From the theoretical perspective of consumer socialization, this exploratory study examined the single-parent family context with respect to adolescent participation in family consumer activities. Specifically, the relationships between family structure, parent-child communication as related to consumer issues, and adolescent participation in family consumer tasks and decisions were studied. Findings confirmed that family structure is related to parent-child communication and to adolescent participation in tasks and decisions. Social style of parent-child communication acts as a moderating variable in the relationship between family structure and adolescent participation in family consumer decisions.
