Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy.
The purpose of this present study was to examine the relationship between parents’ and adolescent’s’ perceptions of family communication and adolescents’ reports of depression symptoms. Data for this study came from an existing data set. Participants included 167 adolescents and 118 mothers. The Family Communication Scale (mother and adolescent), and the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale Major Depression Subscale (adolescent only) were completed pre and post treatment. A correlational research design was used for this study. The results of the study found no correlation between mothers’ and the adolescent’s perception of family communication and adolescent depression prior to treatment. After treatment a correlation between adolescent’s perception of family communication and adolescent’s report of depression was found. It was also found that adolescent’s perception of family communication accounted for more variance than the mothers’ perception of communication in relation to adolescent report of depression.
