Examines parenting by temperament interactions in predicting child adjustment in first and second graders (N=40). Among children high in irritable distress, maternal psychological control was associated with internalizing problems and maternal hostility was associated with externalizing problems. Results offer evidence that the effects of negative parenting are accentuated for children with temperamental vulnerabilities. (JDM)
