Parent-peer compliance in a group of preadolescent youths.

Full Abstract

Two hundred and seventy-two preadolescent males and females aged 9-11 were administered a paper and pencil questionnaire designed to assess their degree of parent-peer compliance. On a majority of the items, youths in this age group were clearly parent compliant. There was, however, a significant age trend in the direction of peer compliance, with males demonstrating the greatest degree of change. Results are discussed in terms of their relationship to the previous literature.
