This article reports on an investigation of adolescent social initiative, a particular form of adolescent social competence. Specifically, the study explored the extent to which variations in this form of social competence can be understood as a function of the history of interpersonal relationships in the lives of adolescents. The sample (N = 750), consisted of two age cohorts (ages 11 - 13 and 14 - 17) that were assessed anually for 3 consecutive years (1995 - 1997) by way of a mailed self - report survey. Findings indicated that positive aspects of the parent - adolescent relationship (support, behavioural control) measures 2 years previous predicted adolescent social initiative directly or indirectly through the quality of interpersonal relationship with best friend, school officials and community adults measured 1 year previous to the assessment of social initiative and / or through adolescent individual characteristics (self - esteem, antisocial behaviour) measured commitantly with social initiative. Although significant variance in the change in social initiative across the 3 year period was accounted for in both cohorts, a larger set of predictors was associated with social initiative among the younger cohorts, a larger set of predictors was associated with social initiative among the younger cohort, suggesting that the social identity of younger adolescents was still dependent on their recent experiences in a variety of social relationships, whereas the parental relationship was the primary predictor for the older cohort.
