Samenvatting:
De doelstellingen van dit onderzoek waren 1. het vergelijken van verwachtingen die adolescenten en ouders hebben met betrekking tot het tijdstip van het volbrengen van een aantal ontwikkelingstaken, en 2. na te gaan of de discrepantie in verwachtingen samenhangt met de mate van conflicten in de ouder/adolescent–relatie. Resultaten laten zien dat de ouders het volbrengen van ontwikkelingstaken consistent op een later tijdstip verwachten dan de adolescenten. Ofschoon ouders latere verwachtingen hebben, is er een grote overeenkomst tussen de adolescenten en de ouders in de volgorde waarin de ontwikkelingstaken volbracht zouden moeten worden. De hoeveelheid conflicten tussen de adolescent en zijn of haar ouders was positief gerelateerd aan de verschillen in verwachtingen.

Adolescents' and parental expectations regarding developmental tasks during adolescence
The aims of this study were 1. to compare the age related expectations of parents and adolescents concerning the timing of achievement in a number of developmental tasks, and 2. to examine whether discrepancies between the adolescents’ and the parents’ expectations are related to the amount of parent–adolescent conflict. Analyses showed that parents consistently indicate later ages for the achievement of developmental tasks than adolescents. Although parents have later timetables, parents and adolescents have strikingly similar views of the sequence in which achievement of developmental tasks should occur. The amount of conflict within the parent–adolescent relationship was associated with differences in developmental expectations.
