Like Father, Like Son? Predicting Male Adolescents' Adjustment from Parents' Distress and Self-Restraint.
D'Angelo, Lori L.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v31 n6 p883-96 Nov 1995
Mothers' and fathers' subjective distress and self-restraint when their sons were preadolescents were related to 14 measures of sons' outcomes 4 years later. Subjects were 82 adolescent boys. Sons of fathers prone to low self-restraint were uniformly found to have subsequent difficulties across domains, including poor academic achievement, poor peer relations, risk behaviors, and adjustment problems.
