• Lying Behavior, Family Functioning and Adjustment in Early Adolescence (2006, background): “First, it is expected that children who are raised in warm and responsive families lie less than children who are raised in cold and ignorant families (see Finkenauer et al. , 2002).”
• Relational consequences of compulsive Internet use: a longitudinal study among newlyweds (2011, background): “For results on the validity and reliability of the scale, see studies by Finkenauer, Engels, and Meeus (2002) and Finkenauer, Frijns, Engels, and Kerkhof (2005).”
• Keeping Secrets From Parents: Longitudinal Associations of Secrecy in Adolescence (2005, background): “A final question that arises is how the negative association between secrecy from parents and self-control fits with the previous finding that secrecy from parents contributes to emotional autonomy in adolescence (Finkenauer et al., 2002).”
• Adolescent development in interpersonal and societal contexts. (2006, background): “…yet fully resolved, but it highlights the need to better understand adolescents’ strategies for information management (Darling et al. 2000, Marshall et al. 2005) and the implications of disclosure and secrecy for parenting and adolescent development (Finkenauer et al. 2002, Smetana et al. 2005).”
• Disclosure and Relationship Satisfaction in Families (2004, background): “If partners in horizontal relationships perceive their partners to disclose less frequently to them, they may attribute this lack of disclosure to a poorly functioning marital ( Finkenauer & Hazam, 2000 ) or sibling relationship (Howe et al., 1995).”
• A Structural Model of Autonomy in Middle and Late Adolescence: Connectedness, Separation, Detachment, and Agency (2003, background): “Many authors (e.g., Feiring and Lewis, 1993; Ryan and Lynch, 1989; Turner et al., 1993), however, claimed that this instrument actually measures detachment from parents.”
