How might difficulties communicating at home show up in a teenager's account of life online?
The researchers connect problematic family communication with online behavior through a model of psychosocial adjustment. The evidence concerns associations among reported experiences.
Who was studied?
8,115 adolescents contributing reports about family communication and cyberbullying.
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- Which alternative explanations fit the same pattern of questionnaire responses?
- Which measures came from the same participant, and which had an independent source?
- How does the study distinguish one family member’s report from a shared account?
Keep the limits in view
A cross-sectional account measures variables in the same period. It cannot establish which came first; participants reporting more than one measure may also introduce shared reporting bias.
