Influential Impact of Parent-Child Interaction on Adolescent Depression Levels
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to explore the correlation between adolescent depression and parent-child interaction. A sample of 150 school students aged 14-17, encompassing both genders, was conveniently selected. To assess the level of interaction between parents and adolescents in terms of time spent, the researcher utilized the 'Quality-time' Parent-Child Interaction Questionnaire (with a Chronbach’s alpha coefficient of m = .827), developed specifically for this study. Additionally, the Beck Depression Inventory by Aaron T. Beck (1977) was employed to measure depression levels. The collected data underwent analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient 'r' to determine the relationship between the qualities of time spent with parents and adolescent depression.
