Sažetak

The aim of this article is to investigate the workings of parental authority in Slovenian families: how is parental authority asserted and how do adolescents react to parental authority? Based on a qualitative exploration, the study shows that parental authority is accommodated in ways that comply with the general culture of intergenerational negotiations; it is co-constituted as a joint product of family relationships. The ways of authority assertion differ according to the respective domain: it is predominantly indirect in the example of school performance, and more direct and coercive regarding participation in household chores.
