  text: "This study investigates age-related changes and dyadic-specific differences
    in adult child–parent\r\nrelationships. Using an individuation framework, two
    German samples of 224 and 105 participants\r\naged between 21 and 47 years were
    administered the Network of Relationships Inventory, the\r\nEmotional Autonomy
    Scale and the Authority Reciprocity Questionnaire. Factor analyses resulted\r\nin
    a measurement model valid for adult children, their mothers and fathers. The model
    includes\r\nconnectedness (with emotional and cognitive aspects) as well as individuality
    (assessed as power\r\nsymmetry). Connectedness decreased with age. Symmetry in
    father–child relationships increased over\r\ntime, while mother–child relationships
    were perceived to be symmetrical by early adulthood.\r\nChild–mother relationships
    were more connected than child–father relationships. Sons described\r\nthemselves
    as more powerful than did daughters."
