TELL ME, HEAR MY VOICE: EXPLORING PARENTAL COMMUNICATION ON ADOLESCENTS THROUGH PHENOMENOLOGICAL INQUIRY

Quennie B. Rosios, Noe P. Garcia

Abstract


This phenomenological study explored how adolescents perceive and experience communication with their parents, aiming to understand its impact on their emotional well-being and interpersonal development. Conducted at Irineo L. Santiago National High School, the research involved ten (10) purposively selected student participants who engaged in in-depth interviews using expert-validated interview guides. The collected data underwent rigorous thematic analysis to draw out recurring patterns and insights. Findings revealed three major dimensions of adolescent experiences. In terms of communication patterns, adolescents experienced imposed trust and guidance, generational disconnection, and emotional distance. Regarding emotional impact, emergent themes included fear of being criticized, hesitancy to speak back, fear of consequences, disappointment when disregarded, positive emotions, and a sense of relief. From the adolescents’ insights and reflections, the study further uncovered themes such as promoting open communication, raising emotional validation, improving decision-making, creating a safe space, boosting self-confidence, and enhancing parent-child relationships. These findings emphasized the powerful influence of parental communication on adolescents’ emotional landscape and social adjustment. This study would contribute to the body of knowledge by offering meaningful insights that can inform school-based interventions, parent education programs, and future research on strengthening family communication dynamics.
