During adolescence individuals develop their sense of identity, with one critical milestone being the development of autonomy. Recent research has suggested that cultural differences play a role in how adolescents achieve autonomy, highlighting the importance of examining both agency and interpersonal distance as key components of this process. The overall goal of this study was to examine the strategies that Armenian American adolescents use to advocate for their own viewpoints and choices in disagreements with their parents. Specifically, this study surveyed 95 adolescents (14-18 years of age) on their strategy use (i.e. self-assertion, compliance, negotiation, and non-disclosure) and reasons behind such strategies (i.e. autonomy, autonomy-related, related) in hypothetical scenarios of parental disagreement in the personal domain and hypothesized that strategy choice and reasons would vary by gender, country of origin, topic of discussion, and cultural values endorsed. Results suggest that Armenian adolescents use strategies of assertion and do so for autonomous reasons. Moreover, adolescents use self-compliance as a form of assertion, such that in parental disagreements about dating adolescents chose compliance for autonomous reasons. This study provides evidence for the importance of the autonomy-related model, showing a strong correlation between adolescent's tendencies to use negotiation and autonomy-related reasons. In addition, autonomy-related reasons were positively related to trust in the parental relationship, suggesting that concurrent considerations of agency and interpersonal relations are part of a healthy developmental process in parent-child relationship. Surprisingly, there were no gender differences in strategy choice, reasons, or endorsement of Armenian values. Lastly, endorsing traditional Armenian Values positively predicted the use of autonomy-related reasons and negatively predicted autonomous reasons. This study has implications for counseling Armenian families, given the importance of cultural values in predicting a healthy autonomous process considering both adolescent agency and parental concerns.
