This study examined how parenting factors were associated with adolescent problem behaviors among urban minority youth and to what extent these relationships were moderated by family structure and gender. Sixth-grade students (N = 228) reported how often they use alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or engage in aggressive or delinquent behaviors; a parent or guardian reported their monitoring and other parenting practices. Findings indicated that boys and those from single-parent families engaged in the highest rates of problem behavior. More parental monitoring was associated with less delinquency overall, as well as less drinking in boys only. Eating family dinners together was associated with less aggression overall, as well as less delinquency in youth from single-parent families and in girls. Unsupervised time at home alone was associated with more smoking for girls only. Implications for prevention interventions are discussed.
本研究考察了养育因素如何与城市少数族裔青少年的问题行为相关联，以及这些关系在多大程度上受到家庭结构和性别的调节。六年级学生（N = 228）报告了他们饮酒、吸烟或参与攻击性行为或违法行为的频率；父母或监护人报告了他们的监督及其他养育方式。研究结果表明，男孩以及来自单亲家庭的青少年出现问题行为的比率最高。更多的父母监督总体上与较少的违法行为相关，且仅与男孩较少饮酒相关。一起吃家庭晚餐总体上与较少的攻击行为相关，且与单亲家庭青少年及女孩较少的违法行为相关。独自在家无人监管的时间仅与女孩较多吸烟相关。文中讨论了对预防干预措施的启示。
