This article discusses the applicability of semantic field analysis to the study of development and change in important interpersonal relations on the example of parent-child relationships. The narrative material was compiled from responses of 348 teenagers and young adults aged 13-30 years. Participants wrote about their parents ('Tell me about your parents'). On the basis of the context, semantic fields were generated for the high-incidence phrase 'to love one's parents', which is the primary model of conceptualizing the parent-child relationship in our culture. The results demonstrate the material complexity of the 'love for parents' semantic field in the study group, and reveal the associative network of other semantic relations involving this concept. They also confirm the hypotheses on subtle developmental changes in the understanding of 'love for parents' between early adolescence and adulthood. The study presents the application of methods based on linguistic analysis of language to the analysis of developmental changes in important personal relationships.

The ability to take the perspective of other, to see and imagine how the world would look like seen through other eyes is an important developmental achievement. In piagetian research tradition this ability is described as 'interpersonal decentration'. In current paper the authoress proposes to understand perspective taking in a narrative way, as expressed in the ability to tell life stories from the perspective of the different characters that take part in the events. This ability evolves in the lifespan, especially in the adolescence. Presented research concerns taking the perspective of the parent in adolescent narratives about the parental home. Participants from three different age groups: 13-16, 16-19, 19-24 - all of them students of different Warsaw schools and Warsaw University, took part in the research and provided written narratives concerning their parents. The results show that with age and self-rated sense of adulthood the ability to include the perspective of the parents improves. Results of a qualitative content analysis of the narratives are also presented.

Studies have shown that both expressing uncontrolled anger and suppressing anger are related to depression. Taking the latter into consideration, we explored another possible mechanism that could be used to predict the level of depression – the consistency between desired and undertaken behaviour. In Study 1 (N = 270) we tested whether depressive symptoms are related to emotional reactions in provoking or frustrating situations. The results revealed that higher levels of sensitivity to provocations and to frustrations contributed to higher levels of depression. In Study 2 (N = 195) we applied quantitative and qualitative analyses to test whether the severity of depressive symptoms could be predicted by the consistency of what people desire to do and how they actually act, when exposed to frustrating and provocative situations. The results showed that higher perceived consistency was related to lower levels of depression. The results are discussed in terms of the psychodynamic theory.
