TL;DR

It is found that good communication with peers does not improve their experience of psychological complaints if the communication with parents is not good, and that those with better communication in both social contexts were the ones showing less psychological complaints.

Abstract

We conclude that our findings are consistent with the continuity hypothesis and against the compensating or moderating one.
