本研究的目的是比较母亲和父亲直接参与青春期女孩和男孩的同伴关系，并检查父母的参与和青少年的友谊和同伴经验的质量之间的联系。参与者是187个工人和中产阶级家庭的母亲、父亲和第一个出生的青少年（平均年龄= 15岁）。数据收集在家访和一系列的七个夜间电话采访。父母的直接参与是通过父母对他们的同伴活动的报告、父母对青少年同伴经历的了解以及父母与青少年及其同伴相处的时间来衡量的。研究结果显示，母亲比父亲更了解青少年的同伴关系，有女儿的母亲报告了最面向同伴的活动，母亲和父亲都花了更多的时间与同性青少年和他们的同龄人。父母的直接参与与女孩和男孩的同伴经历有不同的关系。讨论强调了父母和青少年的性别在塑造青少年家庭生活这一层面中的作用。
The goals of this study, were to compare mothers' and fathers' direct involvement in adolescent girls' versus boys' peer relationships and to examine the links between parents' involvement and the qualities of adolescents' friendship and peer experiences. Participants were mothers, fathers, and firstborn adolescents (mean age = 15 years) in 187 working- and middle-class families. Data were collected during home visits and a series of seven nightly telephone interviews. Parents' direct involvement was measured by parents' reports of their peer-oriented activities, parents' knowledge about adolescents' peer experiences, and parents' time spent with adolescents and their peers. Findings revealed that mothers were more knowledgeable about adolescents' peer relationships than were fathers, that mothers with daughters reported the most peer-oriented activities, and that both mothers and fathers spent more time with same-sex adolescents and their peers. Parents' direct involvement was differentially related to girls' versus boys' peer experiences. Discussion highlights the role of parents' and adolescents' gender in shaping this dimension of family life in adolescence.
