The subject of this study was eight pairs of first or second year high school students and their mothers. At least three interviews were conducted on each student and mother pair using the qualitative study method. The results of this research can be summarized as follows.

Second, most adolescent children used avoidance to cope with conflict situations with their mothers. Others made deals to get what they wanted, or resolved conflicts through dialog, letters, and e-mail. Third, when faced dith a conflict with their adolescent children, most mothers used persuasion as or made the children to give up something in return for letting them have something they want.
