An investigation into the interplay of substance use and prosocial tendencies on college students’ psychological adjustment
The association between mothering behaviors and empathy in European-American and Asian-American emerging adults
Parent-Adolescent Relationship Quality, Ethnic Identity, and Romantic Attachment in Asian American Emerging Adults
Given increasing diversity in the U.S., ethnocultural differences in identity formation need exploration. We use attachment theory to understand the associations among ethnic identity, parent-adolescent relationship quality, and romantic attachment quality. We examined emerging adults’ perceived relationship quality with parents during their adolescence in relation to current ethnic identity strength and romantic attachment avoidance and anxiety …

Relations among Early Adolescents' Parent-Adolescent Attachment, Perceived Social Competence, and Friendship Quality
To assess whether the relation between attachment and friendship quality may be explained by social competence, 113 students in Grades 7 and 8 from the Baltimore metropolitan area completed self-report questionnaires on the variables of interest. In hierarchical regression analyses, both maternal Affective Quality of Attachment and the interaction of School with paternal Affective Quality of Attachment predicted social competence. Also, the inter…

Predictors of parenting among African American single mothers
Guided by family stress theory, relations among neighborhood stress, maternal psychological functioning, and parenting were examined among 123 low-income, urban-dwelling, African American single mothers. Using a longitudinal design, structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypothesis that neighborhood stress results in poorer parenting over time through its detrimental effect on maternal psychological functioning. Social support from…

Family Communication About Sex
CONTEXT: Communication between parents and adolescents about sex, particularly in minority families, has been understudied; more information is needed both on which sex-related topics are discussed and on how their content is transmitted. METHODS: Parent-adolescent communication about 10 sex-related topics was examined in a sample of 907 Hispanic and black 14-16-year-olds. Chi-square analyses were performed to test for significant differences acr…
