ABSTRACT: Grounded in developmental and cultural-ecological perspectives, the current study examined trajectories of parent-youth conflict regarding everyday issues across adolescence and into young adulthood. Data came from 246 Mexican-origin families in the southwestern United States with younger siblings (51% female, M_age = 12.8, SD = 0.58), older siblings (M_age = 15.5, SD = 1.57), mothers (M_age = 39.0; SD = 4.6), and fathers (M_age = 41.7; SD = 5.8) and were collected at four time points over an 8-year period.
