Measure

Family communication: easy communication with mother

Jump to data

The ability to discuss personal concerns with mothers is a vital aspect of adolescent emotional development and family functioning. This measure examines the ease with which young people can confide in their mothers about matters that trouble them, offering insights into the strength and quality of these crucial relationships. Understanding mother-child communication patterns can help identify barriers to open dialogue and inform approaches to fostering supportive family environments.
