Answer: At puberty: Relationships characterized by becoming somewhat cooler.
Parent-child communication shifts from touching to talking. Conflict increases,
especially for early maturing adolescents. Feel less close to mothers, and less
accepted by fathers. Distancing hypothesis: Theorizes evolutionary basis for the
increasing distance between parents and adolescents. That is, it is adaptive in terms
of mating and reproduction for adolescents to move away from closeness with
parents to find mates in a larger social circle.

Topic: Social and Personal Responses to Puberty
Learning Objective: 2.9 Compare and contrast cultures in how puberty influences
family relations.
Skill: Understand the Concepts
Answer: Studies have shown that conflict with parents tends to be especially high
for adolescents who mature early. Various explanations have been proposed,
centering mostly on how the biologically based incest taboo between parents and
children becomes activated once children reach sexual maturity, resulting in more
distancing relations. Studies have found that this takes place mainly in two-parent
White American families and one study of African American families. Distancing is
not common in Latino families or in divorced mother-headed families.

Difficulty: 3

Topic: Social and Personal Responses to Puberty
Learning Objective: 2.10 Describe personal responses to menarche and semenarche
among adolescents and how these responses are shaped by cultures.
Skill: Remember the Facts
Answer: In the 19th century, menarche and menstruation were “taboo” topics in
middle class America. Menstruation was associated with sexuality and thus took on
the status of a “secret” topic in order to protect the “innocence” of girls. Menarche
occurred later (secular trend) and most girls experienced menarche with little or no
information. In the 20th century, menarche became more openly discussed and
associated with health and hygiene. Information about menstruation was
communicated via media and corporations. Today it is rare for girls to reach
menarche without some awareness of the process.
