The goal of this study was to examine the relations among mother's awareness of their adolescents' stressors, mother - adolescent communication, maternal monitoring and adolescent adjustment in single - parent families. Measures of adolescent stress, communication, monitoring and adolescents' anxious / depressed and aggresive behaviour were completed by 92 adolescents and their single mothers. The findings indicated that single mother were aware about half of their adolecents' stressors and not as aware of the importance to their adolescents. Adolescents in the group characterized by high stress / low agreement reported more problem behaviours. Moreover, monitoring mediated the relationship between awareness group membership and adolescent adjustment as high agreement groups reported more monitoring and fewer problem behaviours that did low agreement groups. Thus, during early adolescence when adolescent stress increases and family communication and monitoring change, monitoring by single mothers may increase awareness of adolescent stress, which in turn may buffer the negative effects of stress on adolescent adjustment.
