Parenting style patterns and their longitudinal impact on mental health in abused and nonabused adolescents
These findings highlight the beneficial association of supportive parenting and the detrimental effects of negative, ambiguous, and absent parenting. This also suggests that we must consider a more complex approach that involves examining a blend of different parenting styles when analyzing adolescent mental health

Studying individual Development in An interindividual Context
During the last decade there has been increased awareness of the limitations of standard approaches to the study of development. When the focus is on variables and relationships, the individual is easily lost. This book describes an alternative, person-oriented approach in which the focus is on the individual as a functioning whole. The authors take as their theoretical starting points the holistic-interactionistic research paradigm expounded by …

Aspects of the Development of a Career Versus Homemaking Orientation Among Females
In this article, we propose that, among females, high educational motivation in adolescence is related to a young adult orientation toward career whereas low educational motivation in adolescence is related to a young adult orientation toward homemaking. It is further hypothesized that, particularly for adolescents with low educational motivation, initial orientation is affected by the differential influences of nonconventional peer types: older …
Stability and Change in Criminal Behaviour Up to Age 30
The issue of stability and change in criminal behaviour was investigated using data for registered crime obtained in a Swedish prospective, longitudinal research project. Criminal activity among 709 males was investigated for three time periods: childhood (up to age 14), adolescence (from age 15 to age 20), and early adulthood (age 21–30). The Spearman correlation coefficient, reflecting the stability of registered criminal activity, was 0.40 bet…
Biological maturation in adolescence and the development of drinking habits and alcohol abuse among young males
Peer Influences on Adolescent Drinking
Using a longitudinal sample of Swedish midadolescents, variations from the normal transition into regular drinking habits were proposed to be linked to particular types of peer relationships. The interpersonal ecology for variations from the age-normative patterns was assumed to be the association with younger, older, or full-time working peers. As predicted, analyses for midadolescent males and females (N = 1,012) at age 14 years showed that hav…
Criminal Activity at Different Ages
This study provides basic information about criminal activity at different ages (with offence data collected from official records) for a representative group of Swedish males and females who were investigated, from the age of 10 to 30, in a longitudinal research programme. It details information about the subject population, the method by which crime records were collected, and the coding system used. Prevalence of criminal offences at different…
Type A behavior
In a longitudinal study of a sample of Swedish males and females (n = 170), Type A-related behavior at age 13 was related to the scores on an abbreviated Type A scale based on JAS which was administered when the same subjects were 27 years old. Aggression, Motor Hyperactivity, Overambition, and Overachievement measured at age 13 were used as predictors in a multiple regression analysis, with Type A score at age 27 as the dependent variable. The f…

Longitudinal stability of personality characteristics1
An empirical study, based on a longitudinal sample of approximately 1,000 boys and girls, investigated whether ratings of personality traits show longitudinal stability. A reformulation of the Campbell and Fiske (1959) multitrait-multimethod criteria in terms of stability across time was employed to give a more profound analysis of longitudinal stability. The results point to considerable stability across a period of three years (from 10 to 13 ye…
Stability of cross-situational patterns of behavior
Overachievement and Catecholamine Excretion in an Achievement-Demanding Situation
We have studied the relationship between overachievement (defined as high school achievement in relation to intelligence) and catecholamine output (adrenaline and noradrenaline). The subjects were 176 children aged 13 yr. Adrenaline and noradrenaline excretions were measured in (1) a neutral situation (attending a nonexciting film), and (2) in an achievement-demanding situation. In the achievement-demanding situation, overachieving boys had much …

Toward an interactional psychology of personality
Four basic models in personality research (trait psychology, psychodynamics, situationism, and interactionsim) are reviewed and compared with respect to (a) types of laws sought, (b) determinants of behavior, (c) units of analysis, (d) the consistency vs specificity issue, (e) ontogenetic development of behavior, and (f) research strategies and populations sampled. An analysis of the controversy between the trait model and the interactional model…
Dimensions of Stressful Situations
The congruence between two different approaches for the isolation of situational dimensions was studied. For each of the two approaches, data were obtained from an inventory consisting of 24 stressful situations. In the first study (the response analytical approach), 77 youn male Ss rated the unpleasantness of each of the stressful situations. A principal components analysis was employed for the isolation of the situational factors. In the second…
Anxiety Profiles Based on Both Situational and Response Factors
It was argued that a comprehensive picture of an individual's anxiety pattern could be obtained by taking into account different types of anxiety reactions and different categories of stressful situations reacted to. An anxiety inventory utilizing these two factors was analyzed with regard to the anxiety profiles of different subgroups of 116 adolescents. The original situation and response scales were categorized on the basis of factor analyses,…
Perceptions of and reactions to stressful situations
Two approaches to the study of the psychological significance of situations were compared, one using data for individuals' perceptions of situations and the other using data for individuals' reactions to situations. Perception and reaction data for 40 subjects were used for multidimensional classification of 12 situations, which were selected so as to cover four different types of stressful situations. For three of the a priori groupings of situa…
An Analysis of Situational Dimensions
An analysis of individuals' perceptions of situations was performed and confirmed the main results obtained in an earlier study by Magnusson (1971). Ss gave similarity ratings of situakions from a specific domain. A dimensional analysis and a categorization were mad on data. The method showed good agreement. Stability over time in factor structure was high as well as the agreement between individual structures. The analyses gave a clear and subje…

The Generality of Behavioral Data Ii
In two experiments previously reported the effect was studied of variation of task and group composition on ratings of behavior based on observation of individuals in group situations. The experiment reported here was planned as a replication of one of these studies. The main results of the two previous experiments were completely confirmed: When the situation variation encompassed both task and group com- position simultaneously the relationship…
The Generality of Behavioral Data I
The results of two experiments designed to study the generalization potential in behavioral data are reported. Both experiments investigated the effect of variation of task and group composition on ratings of behavior based on direct observation of individuals in group situations. Experiment I under- took ratings of military conscripts and Experiment II undertook ratings of children seven years of age. One main result was obtained common to both …
The Generality of Behavioral Data Iii
In a series of experiments the effect has been studied of variation of group composition and task on ratings of behavior based on oberservation of individuals in group situations. In the experiment reported here the generality of such ratings was studied as a function of the number of observation instances, when the situational conditions are varied with regard to group competition and task
A Psychophysical Approach to the Study of Personality Traits
A total of 366 school children were rated by 12 teachers in respect of 11 personality traits. In a laboratory experiment, a group of 10 teachers estimated the degree of perceived similarity between the same traits. In a second laboratory experiment, estimates were obtained of the frequency with which the traits occur together. It was found that similarity of traits was proportional to the squared coefficient of inter-trait ccmelation. A similar r…
Predictive Efficiency as a Function of Amount of Information
The effect of changing the amount of information on judges' predictive efficiency in a clinical prediction task was studied. Thirty judges predicted 30 students' average achievement scores on the basis of different amount of test data. One group of judges had information about the intercorrelations among the tests and the ecologkal validity of the tests. Another group of judges had only informahion about which tests were used. The predictive effi…
