An Ecological Model of Externalizing Behaviors in African-American Adolescents: No Family Is an Island.

Mason, Craig A.; And Others

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v4 n4 p639-55 1994

Examined the utility of a 2-step ecological model in predicting externalizing behavior among 144 African American seventh and eighth graders. Found that parental work environment and parental social support had an indirect impact on externalizing by influencing the microsystem variables of parental warmth, parental use of restrictive control, and conflict within the family.
