- Farnsworth, M. L., & O’Neal, C. W. (2021). Military stressors, parent-adolescent relationship quality, and adolescent adjustment. Journal of Child and Family Studies, 30, 2718-2731. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10826-021-02106-y
- This study examined the associations between military stressors (e.g., combat deployments), parent-adolescent relationship quality with active-duty and civilian parents, and adolescent adjustment (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms, self-efficacy, and personal well-being). Additionally, parent-adolescent relationship quality was examined as a linking mechanism between military stressors and adolescent adjustment. Data were collected from 265 Army families that included an active-duty parent, a civilian parent, and an adolescent. There was some evidence that military stressors were linked to parentadolescent relationship quality. Parent-adolescent relationship quality was consistently linked to adolescent adjustment.
