Family Check-Up Online effects on parenting and parent wellbeing in families of toddler to preschool-age children
Engagement in a brief preventive parenting intervention during the transition to kindergarten
Differential impact of the school context on ethnic and racial identity and depression for monoracial and multiracial early adolescents
These findings demonstrated the importance of examining school context and peer relationships in relation to ERI development and psychological wellbeing
Examining congruence in parent–teacher perceptions of middle school supports for students and families
The purpose of this study was to examine parent–teacher congruent perceptions of middle school structures to support parent monitoring of children's behavior. We examined family educational involvement and school's communication and support to families as predictors of congruence, as well as congruence as a predictor of children following school rules and expectations. Participants were 415 teachers and 5003 parents across 40 public middle school…
Pathways Between Alcohol Use and Internalizing Symptoms Across Emerging Adulthood
Pathways between alcohol use and internalizing symptoms, controlling for comorbid externalizing symptoms, within a sample of 593 ethnically diverse emerging adults (age 20–22; 49% female) collected between 2013 and 2018 in the United States were examined. Peer deviance and emotional disengagement were used to examine mediation between internalizing symptoms and alcohol use. Results demonstrate that alcohol and internalizing pathways varied across…
Parent Educational Involvement in Middle School
The present study examined influences of 6 th grade student-reported parent educational involvement on early adolescent peer group affiliations at 7 th and 8 th grade. In addition, student gender and ethnicity were explored as possible moderators. Drawn from a large effectiveness trial, participants in this study were 5,802 early adolescents across twenty middle schools in the Northwest region of the United States. Findings suggested that specifi…
Circle of Care
In the contemporary family, which is increasingly shaped by multicultural influences, parents rarely are the sole caretakers of their children. To improve understanding of family dynamics, researchers must redefine caregiving networks to include multiple caregivers, such as extended family members. This study explored the influences of caregiving networks on youth depression by examining who youths perceived as caretakers, how many caretakers wer…
Socialization of Culture and Coping with Discrimination Among American Indian Families
These findings point to the importance of integrating familial socialization of culture and coping with discrimination in fostering resilience among American Indian youth
Gender Differences in the Developmental Links Between Conduct Problems and Depression Across Early Adolescence
Various developmental models have attempted to explain the relationship between antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms in youth, often proposing intermediary processes such as social and academic functioning. However, few studies have tested these developmental models fully, particularly in mixed gender samples. The current study strives to fill this gap in the literature, examining these processes in an early adolescent sample. Results indi…
Peer Associations and Coping
This study sought to examine the relationship between coping strategies and prosocial and deviant peer associations for urban, African American adolescents. In addition, the study analyzed the mediating role of ethnic identity for coping strategies and peer associations. Results of the African American models were then compared with models for European American adolescents. Results indicated that African American and European American adolescents…
Family Relationships and Parental Monitoring During Middle School as Predictors of Early Adolescent Problem Behavior
The middle school years are a period of increased risk for youths’ engagement in antisocial behaviors, substance use, and affiliation with deviant peers (Dishion & Patterson, 2006 Dishion , T. J. , & Patterson , G. R. ( 2006 ). The development and ecology of antisocial behavior in children and adolescents . In D. Cicchetti & D. J. Cohen (Eds.), Developmental psychopathology: Vol. 3. Risk, disorder, and adaptation (pp. 503 – 541 ). New York , NY :…
Trajectories of family management practices and early adolescent behavioral outcomes
Stage-environment fit theory was used to examine the reciprocal lagged relations between family management practices and early adolescent problem behavior during the middle school years. In addition, the potential moderating roles of family structure and of gender were explored. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to describe patterns of growth in family management practices and adolescents' behavioral outcomes and to detect predictors of inter…
A longitudinal examination of early adolescence ethnic identity trajectories
Early adolescence is marked by transitions for adolescents, and is also a time for identity exploration. Ethnic identity is an essential component of youths' sense of self. In this study we examined the trajectories of ethnic identity for adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds during a 4-year period. Six latent class trajectories were identified in the study: the majority of adolescents (41.8%) displayed growth in ethnic identity over 4 yea…
Psychosocial Adjustment and Substance Use of Cambodian and Vietnamese Immigrant Youth
Southeast Asians living in the United States are a unique Asian immigrant population. They are considered one of the "newer" Asian immigrant groups, tend to be less affluent compared with their East and South Asian counterparts, and are steadily growing in number. Unfortunately, few studies have been conducted specifically about Southeast Asian immigrants. The lack of studies, coupled with the community's growing mental health issues, suggests th…
A Tobit Regression Analysis of the Covariation Between Middle School Students' Perceived School Climate and Behavioral Problems
This study uses an ecological framework to examine how adolescents' perceptions of school climate in 6th grade covary with the probability and frequency of their engagement in problem behaviors in 7th and 8th grades. Tobit analysis was used to address the issue of having a highly skewed outcome variable with many zeros and yet account for censoring. The 677 participating students from 8 schools were followed from 6(th) through 8(th) grade. The pr…

Placement Disruption in Treatment Foster Care
Rates of placement disruption in traditional and treatment foster care are reviewed. Contextual factors, individual child and caregiver characteristics, and risk factors thought to influence rates of placement disruption are explored. A model for treatment foster care is described, and data are presented on disruption rates for this program. The results indicated that the likelihood of placement disruption is two times higher during the first 6 m…
Parenting Practices and Child Disruptive Behavior Problems in Early Elementary School
Examined the hypothesis that distinct parenting practices may be associated with type and profile of a child's disruptive behavior problems (e.g., oppositional, aggressive, hyperactive). Parents of 631 behaviorally disruptive children described the extent to which they experienced warm and involved interactions with their children and the extent to which their discipline strategies were inconsistent and punitive and involved spanking and physical…

The Relation between Behavior Problems and Peer Preference in Different Classroom Contexts
This study tested two alternative hypotheses regarding the relations between child behavior and peer preference. The first hypothesis is generated from the person–group similarity model, which predicts that the acceptability of social behaviors will vary as a function of peer group norms. The second hypothesis is generated by the social skill model, which predicts that behavioral skill deficiencies reduce and behavioral competencies enhance peer …
The quality of sibling relationships and the development of social competence and behavioral control in aggressive children
To understand the relations between sibling interactions and the social adjustment of children with behavior problems, 53 aggressive 1st- and 2nd-grade children, their mothers, and their siblings were interviewed about positive and negative aspects of the sibling relationship. When conflict and warmth were considered together, 3 types of sibling dyads emerged: conflictual (high levels of conflict, low levels of warmth), involved (moderate levels …
