Resumen

Se estudia el impacto de la permanencia de los hijos/as en el hogar en la participación y resolución de los conflictos familiares según el punto de vista de ambos padres y del hijo/a durante la adolescencia y la adultez emergente en 240 familias biparentales. Se seleccionaron seis conflictos, seis estrategias de resolución y cuatro metas que se desean alcanzar. La participación en los conflictos familiares, sigue siendo medio-alta en el conjunto de las edades, sobre todo por parte de la madre y del hijo/a. La tríada tiende a utilizar más las estrategias de negociación en la adultez emergente aunque los padres hacen más esfuerzos que los hijos/as a esta edad para hacer ver su postura. La permanencia en casa permite alcanzar cotas más altas de igualdad de género y se observa una mayor restricción en el uso de las emociones negativas en el conflicto por parte de los jóvenes. Sin embargo, los/las jóvenes no llegan a considerar la importancia de la valoración y comprensión mutua con las figuras parentales y mantienen posturas de dominancia típicas de la adolescencia.

Abstract

This study analyses the impact of youngsters' stay at home on family participation and quality of conflict resolution, according to the view of both parents and their sons/daughters during the adolescent and emerging adulthood years in a sample of 240 two-parent families. Six strategies and four goals were selected and applied to six hypothetical conflict situations. Overall, the level of family participation in conflicts continued to be medium-high, especially for the mother and son/daughter. The triad used more negotiation during emerging adulthood, though parents were more active in explaining their own views than their sons/daughters. Staying at home allowed reaching higher levels of gender equality in emerging adulthood and a more restrictive use of negative emotions during conflict resolution on the part of youngsters. However, youngsters did not give much importance to achieving mutual value and comprehension with parents and maintained high levels of dominance typical of adolescent years.
