Description	Two models examining the association between family factors and adolescent outcomes were designed.A questionnaire was completed by15-18 year old adolescents (n = 2,052)from participating countries (USA, Czechia, Bulgaria, Korea, China). The results demonstrate similarities across widely different cultures in the role that family relationships play in problem behavior and depressed mood. There is a domain-specificity of certain family variables: e.g. parental warmth is consistently related to depressed mood but not to problem behavior.
