Abstract
Family is complex and intertwined system that its relationships are shaped by members' interactions. Healthy communication is vital to raise a family. The aim of present research is to investigate the mediating effect of triangulation between parental overt hostility and behavioral problems in adolescents. 900 students (450 daughters and 450 mothers) were selected through acidental cluster sampling. They completed Triangulation-Adolescent and Parent-Questionnaires, O'Leary-Porter Overt Hostility Scale and Youth Self Report (YSR) based on Achenbach System of Empirically Assessment. Path analysis was used for analyzing data. Mediating effect of triangulation between parental overt hostility and internalizing problems were not observed completely but partially. It is suggested that couples keep away their teens during marital problems and conflicts and manage to properly regulate emotions and stress parents are less involved.
