Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relations among school adjustment, parent-child relations of mutual trust, and trust in one's best friend. A questionnaire assessing mood in the class (aggression, anxiety, and relaxation), maladjustment tendencies (loneliness and antisocial tendencies), and young people's trust in their parents and best friend was completed by 270 junior high school students. A questionnaire on parent's trust in their child was completed by 279 mothers and 241 fathers. The main results were as follows: (1) Youth who reported a relationship of mutual trust with their parents were well-adjusted to school. On the other hand, children who did not have a fully trusting relationship with their parents tended to be maladjusted at school.(2) For those children who did not have a relation of mutual trust with their parents, the extent to which they trusted their best friend was related to their tendency to be maladjusted in school (the loneliness and antisocial tendency measures).
