This study examined parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment in relation to ethnicity (African American,
Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic), parental education, children’s academic performance, and parental perceptions of the quality
and climate of their children’s school with a sample of 13,577 middle and high school parents. All parents had relatively
high educational aspirations for their children, and within each ethnic subgroup, parental education and children’s academic
performance were significantly and positively related to parental aspirations. However, moderating effects were found such
that Caucasian parents with lower levels of education had significantly lower educational aspirations for their children than
did parents of other ethnicities with similar low levels of education. Although the strength of the relationship between parental
perceptions of school-related factors and parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment was not strong,
it was most predictive of non-Caucasian parental aspirations for their children.

Parental Smoking-specific Communication,Adolescents’ Smoking Behavior and Friendship Selection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rebecca N. H. de Leeuw Ron H. J. Scholte Zeena Harakeh Jan F. J. van Leeuwe Rutger C. M. E. Engels 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(10):1229-1241
In this study, we investigated whether parental smoking-specific communication is related to adolescents’ friendship-selection
processes. Furthermore, we investigated whether adolescents and their best friends influence each other over time, and what
role parents play in this process. In the present study we used data from the Family and Health project in which at baseline
428 full families participated. In this 2-year, three-wave longitudinal study data were available from fathers, mothers, early
adolescents (aged M = 13.4 years, SD = .50), and middle adolescents (aged M = 15.2 years, SD = .60). The majority of the participating adolescents were of Dutch origin (>95%). There was an almost equal distribution
of boys and girls, and adolescents with lower, middle, and higher educational levels were equally represented. Analyses were
conducted by means of Structural Equation Modeling. Results demonstrate that a high quality of the smoking-specific communication
is related to a lower likelihood of adolescent smoking, whereas the frequency is positively associated with adolescent smoking.
Both the quality and frequency of parental smoking-specific communication were related to adolescents’ selective affiliation
with (non-)smoking friends. The findings suggest that parental smoking-specific communication is associated with adolescent
smoking directly but also indirectly by influencing the friends the adolescents will associate with.

Despite the salience of behavioral autonomy and independence to parent–child interactions during middle adolescence, little is known about parenting processes pertinent to youth autonomy development for Latino families. Among a diverse sample of 684 Latino-origin parent–adolescent dyads in Houston, Texas, this study examines how parents’ cultural orientations are associated directly and indirectly, through parental beliefs, with parenting practices giving youth behavioral autonomy and independence. Informed by social domain theory, the study’s parenting constructs pertain to youth behaviors in an “ambiguously personal” domain—activities that adolescents believe are up to youth to decide, but which parents might argue require parents’ supervision, knowledge, and/or decision-making. Results for latent profile analyses of parents’ cultural identity across various facets of acculturation indicate considerable cultural heterogeneity among Latino parents. Although 43 % of parents have a Latino cultural orientation, others represent Spanish-speaking/bicultural (21 %), bilingual/bicultural (15 %), English-speaking/bicultural (15 %), or US (6 %) cultural orientations. Structural equation modeling results indicate that bilingual/bicultural, English-speaking/bicultural, and US-oriented parents report less emphasis on the legitimacy of parental authority and younger age expectations for youth to engage in independent behaviors than do Latino-oriented parents. Parental beliefs endorsing youth’s behavioral independence and autonomy, in turn, are associated with less stringent parental rules (parental report), less parental supervision (parental and youth report), and more youth autonomy in decision-making (parental and youth report). Evidence thus supports the idea that the diverse cultural orientations of Latino parents in the US may result in considerable variations in parenting processes pertinent to Latino adolescents’ development. 相似文献

Few studies have examined both maternal and paternal parenting practices in the prediction of child outcomes despite evidence that underscores the salience of fathers throughout their children’s development. This study examined the role of the quality of mother–child and father–child relationships in buffering the influence of ineffective parenting practices on subsequent adolescent aggression. Measures of parental psychological control, the quality of the parent–child relationship, and youth aggressive behavior were completed by 163 (49 % female) mostly White and Asian adolescents and their parents during the eighth and ninth grades. Paternal psychological control predicted aggression when adolescents perceived low-quality relationships with their mothers. Similarly, maternal psychological control predicted aggression when adolescents perceived low-quality relationships with their fathers. Maternal psychological control was also associated with lower levels of aggression among adolescent males who reported a high-quality relationship with their father. These findings indicate that, when one parent exerts psychological control, the low-quality relationship the adolescent shares with the opposite gender parent increases risk for adolescent aggression. The findings also suggest that, as mothers exert psychological control, the high-quality parent–child relationship a son shares with his father decreases risk for adolescent aggression. 相似文献

Previous findings have shown both beneficial and adverse effects of parents’ attempts to influence adolescents’ eating habits.
The current study examined the differential effect of parents’ persuasion (e.g., encouragement, giving information) and pressure
tactics (e.g., guilt induction, ridicule) and the moderating influence of parental warmth on older adolescents’ emotional
and behavioral responses. An ethnically diverse sample of 336 older adolescents (M age = 18.6; SD = 1.1; 58.0% female) were surveyed. Adolescents who reported higher levels of pressure tactics by parents reported more negative
affect and behavioral resistance. Perceived parental warmth moderated the influence of persuasion tactics, but not pressure
tactics. For adolescents with low parental warmth, high levels of persuasion were associated with more negative emotional
and behavioral responses; persuasion had the opposite associations for adolescents with high parental warmth. These results
suggest that parental warmth plays an important role in how older adolescents respond to parents’ persuasion tactics. However,
when parents use more forceful pressure tactics to influence eating habits, adolescents react negatively regardless of the
overall quality of the parent–adolescent relationship. 相似文献

Parent-child acculturation discrepancy has been considered a risk factor for child maladjustment. The current study examined parent-child acculturation discrepancy as an ongoing risk factor for delinquency, through the mediating pathway of parental knowledge of the child's daily experiences relating to contact with deviant peers. Participants were drawn from a longitudinal project with 4 years between data collection waves: 201 Chinese immigrant families participated at Wave 1 (123 girls and 78 boys) and 183 families (110 girls and 73 boys) participated at Wave 2. Based on the absolute difference in acculturation levels (tested separately for Chinese and American orientations) between adolescents and parents, one parent in each family was assigned to the "more discrepant" group of parent-child dyads, and the other parent was assigned to the "less discrepant" group of parent-child dyads. To explore possible within-family variations, the mediating pathways were tested separately among the more and less discrepant groups. Structural equation modeling showed that the proposed mediating pathways were significant only among the more discrepant parent-adolescent dyads in American orientation. Among these dyads, a high level of parent-child acculturation discrepancy is related to adolescent perceptions of less parental knowledge, which is related to adolescents having more contact with deviant peers, which in turn leads to more adolescent delinquency. This mediating pathway is significant concurrently, within early and middle adolescence, and longitudinally, from early to middle adolescence. These findings illuminate some of the dynamics in the more culturally discrepant parent-child dyad in a family and highlight the importance of examining parent-child acculturation discrepancy within family systems. 相似文献

The current study, using data from 374 African American students (59.4% female) in grades 7–12 attending a rural, southern
county public school, addressed associations of self-efficacy, ethnic identity and parental support with “future education
orientation.” Both gender and current level of achievement distinguished adolescents with differing levels of future education
orientation. The strongest predictors of future education orientation were self-efficacy, ethnic identity and maternal support.
Gender did not moderate these associations. Implications for future research include the need to conduct longitudinal studies
and research that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to elucidate further the nature and importance of future
education orientation for African American youth. Also needed are policies and programs that facilitate school bonding and
academic performance, as are efforts that focus specifically on enhancing the future education orientation and academic success
of African American male adolescents.

This study of early adolescents from the general population examined the direction of effects adolescents’ depressive symptoms,
aggression, and perceived parental rejection have on one another in a longitudinal study. Over a four-year period, data were
collected yearly from 940 early adolescents (50.6% boys and 49.4% girls) who completed self-report questionnaires of depressive
symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and perceived parental rejection. The longitudinal relationships of adolescent reported depressive
symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection were tested in multi-group structural equation models. The findings
of this study demonstrate that adolescents’ depressive symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection can be viewed
as two unidirectional effects models that work in tandem: adolescents’ depressive symptoms longitudinally predicting perceived
parental rejection and, in turn, perceived parental rejection longitudinally predicting adolescents’ aggression. Additionally,
the strength of these effects diminished as the adolescents grew older and the effects were similar for both adolescent boys
and girls.

As a community-based sanction, juvenile probation exemplifies the potential of both communities and families to make significant contributions in promoting positive changes among offending youth. Yet, surprisingly little research has explored the nature of these relationships and its association with offending. This study (1) examined the associations between youth–officer relationships, youth perceptions of parental support and knowledge, and probation non-compliance and (2) explored the role of parental support and knowledge as moderators of the association between youth–officer relationships and probation non-compliance among 110 youth supervised on probation (23 % females; 60 % African American). The findings showed that tough or punitive youth–officer relationships were associated with greater counts of technical violations, but fewer counts of delinquent offenses. Parental support was associated with fewer counts of delinquent offenses and parental knowledge was associated with fewer counts of both delinquent offenses and technical violations. These findings provide evidence to the important role of both parents and probation officers and underscore the potential benefits of parent–officer collaboration in facilitating successful interventions among offending youth. 相似文献

Despite a growing body of research on parental management of peer relationships, little is known about the relationship between
parental management of peers and early adolescents’ social skills or the precursors to parental management of peer relationships.
The goals of this short-term longitudinal investigation were to examine the relationship between parental management of peers
(consulting and guiding), conflict about peers, and adolescents’ social skills (cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy,
and self-control) and to examine potential precursors (goals of improving peer relationships and beliefs about authority over
peer relationships) to parental management of peer relationships. A predominantly White sample (71%) of 75 seventh-graders
(57% female) and their primary caregivers participated in the 9-month investigation. Caregivers completed questionnaires regarding
goals of improving their adolescents’ peer relationships, beliefs about parental authority over peer relationships, parental
management of peers, and adolescents’ social skills. Adolescents completed questionnaires regarding their social skills. Path
analyses suggest that a greater number of caregivers’ goals of improving peer relationships and higher beliefs about parental
authority over peers were related to higher levels of consulting, guiding, and conflict about peers. Higher levels of conflict
about peers in conjunction with higher levels of consulting were related to lower levels of assertion and responsibility in
peer relationships over time. When parents reported having a greater number of goals of improving peer relationships, adolescents
reported higher levels of cooperation, assertion, empathy, and self control over time. Findings suggest that caregivers’ goals
and beliefs are important in predicting parental management of peer relationships and adolescents’ social skills over time,
and that conflict about peers undermines caregivers’ efforts to be positively involved in adolescents’ peer relationships. 相似文献

Although several concerns surround the transition to adulthood and youth increasingly rely on parental support, our knowledge about the implications of parental support for youth development and transition to adulthood is limited. This study fills this gap by conceptualizing development within a life course perspective that links social inequality and early life course transitions. It draws on a subsample of youth observed between age 18 and 28 from the Transition to Adulthood supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics 2005–2015 (N?=?7,542; 53% female, 51.3% white). Mixed-effects models reveal that the more direct financial transfers youth receive, the higher their occupational status. Yet, indirect financial support parents offer through co-residence shows the opposite pattern. Among youth receiving monetary transfers, college graduates have particularly high occupational status; however, among youth living with their parents, college graduates have the lowest occupational status. Although different types of parental support may equally act as safety nets, their divergent implications for youths’ occupational attainment raise concerns about the reproduction and possible intensification of inequality during this developmental stage. 相似文献

Following a Consultation exercise conducted by the Lord Chancellor's Department, the U.K. Government has announced its intention to amend the Children Act 1989 so that the unmarried father who jointly registers the birth with the mother will acquire parental responsibility automatically. In this paper, I draw on the responses made to the L.C.D. Consultation, in order critically to evaluate the arguments for and against reform. A poverty of relevant empirical research makes it impossible to reach a properly informed view on the positive or negative impacts of implementing the proposal. However, the principled arguments: that unmarried fathers and their children are subject to discrimination, or that it is unfair for men to pay child support, yet have no automatic rights with regard to their children, are ultimately unconvincing. I also attempt a more explicitly sociological exploration of the Consultation and reform process, focusing on what it can tell us about evolving social attitudes towards the statuses of `father' and `family' and how they should be valued and protected. 相似文献

Studies with adults of social dominance orientation (SDO), a preference for inequality among social groups, have found correlations
with various prejudices and support for discriminatory practices. This study explores the construct among adolescents at an
age when they are beginning to recognize the social groups in their environment, particularly adolescent crowds. The relationship
of SDO and perceptions of parents’ responsiveness and demandingness were also investigated. Subjects were in grades 9–12 (N = 516, 53% female, 96% White). Mother’s and father’s responsiveness significantly predicted adolescent’s SDO scores, with
greater perceived responsiveness associated with lower SDO. To analyze the multiple crowd memberships of the 76% belonging
to more than one crowd, two-step cluster analysis was used to identify patterns, resulting in 8 clusters of distinct, heterogeneous
composition. SDO differed significantly among males in different clusters, but not females. The importance of membership was
positively associated with SDO among high-status crowds and negatively associated with SDO among the academic and normal crowds.
The findings have implications for prejudices that may be developing in adolescence and indicate a need for further research
into the social context of SDO and its development. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to gain a clearer understanding of the relation between parents’ knowledge of their emerging-adult
children and emerging adults’ risk behaviors. Participants included 200 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and
25 (121 women, 78 men; M
age = 19.59, SD = 1.62) and both of their parents. Results revealed that knowledge of the emerging-adult child’s activities varied as a function
of parent- and child-reports, and that child outcomes associated with parental knowledge were generally positive, including
less drinking, drug use, and risky sexual behavior (although this varied as a function of reporter). The links between maternal
knowledge and lower drug and alcohol use were particularly strong in the presence of maternal closeness. Implications for
understanding the parent–child relationship during the transition to adulthood were discussed.

Adolescents’ Reports of Parental Engagement and Academic Achievement in Immigrant Families 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of the effects of perceived parental engagement on adolescents’
academic achievement in immigrant families. Self-report data were collected from 1,245 adolescents in immigrant families from
four high schools in Los Angeles County. The sample characteristics follow: 13–16 years old (M = 14.5); 58.9% female, 41.1% male; 57.5% Latino; 40.6% 1st generation youth (i.e., foreign born), 59.4% 2nd generation youth.
After controlling for parental educational attainment, parental engagement variables were indirectly related to grades through
youths’ academic engagement. Multigroup SEM indicated some differences between genders, generational statuses, and ethnicities
(Latinos versus others). Adolescents’ perceptions of monitoring by mothers and fathers were indirectly related to grades through
academic engagement. Perceived educational advice by mothers was indirectly related to grades through academic engagement
for non-Latinos, boys, and 2nd generation youth. Perceived mothers’ schoolwork help was positively related to adolescents’
academic engagement in all the models (except 2nd generation youth), yet fathers’ schoolwork help was significant only for
girls and 2nd generation youth.

Two cross-sectional studies investigated media influences on adolescents’ substance use and intentions to use substances in
the context of exposure to parental and peer risk and protective factors. A total of 729 middle school students (n = 351, 59% female in Study 1; n = 378, 43% female in Study 2) completed self-report questionnaires. The sample in Study 1 was primarily African-American
(52%) and the sample in Study 2 was primarily Caucasian (63%). Across the two studies, blocks of media-related cognitions
made unique contributions to the prediction of adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future above and beyond self-reported peer and parental influences. Specifically, identification with and perceived similarity
to media messages were positively associated with adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future, and critical thinking about media messages and media message deconstruction skills were negatively associated with
adolescents’ intention to use substances in the future. Further, peer influence variables (e.g., peer pressure, social norms,
peer substance use) acted as risk factors, and for the most part, parental influence variables (e.g., parental pressure to
not use, perceived parental reaction) acted as protective factors. These findings highlight the importance of developing an
increased understanding of the role of media messages and media literacy education in the prevention of substance use behaviors
in adolescence. 相似文献

In comparison with its Nordic neighbours, the post-Soviet Estonia, with its fair share of deeply rooted gender stereotypes and dominant heteronormativity, does not live up to the dual earner/dual carer family model. Despite having developed a generous leave scheme modelled after the Nordic countries, the father's contribution to child-care remains almost non-existent, and progress towards equalizing the division of care has been slow. Using registry data, the current study shows that, in addition to fathers' low take-up of parental leave, when the father does take leave, this does not always result in the immediate employment of the mother. Without some role reversal, the impact of the father's leave remains even more limited. The study shows that the familization of fathers has less probability of leading to the defamilization of mothers if the mother was previously unemployed, of young age, or with four or more children. 相似文献
