. I am currently examining within-culture variations in parents' involvement in peer relationships focusing on the role of parents' cultural backgrounds, orientations and values. Data are from an NICHD-funded study of family, cultural, and gender role socialization processes in Mexican American families.
