摘要:The notion of authority is common in the literature on parent-child relationships.However, the notion of ‘parental authority’ remains largelyunspecified. The present article first critically reviews conceptualisationsof parental authority in selected developmental-psychological approaches.We find the absence of an explicit and integrated theoreticaland empirical conceptualisation of parental authority, as well as a certainlack of consistency in the application of the concept. Against thebackground of this review, we suggest initial steps towards a concept ofparental authority as relational, dynamic and co-constituted in the senseof a joint product and outcome of family relationships
