Affirmative Parenting of Sexual and Gender Diverse Youth
Sexual and gender diverse youth (SGDY) face higher rates of internalizing problems than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Positive parent–child relationships are a central influence on the development of youth internalizing problems. Yet supportive parenting of SGDY is vastly understudied. Scholars have emphasized the need for improved measures of parenting SGDY, especially in terms of identity‐specific parental support. In this qualitative…
Digital location tracking in the parent/caregiver–college student dyad
INTRODUCTION: As college students navigate new developmental milestones, many families rely on digital technology to stay connected and aid in the transition to adulthood. Digital location tracking apps allow for parental monitoring in new ways that may have implications for youth development. Although recent research has begun to examine prevalence and motivations for digital location tracking in adolescence, we know little about how and why fam…
Parent strategies to help emerging adults manage stress are associated with their mental health
Emerging adults (EAs) are at high risk for mental health challenges and frequently reach out to their parents for support. Yet little is known about how parents help emerging adults manage and cope with daily stressors and which strategies help and which hinder EA mental health. In this cross‐sectional pilot study of students at a 2‐ and 4‐year college (ages 18–25, N = 680, mean age = 19.0), we extend models of dyadic coping from intimate relatio…
Protective effect of parental monitoring on early-to-mid adolescents displaying high-level and increasing aggressive behavior
Studies that distinguish parental monitoring (parent-driven behaviors) from parental knowledge often fail to find protective effects of monitoring on adolescent behavior problems. To answer whether parental monitoring is more strongly associated with adolescent behavior problems among adolescents who may need it most, this study applied group-based trajectory modeling to change in early- to mid-adolescent aggressive behavior problems and examined…
Is more information always better? Associations among parents’ online information searching, information overload, and self-efficacy
The internet constitutes an important platform for parents to find information. How online information searching is linked to parental self-efficacy (PSE)—defined as parents’ perceptions about their abilities to have a positive impact on their children—is still unknown. This two-wave study examined cross-lagged associations between PSE and parents’ online information searching, as well as the prospective effect of perceived information overload o…
Mothering versus fathering? Positive parenting versus negative parenting? Their relative importance in predicting adolescent aggressive behavior
To understand whose parenting (mothers vs. fathers) and which type of parenting (warmth vs. hostility) is more important in predicting adolescent aggression, this study applied dominance analysis to evaluate the relative importance of four different parenting dimensions (maternal hostility, paternal hostility, maternal warmth, and paternal warmth). Four waves of adolescent-reported longitudinal data from the PROSPER project ( N = 626, 52% adolesc…
Challenging Anti-Black Racism in HBSE
How do we challenge anti-Black racism within the social work curriculum? As a requirement of all BSW and MSW programs, Human Behavior and the Social Environment (HBSE) coursework provides students with foundational knowledge about human development that is essential to theory-driven social work practice. Traditionally, conceptions of human development center the experiences of white, heterosexual, cis-gender young people and label other identitie…
Longitudinal Within-Family Association Between Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Aggressive Behaviors
This study using PROSPER data ( N = 977, age 11.5 to age 15) investigated the longitudinal within-family associations between parent-reported parental monitoring and adolescent aggression. Importantly, this study is the first one to examine parent gender and adolescent gender differences on these within-family associations. Results differed between mothers and fathers. There was a negative, bidirectional within-family association between maternal…
Mindful Parenting and Parent Technology Use
Popular media attention and scientific research in both mindful parenting and technology use in the context of parenting has expanded in the 21st century; however, these two streams of research have largely evolved separately from one another. Thus, in this conceptual paper, we integrate the research on mindful parenting with that on parents' technology use and parenting to examine how parent technology use may impact or be linked with aspects of…
Does Adolescent Digital Technology Use Detract from the Parent–Adolescent Relationship
A population-representative sample of young adolescents (N = 2,104, mean age 12.4) reported on digital technology use and relationships in 2015. A subsample (N = 388) completed a 14-day ecological momentary assessment in 2016-2017 via mobile phone. Across the 2,104 adolescents, those who reported more social networking site engagement were more likely to live in families characterized by more family chaos and to report that their online experienc…
Longitudinal Discrepancy in Adolescent Aggressive Behavior Problems
Youth Internalizing Problems and Changes in Parent–Child Relationships Across Early Adolescence
Few longitudinal studies examine how changes in parent-child relationships are associated with changes in youth internalizing problems. In this longitudinal study, we investigated how developmental trends (linear change) and year-to-year lability (within-person fluctuations) in parental warmth and hostility across Grade 6-8 predict youth internalizing problems in Grade 9 ( N = 618) and whether these linkages differ for boys and girls. Development…
Hostile Interactions in the Family
In line with family systems theory, we examined patterns of hostile interactions within families and their associations with externalizing problems among early-adolescent children. Using hostility scores based on observational data of six dyadic interactions during a triadic interaction ( n = 462) (i.e., child-to-mother, mother-to-child, child-to-father, father-to-child, mother-to-father, father-to-mother)-Latent Profile Analysis supported three …
Child Effects on Lability in Parental Warmth and Hostility
Parenting Practices in Diverse Family Structures
This article explored the implications of diverse family structures on adolescents’ adjustment, with an emphasis on whether and, if so, how diverse family structures influence and predict developmental outcomes. Family relationships within the family unit are a stronger predictor of adolescents’ development than the particular family structure. Transitions in families that result in notable reductions in effective parenting practices and economic…
Bidirectional Relations Between Parenting and Behavior Problems From Age 8 to 13 in Nine Countries
This study used data from 12 cultural groups in nine countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States; N = 1,298) to understand the cross-cultural generalizability of how parental warmth and control are bidirectionally related to externalizing and internalizing behaviors from childhood to early adolescence. Mothers, fathers, and children completed measures when children were ages 8-13. Multipl…
A Developmental Perspective on Young Adult Romantic Relationships
Lability in the parent’s hostility and warmth toward their adolescent
According to family systems and life course theories, periods of intense change, such as early adolescence, can disrupt stable family systems, leading to changes in family relationships. In this longitudinal study, we investigate 2 types of change in parental hostility and warmth toward their children during early adolescence (Grades 6 to 8)-developmental trends (linear declines) and lability (within-person fluctuations around developmental trend…
Harnessing the strength of families to prevent social problems and promote adolescent well-being
Using Advanced Quantitative Methods to Study the Prevention of Social Problems
Social work has embraced prevention as one of its grand challenges—recognising the need to understand risk and protective factors for social problems that, if addressed, may prevent social disadvantage and mental health problems from occurring. To best study prevention, social workers must become fluent in understanding and using advanced methodologies that illuminate developmental processes, depict individual and subgroup differences, and rule o…

Understanding How Mindful Parenting May Be Linked to Mother–Adolescent Communication
Experiences With Parents and Youth Physical Health Symptoms and Cortisol
Using daily diary data, this study examined the associations between positive and negative parent-youth experiences and youth cortisol and physical health symptoms among a sample of adolescents ( N =132, Mean Age = 13.39). On days when girls reported more negative experiences than usual, they exhibited more physical health symptoms and flatter evening cortisol slopes than usual. Negative experiences with mothers were associated with higher dinner…
Youths’ Substance Use and Changes in Parental Knowledge-Related Behaviors During Middle School
Unpacking the Effect of Parental Monitoring on Early Adolescent Problem Behavior
This study explores the monitoring process longitudinally among a sample of rural early adolescents and addresses two research questions: (a) Does maternal knowledge mediate the relationship between three aspects of the parental monitoring process and adolescent problem behavior: active parent monitoring efforts, youth disclosure, and parental supervision? (b) Are these meditational pathways moderated by the affective quality of the parent-child …

Parental Knowledge and Youth Risky Behavior
A Dyadic Approach to Understanding the Relationship of Maternal Knowledge of Youths’ Activities to Youths’ Problem Behavior Among Rural Adolescents
Factors Influencing the Development of School Bonding Among Middle School Students
The goal of this research is to examine the trajectory of school bonding over the middle school period and how factors such as gender, substance use, antisocial peers, delinquent behavior, and academic achievement affect this developmental process. Data from 4 waves of measurement of 2,902 adolescents are analyzed using hierarchical growth curve modeling. Results suggest that school bonding decreases in a non-linear fashion from Grade 6-8. Howeve…

Child Effects on Lability in Parental Warmth and Hostility
The Timing of School Transitions and Early Adolescent Problem Behavior
This longitudinal study investigates whether rural adolescents who transition to a new school in sixth grade have higher levels of risky behavior than adolescents who transition in seventh grade. Our findings indicate that later school transitions had little effect on problem behavior between sixth and ninth grades. Cross-sectional analyses found a small number of temporary effects of transition timing on problem behavior: Spending an additional …
