How would my teenager rate our conversations about internet use compared with my own rating?
Parallel questionnaires allow the researchers to compare adults’ ratings of communication with adolescents’ own ratings.
Who was studied?
Eight hundred and twenty-four Japanese high school students and their biological parents.
Age / stage: Ages 15–20
Read with three questions
- How often did parent and student perceptions agree about an internet conversation?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- How would my teenager rate our conversations about internet use compared with my own rating?
