Gehörige Fortsetzung der Klage trotz mehrfachen Ersuchens des Klägers,mit der Fortsetzung zuzuwarten?

Die Verj?hrung wird durch die Erhebung der Klage nur unter der weiteren Voraussetzung unterbrochen, dass die Klage geh?rig fortgesetzt wird. Bei der Prüfung, ob ein l?ngeres Zuwarten mit der Fortsetzung der Verfolgung eines Anspruchs iSd § 1497 ABGB noch hingenommen werden kann oder eine ungew?hnliche Unt?tigkeit vorliegt, ist nicht nur auf die Dauer der Unt?tigkeit, sondern vor allem auf die Gründe Bedacht zu nehmen, die im Verh?ltnis zwischen den Parteien gelegen sein müssen. Ist dem Kl?ger nicht nur vorzuwerfen, eine ausstehende Prozesshandlung beim s?umigen Gericht nicht betrieben zu haben, sondern hat er durch Ersuchen und Stellungnahmen aktiv auf das Gericht eingewirkt, zuzuwarten und nicht von sich aus t?tig zu werden, so ist bei einem mehr als dreij?hrigen Verfahrensstillstand, der überdies nicht auf Betreiben des Kl?gers, sondern aufgrund amtswegiger T?tigkeit des Gerichts beendet wurde, jedenfalls von einer nicht geh?rigen Fortsetzung der Klage und daher von einer Verj?hrung des Anspruchs iSd § 1497 ABGB auszugehen.

Youth Development Outcomes of the Camp Experience: Evidence for Multidimensional Growth

Three thousand, three hundred and ninety-five families, whose child attended one of 80 different day or resident summer camps for at least one week, completed customized questionnaires that measured growth from precamp to postcamp in four domains: Positive Identity, Social Skills, Physical & Thinking Skills, and Positive Values & Spirituality. Parents, children, and camp staff reported significant positive change in these four domains; more than would be expected by maturation alone. Most gains were maintained or showed additional growth six months later. Few of the camp's structural elements correlated with growth, nor did striking gender, age, or ethnicity differences emerge. The study highlights the particular strengths of camp as an educational institution and social movement and suggests that different variations of summer camp can provide potent developmental experiences.

Parenting Behaviors,Association with Deviant Peers,and Delinquency in African American Adolescents: A Mediated-Moderation Model

The aim of the present study was to examine a model positing that association with deviant peers mediates the relation between adolescent perceived parenting behaviors (maternal monitoring and involvement), the interaction of these parenting behaviors, and delinquency in a sample of 135 urban African American adolescents (13–19 years of age). Regression analyses revealed a monitoring by involvement interaction among African American females, suggesting that maternal monitoring may effectively reduce delinquency among African American female adolescents, and that this reduction may be enhanced by increased maternal involvement. Among African American males, only the relation between association with deviant peers and delinquency was supported, suggesting that maternal parenting behaviors may, in isolation, be insufficient in the prevention of delinquent behaviors in African American male adolescents. The results suggest that the pathways from parenting to association with deviant peers and delinquency may differ in males and females, and the salience of certain parenting behaviors may differ across gender.

Socioenvironmental Risk and Adjustment in Latino Youth: The Mediating Effects of Family Processes and Social Competence

The direct and mediated effects of socioenvironmental risk on internalizing and externalizing problems among Latino youth aged 10–14 were examined using prospective analyses. Participants in this study were 464 Latino mother and child dyads surveyed as part of the Welfare, Children & Families: A Three City Study. It was hypothesized that socioenvironmental risk (i.e., maternal psychological distress, maternal parenting stress, neighborhood disadvantage, and perceived financial strain) would influence later adolescent adjustment by interrupting important family processes and interfering with opportunities for adolescents to develop appropriate social competence. Using path analyses, the mediational model was compared across high and low acculturation groups. With two exceptions, the models for the high and low acculturation groups were equivalent. Results supported a mediated effect between early socioenvironmental risk and later adjustment problems for the low acculturation group through family routines and adolescent social competence. Among families high in acculturation, socioenvironmental risk effects were partially mediated through family routines and adolescent social competence. Finally, a path from gender to maternal monitoring was present in the low acculturation group model but not the high acculturation group model.
