Does Parenting Explain the Effects of Structural Conditions on Children's Antisocial Behavior? A Comparison of Blacks and Whites.

McLeod, Jane D.; And Others

Social Forces, v73 n2 p575-604 Dec 1994

Data on black children and white children over age six and their mothers (from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth) indicate no racial differences in total effects of poverty and single parenthood on parenting practices (affection and spanking). Parenting practices were reciprocally related to child's antisocial behavior for whites, but did not predict antisocial behavior for blacks. (120 references) (Author/SV)
