Manageability problems during early childhood for boys were hypothesized to disrupt parental discipline practices. In turn, disrupted parental discipline practices were hypothesized to interact with manageability problems during late childhood to predict change in antisocial behavior during the transition from elementary to middle school. Results indicated that maternal retrospective perceptions of unmanageability predicted observed maternal discipline practices, even when maternal antisocial behavior and depressed mood and the disruptive and antisocial behavior of the boy were statistically controlled. Graphical analyses and latent class growth models indicated that level of temper tantrums interacted with maternal discipline in predicting change in teacher ratings of antisocial behavior. The nature of the interaction indicated that maternal discipline was a risk factor for growth in antisocial behavior only for boys with high levels of tantrums.
研究假设，男孩幼儿期的易管理性问题会扰乱父母的管教方式。反过来，父母管教方式的扰乱又会与童年后期的易管理性问题相互作用，以预测小学到初中过渡阶段反社会行为的变化。结果表明，即使在对母亲的反社会行为、抑郁情绪以及男孩的破坏性行为和反社会行为进行统计控制之后，母亲对难以管理的回顾性认知仍能预测观察到的母亲管教方式。图形分析和潜在类别增长模型表明，发脾气的程度与母亲的管教方式相互作用，可预测教师对反社会行为评分的变化。这种相互作用的性质表明，母亲的管教方式仅是发脾气程度较高男孩反社会行为增长的一个风险因素。
