Out-of-School Care of Young Adolescents and Self-Reported Behavior.
Galambos, Nancy L.; Maggs, Jennifer L.
Developmental Psychology, v27 n4 p644-55 Jul 1991
Sixth graders in adult care during out-of-school hours were contrasted with sixth graders in self-care. Results revealed no differences between adolescents in adult care and those in self-care at home. Girls in self-care who were more distant from adult supervision and lacking in parental acceptance and firm control reported more problem behavior. (SH)
