Family Processes and Problem Behaviors in Middle-Class African American Adolescents.

Smetana, Judith G.; Crean, Hugh F.; Daddis, Christopher

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v12 n2 p275-304 2002

This study examined the joint association between mothers' and adolescents' ratings of parental behavioral control, and adolescents' and observers' ratings of mother-adolescent communication with adolescent problem behaviors. Findings demonstrate the utility of conceptually distinguishing between parenting and parent-adolescent relationships, and suggest that both have unique influences on middle-class African-American adolescents' problem behavior.
