The main purpose of this study was to explore family relationship as predictors of parent-adolescentrnconflict within and across gender of parents and of adolescents. Specifically, attempts were made tornexamine perceived parental behaviors (i.e., support, monitoring, and punitiveness), autonomy fromrnparents, and conformity to parental expectations as predictors of adolescents' perception of parentadolescentrnconflict. Two hundred-twenty seven (108 males and 119 females) randomly selectedrnadolescent students of Gulele sub-city participated in the study. Data were collected usingrnadolescents' self-report on measures of parental behaviors, autonomy from parents and conformityrnto parental expectations, and on parent-adolescent conflict. Results of multiple regression analysesrnrevealed that adolescents' perceived fathers' support appeared negatively and significantly to predictrnadolescents' perception of parent-adolescent conflict in reference with males but not significant forrnfemales. Perceived mothers' support was found to be significant and negative predictor adolescents'rnperception of parent-adolescent conflict in reference with girls but insignificant for boys. [n addition,rnmost of the findings of adolescents' perceived parents' monitoring appeared to decrease perceivedrnparent-adolescent conflict but not significant. On the other hand, fathers' punitiveness was found tornbe a positive and significant predictor of parents' conflict with adolescent males but not significantrnfor adolescent females. Similarly, perceived mothers' punitiveness was found to be a positivernpredictor of parents' conflict with adolescent girls but insignificant for boys. Perceived autonomyrnfrom fathers was a negative and significant predictor of parents' conflict with adolescent girls butrnnot significant for boys. In addition, perceived autonomy from mothers was found to decreasernadolescents' perception of parent-adolescent conflict in reference with girls but insignificant forrnboys. Adolescents' perceived conformity to parents' expectations was a negative predictor ofrnperception of parent-adolescent conflict but not significant. It was concluded that patterns of familyrnrelationship as predictors of parent-adolescent conflict was different as a function of gender ofrnparents and of adolescents. Finally, recommendations were forwarded based on the findings of thernstudy
