The polarization of postures in conflicts among parents and adolescents involve a threat for family harmony. Skills for argumentation and perspective taking are required to enable the achievement of satisfactory agreements during the processes of negotiation. The purpose of this paper has been to analyze the skills of parents and adolescents to adopt other perspectives when discussing a conflict by means of observational methodology. The study was carried out with 29 families (constituted by father, mother and an adolescent son or daughter) who were recorded while they argued about a real conflict. Frequency and duration of five levels of perspective-taking were registered (Myself; Reasoned myself; the other like an obstacle; the other adding to me; and us) in the discourse of the family, and also in the different members of the triad, considering their interrelations. The results were showing a moderated level of perspective-taking in family discussions, predominating the levels Reasoned myself, focused on explaining own perspective, and The other like an obstacle, focused on reasons to contest the perspective of the other. In general parents showed more perspective-taking. Particularly the mothers exhibited more sensitivity with her adolescent son or daughter, providing higher levels of perspective-taking and argumentation.

This report examined the stability and reliability of self-reported conflict frequency in relationships with mothers, fathers, and best friends. Participants were drawn from three independent samples in the Netherlands (n = 72, M = 15.6 years), Germany (n = 242, M = 19.7 years), and the United States (n = 250, M = 19.8 years). Participants completed both topic-based surveys and interaction-based diary assessments of conflict frequency. Within samples, comparable levels of internal consistency and temporal stability emerged in each relationship for both assessment techniques. Topic-based and interaction-based assessments of conflict frequency were moderately correlated in each relationship within samples. Daily topic-based assessments with short intervals between time points may provide the most advantageous assessment strategy for obtaining reliable measures of conflict frequency in adolescents’ close relationships.

Traditional multilane roundabouts have many branch lanes without traffic signs and channelization, which leads to a high tendency for traffic collisions. Turbo roundabouts are a new design that has the potential to reduce lane-change conflicts using canalization to force drivers to keep in specific lanes based on their intended destination. This paper evaluates the safety and efficiency performance of turbo roundabouts for the case of a five-leg roundabout called Lujiazui in Shanghai and provides design and construction guidelines when applying the turbo design. The models for the Lujiazui roundabout and the reconstructed turbo version were built in Vissim, and a comprehensive series of experiments under different traffic volumes and central island radii was performed. Afterward, the conflict statistics extracted from the trajectory files in the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM) were analyzed using the conflict severity index (CSI) and were then integrated to calculate the modified conflict frequency (MCF) for safety performance evaluation. A comparative efficiency analysis was also conducted as a supplement. Based on the results, the relative characteristics for safety and efficiency between the turbo and original designs of the Lujiazui roundabout were analyzed. Suggestions to apply the turbo design on a five-leg roundabout are introduced.

Abstract.WHO IS GOING WITH YOU TO THE PARTY? MANAGING CONFLICT BETWEEN PARENTS AND ADOLESCENTSFamily life may be may be in risk when parents and adolescent face conflicts from closed positions. The processes of conflict demand perspectivism competences as an essential resource to facilitate the achievement of satisfactory arrangements for all through adequate argumentation. The purpose of this paper has been to analyze the skills of parents and adolescents to adopt other perspectives when discussing a conflict by means of observational methodology. The study was carried out with 29 families (constituted by father, mother and an adolescent son or daughter) who were recorded while they argued about a real conflict. Frequency of five levels of perspective-taking were registered (Myself; Reasoned myself; The other like an obstacle; The other adding to me; and Us) in the discourse of the family, and also in the different members of the triad, considering their interrelations. The results were showing a moderated level of perspective-taking in family discussions, predominating the levels Reasoned myself, focused on explaining own perspective, and The other like an obstacle, focused on reasons to contest the perspective of the other. In general parents showed more perspective-taking. Particularly the mothers exhibited more sensitivity with her adolescent son or daughter, providing higher levels of perspective-taking and argumentation.Keywords: Family conflicts, parents-adolescents, oral argumentation, perspective-taking, negotiation.Resumen.La convivencia familiar puede ponerse en peligro cuando los padres e hijos adolescentes afrontan los conflictos desde posturas cerradas. Los procesos de conflicto, en un contexto de convivencia, requieren poner en marcha el perspectivismo como recurso imprescindible para facilitar el logro de acuerdos satisfactorios para todos a través de una adecuada argumentación. Mediante la metodología observacional, analizamos la capacidad de adoptar otras perspectivas durante los conflictos familiares. La muestra está compuesta por 87 participantes, organizados en 29 tríadas familiares (constituidas por el padre, la madre y un/a hijo/a adolescente) que fueron grabadas mientras discutían acerca de un conflicto real. Se analizan la frecuencia de cinco niveles perspectivistas (Yo simple; Yo Razonado; el Otro como Obstáculo; el Otro Añadido; y Nosotros) en el discurso familiar, en función de cada uno de los miembros de la tríada, así como las relaciones que se establecen entre sí. Los resultados muestran el predominio de los niveles «Yo Razonado» con explicaciones sobre la propia posición, y «el Otro como Obstáculo» con razones para rebatir las posiciones contrarias. Los padres, en general, conceden mayor oportunidad al perspectivismo que los adolescentes, especialmente las madres, quienes muestran más sensibilidad con los hijos/as al emplear niveles perspectivistas y de argumentación más elevados.Palabras clave: Conflictos familiares, padres-adolescentes, argumentación oral, perspectivismo, negociación.
