Gender Disparities in Parental Academic Pressure and Adolescent-Parent Conflict in Turkey

The study utilized a predictive correlational design, employing the Parent-Adolescent Conflict Scale and the Perceived Parental Academic Pressure Scale to collect data.

A significant positive correlation was found between parental academic pressure and adolescent-parent conflict. This correlation was more pronounced in females, explaining 35% of the variance, compared to males, where it explained 21%.

The findings suggest that high parental expectations lead to increased conflict. The study recommends enhanced family counseling services, parental education on appropriate academic support, and better understanding of teenage needs to address these issues.

Pamuk (2022) investigated gender disparities in parental academic pressure and adolescent-parent conflict among 751 high school students in Konya, Turkey.
