Both young people and mothers were more supportive of nurturance than self-determination rights, although young people were more supportive than their mothers of self-determination rights and mothers were more supportive than young people of nurturance rights.

The advancement of knowledge about rights from childhood to adolescence was investigated. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted on 169 8-16 yr-olds to evaluate their knowledge and significance of rights both generally and in children's and teenagers' lives. Findings indicated that what teenagers and children believe about rights are apparently affected by how they view rights in their own lives.
