A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

一个研究者评论道，“我们惊奇的是，青少年说他们之所以能够与他们家人和睦相处是由于在他们被当作异类时有一段短期的社会交往经历。但是，叛逆和逃离父母的念头的确只发生在十九世纪六十年代大家都在叛逆的那段时间里。青少年个人经历里的那些境遇已经帮助他们平稳地接受了家庭里的所有事情。”
