Περίληψη

Since human beings are born, they belong to a world that is 'ready', in terms of the regulation and evaluation of communicatio with others. The family is the first human society in which parents learn child norms, values and behavior patterns. In the micro world of the family, parents hold the position of ‘significant others’, while the carriers of social behavior outside the family holding the position of the ‘generalized other’, according to the theory of G. Mead. In this research, a questionnaire was answered by teenagers in the Attica region, Greece, with regard to how they view their relationships with their parents, the parenting styles, parental control, and especially in school performance, and, finally, on the desired content of relationships with their parents. The data were processed with the statistical package SPSS, and showed interesting results for the modern Greek family and its relations with teenagers, which clearly demonstrates democratic orientation.
