Toward a comprehensive model of antisocial development: A dynamic systems approach.
The purpose of this article is to develop a preliminary comprehensive model of antisocial development based on dynamic systems principles. The model is built on the foundations of behavioral research on coercion theory. First, the authors focus on the principles of multistability, feedback, and nonlinear causality to reconceptualize real-time parent-child and peer processes. Second, they model the mechanisms by which these real-time processes giv…
Changes in maternal ratings of children's overt and covert antisocial behavior
Maternal ratings of overt and covert forms of aggression were collected for two samples of children ranging in age from 2 through 12 years. It was hypothesized that longitudinal analyses would show the slope scores for these two forms of aggression to be quite different from each other. The data were consistent with this hypothesis. An effort was made to find alternative explanations for the negative slope for overt antisocial behavior. Alternati…
The Contributions of Ineffective Discipline and Parental Hostile Attributions of Child Misbehavior to the Development of Conduct Problems at Home and School
Data were collected in a longitudinal study of 134 boys and 132 girls and their families during kindergarten and first grade. Four hours of parent-child interaction were coded to ascertain parent discipline practices. A structured interview assessed maternal attributions about child behavior. Maternal ratings of child conduct problems at kindergarten entry reliably predicted the mother's subsequent hostile attributions concerning child misbehavio…
Longitudinal analysis of flexibility and reorganization in early adolescence: A dynamic systems study of family interactions
A dynamic systems (DS) approach was used to study changes in the structure of family interactions during the early adolescent transition period. Longitudinal observational data were collected in 5 waves prior to, during, and after the transition. Boys (n = 149 families) were videotaped problem solving with their parents at 9-10 years old and every 2 years thereafter until they were 18 years old State space grids (a new DS method) were constructed…

Adolescent Growth in New Forms of Problem Behavior: Macro- and Micro-Peer Dynamics
Continuities--A search for causal mechanisms: Comment on the special section
The findings of the 8 empirical articles in this special section make a convincing case for cross-generation continuities. It is proposed that parenting practices may serve as a mechanisms that accounts for these stabilities. Both biological and social interactional variables are examined as potential explanations for how this effect might come about.

Depression and Aggression in Family Interaction
Parent and Teacher Ratings in the Assessment and Prediction of Antisocial and Delinquent Behaviors
Subjects consisted of a sample of two cohorts of approximately 100 boys each whose behaviors were rated by their parents and teachers. Criterion variables included antisocial behavior, based on parent, child, teacher, and interviewer reports, and delinquency, based on parent and child reports in addition to cumulative arrest data taken from juvenile court records. The data suggest that mothers are focused on the daily, irritating behaviors of the…
A performance model for academic achievement in early adolescent boys
This study tests a model for conduct-related school failure in young adolescent boys. In this model, family characteristics and child antisocial behavior serve as predictors of school adjustment and academic performance. Ss were 206 youths and their families, followed from the 4th through 8th grades. Results indicated that low parental academic achievement was associated with ineffective discipline practices and child antisocial behavior in the 6…

Parenting, peers, and the stability of antisocial behavior in preadolescent boys
This study examined the linkages between parental discipline practices, peer relationships, and antisocial behavior in a 2-year longitudinal study (N=206) of preadolescent boys (aged 9-10 at first assessment). Structural equation models were used to estimate the stability of parenting, peer relations, and antisocial constructs, and their effects on each other
Relation of parental transitions to boys' adjustment problems: I. A linear hypothesis: II. Mothers at risk for transitions and unskilled parenting
The purpose of this article is two-fold. First, the hypothesis that the relation of parental transitions to boys' adjustment problems is cumulative and linear is tested. Having established this relationship, the authors examined a process model that attempts to account for the association between parental transitions and boys' adjustment
Family, school, and behavioral antecedents to early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers
This study focuses on the prediction of early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers from boys' experiences in school, family, and behavior at age 10. Two hundred and six boys and their families were assessed at school, interviewed, observed in the home, and then followed up at age 12

Parental Management: Mediator of the Effect of Socioeconomic Status on Early Delinquency
This study used structural equation modeling with longitudinal data from the Oregon Youth Study to test the hypothesis that the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on delinquency in early adolescence would be mediated entirely by parental management skills. SES was measured by parental education and occupation when the son was in the fourth grade, parental management skills during the sixth grade, and delinquency during the seventh grade. The hy…

Contributions of Families and Peers to Delinquency
A model is presented that explains the contribution of parents and peers to adolescent delinquent behavior. It is hypothesized that during adolescence a failure in Parent Monitoring and deficits in Social Skills increase the likelihood that a youngster associates with Deviant Peers. Poor Parent Monitoring Deviant Peers, and low levels of Academic Skills are hypothesized to contribute directly to an adolescent's engagement in delinquent behavior, …
The Correlation of Family Management Practices and Delinquency
Family-management skills of parents of seventh- and tenth-grade boys were related to each of 2 criterion measures of delinquency: police contacts and self-reported delinquency. The measures of family-management skills were monitoring, discipline, problem solving, and reinforcement. The measures of parent monitoring and discipline were shown to correlate significantly with both criterion measures. The monitoring score accounted for the most varian…

Interpersonal Skills Training for Couples in Early Stages of Conflict
This report outlines the initial phase in the development of a set of intervention techniques, and their accompanying assessment procedures. Training procedures for skills in negotiating behavior changes were designed to alleviate marital conflicts in 10 moderately distressed couples. Two sets of criteria were used to evaluate the outcome. The data showed significant changes in behavior for comparison of baseline and termination measures of probl…

Family interaction: A process model of deviancy training
A model was presented describing the reciprocal influence of disruptions in parent discipline practices on irritable exchanges between the target child and other family members. Disrupted parent discipline and irritable microsocial exchanges within the family were hypothesized to provide a basic training for aggression that generalizes to other settings such that the child is identified by peers, teachers, and parents as physically aggressive. Ph…
