Parents "Do" Matter: Trajectories of Change in Externalizing and Internalizing Problems in Early Adolescence.
Galambos, Nancy L.; Barker, Erin T.; Almeida, David M.
Child Development, v74 n2 p578-94 Mar-Apr 2003
Examined relative influence of parenting behaviors (support, behavioral control, and psychological control) and deviant peers on trajectories of externalizing and internalizing problems in early adolescence. Found that parents' firm behavioral control seemed to halt the upward trajectory in externalizing problems among adolescents with deviant peers. Initial levels of internalizing problems were higher among adolescents with parents reporting lower levels of behavioral control and among adolescents with deviant peers. (Author/KB)
