The Impact of After-School Peer Contact on Early Adolescent Externalizing Problems Is Moderated by Parental Monitoring, Perceived Neighborhood Safety, and Prior Adjustment.
Pettit, Gregory S.; Bates, John E.; Dodge, Kenneth A.; Meece, Darrell W.
Child Development, v70 n3 p768-78 May-Jun 1999
Unsupervised after-school peer contact was examined as a risk factor in developing externalizing problems among early adolescents. Longitudinal findings showed that unsupervised peer contact, lack of neighborhood safety, and low monitoring incrementally predicted grade seven externalizing problems, after controlling for family background factors and grade six problems. The greatest risk was for unsupervised adolescents in low-monitoring homes and unsafe neighborhoods. (Author/KB)
