Contextual Amplification of Pubertal Transition Effects on Deviant Peer Affiliation and Externalizing Behavior among African American Children.
Ge, Xiaojia; Brody, Gene H.; Conger, Rand D.; Simons, Ronald L.; Murry, Velma McBride
Developmental Psychology, v38 n1 p42-54 Jan 2002
Examined effects of the pubertal transition on behavior problems and its interaction with family and neighborhood circumstances in 10- to 12-year-old African Americans. Found that early-maturing youth living in disadvantaged neighborhoods were more likely to affiliate with deviant peers. Early-maturing youth experiencing harsh, inconsistent parenting were more likely to have externalizing problems. (Author/KB)
