Family process rules are an important part of the family social environment in which children develop and may especially impact the development of healthy adolescent mental health. The problem studied in this research is how implicit family process rules are related to adolescent offspring’s mental health. More specifically, it aims to determine the relationship between specific types of implicit family process rules that are facilitative or constraining and adolescent psychological symptoms including depression, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, and somatization.
