This longitudinal study examined the covariation between parents' use of control and solicitation, youth willingness to self-disclose to parents, and youth antisocial behavior from ages 13 to 14. Structural equation analyses were conducted on a combined sample of Italian (N = 152) and French Canadian (N = 151) adolescents. Analyses tested for longitudinal cross-lagged effects while controlling for stability and all concurrent associations. Although bivariate correlations showed consistent associations among these constructs, both concurrently and over one year, SEM results revealed virtually no cross-lagged effects, after controlling for concurrent associations and stability. These findings suggest that the actual causal effects of parenting and youth behavior may best be conceptualized as occurring in the moment, rather than over extended periods of time. Results also showed that parental control and solicitation demonstrated very different associations with youth antisocial behavior, and should therefore be considered separately for research and prevention.
这项纵向研究考察了13至14岁青少年的父母控制与引导行为、青少年向父母自我表露的意愿以及青少年反社会行为之间的协变关系。对意大利（N = 152）和法裔加拿大（N = 151）青少年的合并样本进行了结构方程分析。分析在控制稳定性和所有同时期关联的情况下，检验了纵向交叉滞后效应。尽管双变量相关性显示这些构念在同时期及一年时间内都存在一致的关联，但结构方程模型结果显示，在控制了同时期关联和稳定性后，几乎不存在交叉滞后效应。这些发现表明，养育方式与青少年行为之间的实际因果效应可能最好被理解为即时发生，而非在较长时间内发生。结果还表明，父母控制与引导对青少年反社会行为的关联非常不同，因此在研究和预防中应分别考虑。
