Abstract
Kaniusonyte and Laursen (2024) make an important contribution to our understanding of parental prohibitions of peer relationships and their relationship to other aspects of adolescent social functioning. This commentary develops several possible extensions to this interesting line of research with a goal of more specifically identifying the mechanisms that account for the relationships between prohibitions and adolescents' peer adjustment. Future investigations can build on this research by considering the role of conflict between parents and adolescents as a potential mediator or moderator in the process of prohibiting and considering the meaning of restrictive peer access to adolescents' peers across the developmental period. Further, investigations could consider daily diary and observational approaches to expand the field to better understand prohibitions at a microlevel. The commentary also encourages investigators to more fully examine bidirectionality, specifically child effects, which have received relatively little attention in this area.
