How does being asked for information differ from choosing to confide in a parent?

Trust is directly measured alongside communication and monitoring, inviting readers to separate those everyday experiences.

Who was studied?

Chinese adolescents reporting on monitoring, communication and trust in their parents

Age / stage: Adolescence

Read with three questions

  1. How does being asked for information differ from choosing to confide in a parent?
  2. Whose observations or reports were used, and what competing explanations are compatible with them?
  3. Which features of the study population (chinese adolescents reporting on monitoring, communication and trust in their parents) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?

Keep the limits in view

Teenagers reported parental control, communication and trust at the same time. Greater trust might encourage disclosure, just as communication may influence trust.
