This study examines how parenting helps explain the contemporaneous association between interparental hostility and adolescent problem behavior. A theoretical model of spillover was tested specifying five aspects mothers' fathers' that might be associated with parents' hostile interactions one another: harshness, inconsistency, psychological intrusiveness, lower levels acceptance monitoring knowledge.

To explore the link between interparental hostility and adolescent problem behaviors, current study examines four important maternal parenting dimensions as potential mediators: acceptance, harshness, inconsistency, psychological intrusiveness. With a primary sample of 1,893 sixth-grade students, measures included teacher reports.

Using Bowenian theory as a foundation, this study examined the hypothesis that properties of close relationships are transmitted from one generation to next.A large sample single, never married, late adolescents (N = 977) completed measures regarding trait anxiety, family dynamics (triangulation, fusion, and control) in origin, communication patterns romantic relationships.Multivariate regression analyses indicated fusion control were associated with higher anxiety.In addition, origin...
Using Bowenian family systems theory, this study examined the effects of intergenerational transmission anxiety in origin through processes fusion, triangulation, and control on late adolescents' attitudes toward marriage readiness for marriage. Participants ( N = 977) completed three measures their families origin, marriage, The findings indicated that fusion triangulation were related to negative opinions feelings about They did not have a significant effect perceived or waiting period...
Abstract Theories of school learning consistently point to ability, quality instruction, motivation, and academic instructional time as important influences. Research also supports those variables related for learning, but few researchers have assessed the combined effects or examined both direct indirect effects. Here we used LISREL test a conceptual model examining five (ability, quality, course work, homework) common theories on student grades. A large, nationally representative sample...
This study examines the relation between maternal warmth and internalizing externalizing problems of early adolescents, potential mediation this by emotional insecurity. The hypotheses for derive from Cummings Davies’ theory security. current extends to security processes within parent-adolescent relationship. A total 203 adolescents drawn school samples in Spain participated along with their mothers classroom teachers. results supported hypothesis. Emotional insecurity mediated relationship...
Based on the developmental theories of life course and emerging adulthood, current study examines a central question about diversity trajectories among young adults who drop out college. The National Longitudinal Study Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) provides prospective data nationally representative sample US adults. Our subsamples include dropped college (N = 1,530) those obtained bachelor's degree 1,977). We examined five dimensions well-being: socio-economic success indicators,...
Using Bowlby's (1988) theory of attachment relations in this meta-analytic study, we examined prior studies that assessed both parental and peer during adolescence. The collective sample size reflects 12,482 participants across 53 conducted since 1970. overall effect between adolescent variables was approximately ½ SD (d =. 54). Analysis specific dimensions indicates related to social competence best friend relationship quality. Despite variations study characteristics, appears remarkably...

Abstract Despite the burgeoning literature on attributions, research reliability or validity of attributional measures has been meager. Several factors have inhibited measurement including lack explicit criteria for determining and a framework comparing attributions. A is presented classifying that includes three approaches: (a) open ended, (b) derived score, (c) direct rating. Two studies were conducted with these approaches. The first demonstrated adequate test-retest correlations in...

Children are sometimes excluded from family therapy because of the lack techniques for fully incorporating children in sessions. Circular questioning, a technique developed by Milan team therapists, is modified use with varying developmental levels. Five types circular questions presented and modifications each type discussed. Each modification further illustrated case study. Practical considerations when conducting questioning sessions addressed. These facilitate participation inclusion therapy.
