article review from week 2 Paper-
The article by Keijsers & Poulin (2013) is an examination of the way parent–child communication relating to unsupervised activities during adolescence emerges over the course of this stage of development. The study followed a very critical stage in developmental psychology, adolescence, with the aim of developing an understanding of how parent–child communication impact on development at this stage. The choice of this article is informed by the important role involvement of parents in the lives of the adolescent impact on their psychological development during this stage, and how this plays out in both girls and boys.
Science makes use of an empirical approach. This means that it is a systematic way of gaining knowledge from experience, which later became a method of inquiry, which applied experiments and careful observation in gathering facts and evidence. From such a perspective, the article is a good example in the view of psychology as a science. The idea is that in psychology, there is use of the empirical approach to generate facts and evidence in whatever topic. In the case of the current article, it would not be enough to simply state that parent–child communication changed over the course of adolescence. It is more important to come up with experimental or careful observations to back up such a claim with evidence. The researchers utilized questionnaire data in the study, from adolescents studied over a period of time, from the age of 12 to 19. This is an interesting topic, and one that is easy to research in. it is interesting to be able to acquire scientific evidence that would support the perception that parent–child communication during adolescence is a unique phenomenon.
Any research in psychology is better done by psychology professionals, who provide the know-how and skills necessary to successfully complete such studies. While it might not be clearly indicated in the study, the researchers are professionals in the area of psychology explaining their efficiency and success in the current peer reviewed article. It is also among the sources of credibility of this article. Also, the scales and measurement tools that were used in the research were those that have been developed by experts in the field of psychology. Some of the examples include scales developed by Stattin and Kerr (2000) that were used in tapping parent–child communication. Items revised by Hawk, Hale, Raaijmakers, & Meeus, (2008) were utilized in assessing the frequency with which parents inquire from the adolescent about unsupervised time. a child disclosure scale developed by Frijns, Keijsers, Branje, & Meeus( 2010) was also used in measuring adolescence disclosure. A scale proposed by Almas et al. (2011) was used in measuring adolescent secrecy. There was no indication of interactions between psychology professionals and professionals in other fields.
The theoretical perspectives evident in the article are separation-individuation (Blos, 1967; Erikson, 1950) and the autonomy-relatedness (Cooper et al., 1983) perspectives. These perspectives would be important in informing the background of the research and in presenting a framework that would be tested through collection of data. The two perspectives were closely related to the topic of parent–child communication and the way it plays in the course of adolescence. This would also explain the developmental needs of adolescents such as the need for autonomy and independence. Thus, the theories played a critical role in the research published in the article.
