Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present study, an instrument that measures three dimensions of intrafamilial conflict resolution, Reasoning, Verbal Aggression, and Violence, was administered to three samples of adolescents. All adolescents were from the general population and were assessed with a structured diagnostic interview. The results indicated that: (1) adolescents with depressive symptomatology and psychiatric control subjects perceived themselves and their mothers as more Verbally Aggressive and Violent during intrafamilial conflict than normal controls; and (2) more difficulties resolving intrafamilial conflict were associated with more severe levels of depressive symptomatology in adolescents, irrespective of diagnostic group.
