Parents' Expectations for Preadolescent Sons' Behavioral Autonomy: A Longitudinal Study of Correlates and Outcomes.

Feldman, S. Shirley; Wood, Deborah N.

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v4 n1 p45-70 1994

Examined the nature and correlates of parents' expectations about adolescent sons' behavioral autonomy in a longitudinal study of 81 boys and their families, conducted when the boys were in 6th and 10th grade. Found that fathers' timetables for privileges at preadolescence predicted sons' midadolescent academic and social outcomes four years later, whereas mothers' timetables did not. (MDM)
