Parenting across borders
Objective This study explores the parenting experiences of transnational parents from three English‐speaking Caribbean countries: Grenada, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. Background While transnational parenting has been well studied in other contexts, research on Caribbean parents remains limited, underscoring the need for further exploration into the experiences of these families. Method Ten parents (six mothers and four fathers) participated…
Purpose
Working parents often report difficulties in establishing optimal work–family balance, and such difficulties tend to yield poorer parent well‐being, parenting quality, and child well‐being. Despite advances in understanding of the long‐lasting and multifaceted benefits of purpose in life, up to this point, scant attention has been given to the concept of purpose as a practical means for promoting better parent well‐being and parenting quality, wh…
Maternal closeness, kinship ties, and future orientation among rural African American youth
INTRODUCTION: Few studies have considered the importance of kin or extended family relationships on future orientation. Additionally, some of the underlying processes linking social bonds to future orientation remain poorly understood. Based on theoretical work focused on attachment and identity, this study tested the potential mediating effects of ethnic identity on the links between close relationships (maternal closeness and kinship ties) and …
Family environment and school engagement
INTRODUCTION: Although an extensive body of work has shown that family functioning is linked to adolescent outcomes, less is known about how the family affects school outcomes and vice versa. The present longitudinal study tested reciprocal relationships between the family environment and school engagement during the middle school years. METHODS: A cross-lagged latent model tested these effects in 378 Turkish youth (53.7% males; M = 11.73, SD = 0…
Parental and kinship ties, and low self‐control
INTRODUCTION: A substantial body of research supports both social control and self-control theories in explaining violent or deviant behaviors. Most previous work has focused on the links between family ties or bonds and deviance, along with low self-control. A potentially untested and overlooked bond is the extended kinship network, particularly among African American youth. The current study tested the extent to which kinship ties explained uni…
Bidirectional Relationships Between Parenting Processes and Deviance in a Sample of Inner‐City African American Youth
The current study assessed for bidirectional relationships among supportive parenting (knowledge), negative parenting (permissiveness), and deviance in a sample ( N = 5,325) of poor, inner-city African American youth from the Mobile Youth Survey (MYS) over 4 years. Cross-lagged path analysis provided evidence of significant bidirectional paths among parenting processes (knowledge and permissiveness) and deviance over time. Follow-up multigroup te…
