Serena's family, in which both parents are financially secure, invested in their work, and content in their marriage, is the most likely to grant its teenager an appropriate degree of autonomy and experience less conflict with her. Financial security and contentment in marriage are associated with greater parental warmth, involvement, and positive parenting practices, which promote adolescent autonomy and reduce parent-adolescent conflict. The other families, on the other hand, have stressors such as time-consuming, stressful jobs (Martina's family), unemployment (Karina's family), and divorce and custody battles (Bettina's family), which may interfere with parental availability, communication, and support, and increase the likelihood of parent-adolescent conflict.
