This correlational study investigated the patterns of change in parenting style, in adolescent externalizing behavior, and in the parent-child relationship occurring in families of parents participating in a 10-week training program entitled Systematic Training for Effective Parenting of Teens, developed by Dinkmeyer and McKay (1990). Most of the adult participants were affluent, married Caucasians. All spoke English as their primary language. Fifty-six family dyads of parents (average age, 41) and their target adolescent (ages 12–15) were assessed three times. Parents completed questionnaires each time; adolescents completed questionnaires at the first and third measuring points. The Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) measured parent self-perception and adolescent perception of the parent's authority style. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), completed by the parent, measured the adolescent's externalizing (aggressive and delinquent) behaviors. The parent also recorded changes in the parent-child relationship in the STEP Evaluation Form. The Parent-Child Relationship Survey (PCRS) measured the adolescent's report of the parent-child relationship. Parents completed a Demographic Data Questionnaire. The parents as a group showed a significant decrease in authoritarian parenting and a significant increase in authoritative parenting. Parents perceived their adolescents as demonstrating significantly less externalizing behavior, and the parents saw relationships in the family as improved. Without a control group, however, these overall changes must be interpreted with caution. Results indicated the following patterns of change: (1) as assessed by the adolescent, decreases in authoritarian parenting attitudes were significantly related to increases in the quality of the parent-child relationship; (2) more authoritative parenting was significantly related to improvement in family relationships as seen by the parent and improvement in the parent-child relationship as assessed by the adolescent. There was also a significant association between the parent's assessment and the adolescent's assessment of change (an increase) in the parent's authoritative parenting attitudes. No associations were found between these results and demographic variables. The STEP/Teen course is seen as collaterally useful in clinical work with families struggling to adapt to adolescence, where less authoritarian and more authoritative parenting is needed. Suggestions made for future research were the inclusion of a control group, a longer follow-up period, a more diverse sample, and gender comparisons.
