The importance of verbal interaction is increasingly being recognized, particularly by social constructivists. However, the quantitative analysis of verbal exchange is not yet an established research paradigm. Research on discourse with older children, adolescents, and their parents has proved fruitful and has provided an impetus for the quantitative analysis of discourse. The research presented in this chapter draws on an approach that views discourse as a special kind of behavioral interaction. This chapter discusses why it is so important to examine discourse data in a quantitative way and then examines both con?ict and planning discourse between parents and adolescents with several different coding systems. The use of multiple systems allows the examination of four speci?c questions. First, do patterns of parent–adolescent discourse differ from discourse patterns found in other relationships? Second, are the speci?c patterns of interaction that occur in discussions between parents and adolescents stable over different types of discourse? Third, can discourse help us to view the process by which individuation progresses within family relationships? Finally, are observed interaction patterns consistent with participants’ subjective accounts of the interaction and relationship? The answers to these questions provide objec- tive, generalizable evidence on the process by which adolescents and parents deal with the individuation process through everyday interactions.
