From the Paper:

"Firstly, the age and gender of the children will be taken into consideration when selecting the sampling frame for analysis. The age and gender of the children should be between 14 and 19 years. This is because the children chosen in this study will be divided into two groups pertaining to their age and gender: children in the first group will include 2 boys and 2 girls from ages 14-16, children in the second group will include 2 boys and 2 girls from ages 16-19. Secondly, orphans and children, who are not living with their parents, will not be considered as this study concentrates on the attitude of adolescents and how their attitude affects their relationships with their parents."
