Towards a concept of parental authority in adolescenceKuhar, Metka (Avtor) Reiter, Herwig (Avtor) vzgojastaršiavtoritetamedosebni odnosimedosebne komunikacijemladostnikiadolescencaThe notion of authority is common in the literature on parent-child relationships. However, the notion of Žparental authorityʼ remains largely unspecified. The present article first critically reviews conceptualisations of parental authority in selected developmental-psychological approaches. We find the absence of an explicit and integrated theoretical and empirical conceptualisation of parental authority, as well as a certain lack of consistency in the application of the concept. Against the background of this review, we suggest initial steps towards a concept of parental authority as relational, dynamic and co-constituted in the sense of a joint product and outcome of family relationships.20132015-07-10 14:45:01Delo ni kategorizirano45536sl
