The early childhood antecedents and behavior‐problem correlates of monitoring psychological control were examined in this prospective, longitudinal, multi‐informant study. Parenting data collected during home visit interviews with 440 mothers their 13‐year‐old children. Behavior problems (anxiety/depression delinquent behavior) assessed via mother, teacher, and/or adolescent reports at ages 8 through 10 years again 13 14. Home‐interview age 5 used to measure antecedent parenting...

Abstract Regulating emotions well is critical for promoting social and emotional health among children adolescents. Parents play a prominent role in how develop emotion regulation. In 2007, Morris et al. proposed tripartite model suggesting that parents influence children's regulation through three mechanisms: observation of parents' regulation, emotion‐related parenting practices, the climate family. Over past decade, we have conducted many studies support this model, which summarize here...

Peer acceptance and friendships were examined as moderators in the link between family adversity child externalizing behavioral problems. Data on (i.e., ecological disadvantage, violent marital conflict, harsh discipline) temperament social information processing collected during home visits from 585 families with 5–year–old children. Children’s peer acceptance, friendship, friends’ aggressiveness assessed sociometric methods kindergarten grade 1. Teachers provided ratings of children’s...

Quality of peer relationships and perceived antisocial behavior were examined as moderators the link between negative parenting externalizing problems in school from middle childhood to early adolescence. Data on (i.e., unilateral parental decision making, low supervision awareness, harsh discipline) collected 362 parents summer preceding adolescents' entry into Grade 6. Adolescent reports positive assessed winter 7. The outcome measure was teacher report adolescent spring 7, controlling for...

Abstract Using data from two long-term longitudinal projects, we investigated reciprocal relations between maternal reports of physical discipline and teacher self-ratings child externalizing behavior, accounting for continuity in both over time. In Study 1, which followed a community sample 562 boys girls age 6 to 9, high levels given year predicted behavior the next year, year. 2, an independent 290 lower income, higher risk 10 15, mother-reported ratings antisocial but did not predict...

This study investigated associations between parental psychological control and aggressive behavior depressive symptoms among adolescents from predominantly disadvantaged backgrounds. The indirect effects of on adolescent adjustment through emotion regulation (anger sadness regulation) were examined as well the moderating regulation.206 (ages 10-18) reported their own symptoms, parents behavior. Indirect effect models tested using structural equation modeling; hierarchical multiple...

The current study examined associations between adolescent respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during an angry event discussion task and adolescents' emotion regulation adjustment. Data were collected from 206 adolescents (10-18 years of age, M age = 13.37). Electrocardiogram (ECG) respiration data adolescents, RSA values rates computed. Adolescents reported on their own regulation, prosocial behavior, aggressive behavior. Multilevel latent growth modeling was employed to capture responses...

Although research has demonstrated that both parents and peers influence adolescent development, it is not clear whether these relationships also serve as contexts for emotion socialization. In the current longitudinal study, we investigated maternal peer socialization were related to girls’ daily emotions, regulation, social emotional adjustment. The sample included 160 girls from low-income families followed across 2 years. At Time 1 (T1), reported on practices during laboratory visits....

The purpose of the study was to investigate link between sibling relationships and antisocial behavior in 208 boys from low-income families. Sibling relational attributes mother-target child (MTC) relationship quality were assessed when target (TC) 10 years old. At ages 11 12, TC reports peer evaluated. Results indicated that MTC negative significantly related conflict. In turn, conflict a significant predictor behavior; warmth/closeness behavior. Findings also after controlling for...

The current study examined pathways to adolescent anger and sadness regulation in low‐income families. sample included 206 families with adolescents age 10–18 years. Using a multimethod, multi‐informant approach, we assessed neighborhood violence, mutual emotional support, parental emotion coaching, regulation. findings indicated that high levels of support coaching low violence were correlated In addition, the analyses demonstrated multiple Specifically, was directly indirectly related...

Abstract The aim of the present investigation was to examine mother–son positive synchrony and its link child best friend antisocial behavior in middle childhood. Data were collected from 122 families with 10‐year‐old children during home assessments. Positive rated a parent–child discussion task. also gathered on openness conflict, harsh discipline, parental monitoring, child's social information processing. Four domains adjustment assessed: (ages 8 10), skills (age anxiety/depression 10)....

This study examined childhood antecedents and developmental outcomes associated with trajectories of mild harsh parental physical discipline. Interview, questionnaire, observational data were available from 499 children followed ages 5 to 16 258 in an independent sample 15. Analyses indicated distinct discipline trajectory groups that varied frequency rate change. In both samples, family ecological disadvantage differentiated the groups; first sample, early child externalizing also groups....

The purpose of this study was to test direct, additive, and mediation models involving family, neighborhood, peer factors in relation emerging antisocial behavior social skills. Neighborhood danger, maternal depressive symptoms, supportive parenting were assessed early childhood. Peer group acceptance measured middle childhood, data on skills collected when boys 11 12 years old. Results consistent with an additive effects model child behavior. In contrast, relationships stronger predictors...

This study investigated the development of mother–son relationship quality from ages 5 to 15 in a sample 265 low‐income families. Nonparametric random effects modeling was utilized uncover distinct and homogeneous developmental trajectories conflict warmth; antecedents outcomes trajectory groups also were examined. Four 3 warmth identified. Difficult temperament early childhood discriminated both group membership (TGM), adult related trajectories. In addition, TGM differentiated youth...

Despite the intuitive richness of family systems theory, relatively little research has sought to test validity constructs theorized be critical in development children's adjustment. One such cornerstone structural and strategic therapy is hierarchy. The present study investigated both hierarchical structure families from infancy late middle childhood relations between strong conduct problems. Using equation modeling, direct pathways low were evident for early caregiving behavior...

The parent-child relationship may be an important factor in the development of adolescent depressive and anxious symptoms. In adults, symptoms relate to increased amygdala attenuated prefrontal activation maternal criticism. current pilot study examined how anxiety a high-risk population neural responses feedback. Given previous research relating oxytocin behavior, we conducted exploratory analyses using receptor (OXTR) genotype. Eighteen females (ages 12–16) listened praise, neutral,...

Parental support positively behavior (directly indirectly through regulation), while permissive discipline directly...

Introduction The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence supportive parent-adolescent relationships on adolescent adjustment (i.e., prosocial behavior, aggression, depressive symptoms) both directly and indirectly ( via emotion regulation). Scholars have posited that regulation (ER) may serve as an underlying mechanism in link between parenting adjustment. Supportive openness, acceptance, emotional responsiveness) be a key socialization influencing ER. Methods sample...
