Abstract

Two hundred (200) adolescents (56% females and 44% males) between the age range of 13-16 (66%) and 17-19 (34%) participated through a total enumeration technique. Expert content validation was done on issues checklist of salient issues of conflict between parents and adolescents with Chrobachs’ alpha reliability (r=0.71). Findings show that parental involvement in adolescents’ issues highly predicts parent and adolescents conflict. Communication also significantly predicts the criterion followed by other salient sources.
