19 名 14-17 岁的墨西哥裔美国高中生参与了关于墨西哥裔美国青少年与父母建立良好关系意味着什么的焦点小组访谈，探讨了他们对良好父母与青少年关系的看法。使用扎根理论方法，回答中出现了五个一般主题，分别对应于开放的沟通、工具和情感支持、间接表达关怀、父母控制和重视的关系质量。两种性别都描述了与母亲和父亲的不同关系。与母亲的关系比与父亲的关系更密切、更开放，母亲被认为更加慈爱、宽容和情感上的支持，而父亲则倾向于通过提供工具和经济支持以及仅仅在场来间接表达关心。父母的教养、文化、性别和父母角色期望成为对父母行为的解释。讨论了理论、方法和实践的意义。
Perceptions of good parent-adolescent relationships were explored among 19 Mexican American high school students aged 14-17 who participated in focus group interviews on what it means for Mexican American teenagers to have good relationships with parents. Using a grounded theory approach, five general themes emerged in the responses, corresponding to open communication, instrumental and emotional support, indirect expressions of caring, parental control, and valued relationship qualities. Both genders described distinct relationships with mothers and fathers. Relationships with mothers were closer and more open than relationships with fathers, and mothers were seen as being more affectionate, lenient, and emotionally supportive, whereas fathers tended to express caring indirectly by providing instrumental and financial support and by just being there. Parental upbringing, culture, gender, and parental role expectations emerged as explanations for parents' behavior. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications are discussed.
