Parent-Adolescent Separation

Intrafamilial Perceptions and Difficulty Separating from Parents

Clemson University

This study examined interpersonal perception relating to adolescent home-leaving. It was expected that perceived discrepancies between adolescents and parents in the importance of several indicators of parent-adolescent separation would be related to self-reported difficulty leaving home. The results for 50 male and 55 female college freshmen generally supported the hypothesis. Perceptual discrepancies with regard to the importance of the home-leaving indicators labeled "residence " and "physical separation" revealed the strongest relationship to home-leaving difficulty. Perceptual discrepancies showed a stronger relationship to home-leaving difficulty for females than for males. The results suggest the importance of intrafamilial perceptions of parent-adolescent separation.
