Abstract
Este trabajo intenta responder básicamente a una pregunta: ¿Tienen
mayores dificultades de comunicación con sus progenitores los actuales adolescentes
que los de hace una o dos décadas? Partiendo de una investigación
con diseño secuencial transversal, se analizan las tendencias temporales en la
facilidad de comunicación parento-filial en la adolescencia a lo largo del periodo
1986-2002. Se han efectuado cuatro recogidas de datos sucesivas (1986,
1990, 1994 y 2002), utilizando muestras representativas del conjunto del
alumnado de España. La muestra total está compuesta por 14.578 sujetos de
11, 13, 15 y 17 años. Entre otros hallazgos, se constata entre las chicas de 15
años una mayor dificultad de comunicación con el padre en 2002, en comparación
con 1994, mientras que en los chicos de 15 años la evolución interanual
al respecto es relativamente estable. En lo que se refiere a la comunicación
con la madre, se detecta que los chicos de 15 años presentan en conjunto
menor facilidad de comunicación con la madre en 2002 que en 1994. Entre
otras implicaciones, todo ello puede significar que se están acentuando las diferencias
de género en la comunicación con los progenitores en la adolescencia.
This paper basically tries to answer one question: Do today’s adolescents have greater communication difficulties with their parents than did adolescents from ten or twenty years ago? A sequential cross-sectional design was used to analyse time trends in the ease of parent-child communication in adolescence for the period 1986-2002. To this end, data were collected in four subsequent years (1986, 1990, 1994 and 2002) using representative samples of schoolchildren in Spain. The sample comprised 14,578 subjects aged 11, 13, 15 and 17. Girls aged 15 were found to have greater communication difficulties with their fathers in 2002 as compared to 1994, whereas among 15-year-old boys the inter-annual evolution in this regard was relatively stable. As regards communication with mothers, 15-year-old boys generally showed greater difficulty in 2002 than in 1994. Among other implications, this may mean that gender differences are becoming more pronounced in communication with parents during adolescence.
