| Summary: | <p>The primary aim of the study was to examine gender-specific parent-adolescent relationships characteristics. The article discusses the features of parent- girls and parent-boys relationship in adolescence, the specific image of mother and father in the context of parent-adolescent relationships. With the Scales “Adolescents about their parents” (L.Wassermann) and “Child-parent Interaction” (I.Markovskaya) main gender contexts of parent-child relationships are measured: mother-son, mother-daughter, father-son, father-daughter relationships. Boys indicate an increased directivity of their parents (foremost – of their father). Girls indicate emotional closeness, cooperation and harmony in the relationship with their mothers, rather than male adolescents. Mothers are generally more involved in the parent-adolescent relationship and seem to be more cooperating, but more prescriptive. Fathers seem to give adolescent less control, representing a greater degree of autonomy in relationships.</p>
