Parents' Monitoring-Relevant Knowledge and Adolescents' Delinquent Behavior: Evidence of Correlated Developmental Changes and Reciprocal Influences.
Laird, Robert D.; Pettit, Gregory S.; Bates, John E.; Dodge, Kenneth A.
Child Development, v74 n3 p752-68 May-Jun 2003
Examined links between parental knowledge and adolescent delinquent behavior for correlated rates of developmental change and reciprocal associations from age 14 to 18. Found that parent knowledge was negatively correlated with delinquent behaviors at age 14 and knowledge increases over time were negatively correlated with increases in parent-reported delinquent behavior. Low parental knowledge predicted increases in delinquent behavior, and high delinquent behavior levels predicted knowledge decreases. (Author/KB)
