This six-wave multi-informant longitudinal study on Dutch adolescents (N = 824; age 12-18) examined the interplay of socioeconomic status with parental monitoring in predicting minor delinquency. Fixed-effects negative binomial regression analyses revealed that this interplay is different within adolescents across time than between adolescents. Between individuals, parental solicitation and control were not significantly associated with delinquency after controlling for SES: Adolescents whose parents exercised more monitoring did not offend less than others. Within individuals, higher levels of parental control were unexpectedly associated with more delinquency, but this relation was dependent on SES: Low-SES adolescents, but not high-SES adolescents, offended more during periods in which their parents exercised more control than during other periods with less control. In contrast to earlier work, this finding suggests that monitoring could be least effective when needed most. Low-SES parents might not use monitoring effectively and become overcontrolling when their child goes astray.
这项针对荷兰青少年（N = 824；年龄在12至18岁之间）的六波多 informant 纵向研究，考察了社会经济地位与父母监督在预测轻微犯罪方面的相互作用。固定效应负二项回归分析表明，这种相互作用在青少年个体内部随时间的变化与在青少年个体之间的情况不同。在个体之间，在控制了社会经济地位之后，父母的询问和控制与犯罪没有显著关联：父母进行更多监督的青少年并不比其他人犯罪更少。在个体内部，父母控制水平较高意外地与更多犯罪相关，但这种关系取决于社会经济地位：低社会经济地位的青少年，而不是高社会经济地位的青少年，在父母行使更多控制的时期比在其他控制较少的时期犯罪更多。与早期研究不同，这一发现表明，监督在最需要的时候可能最无效。低社会经济地位的父母可能无法有效地进行监督，当他们的孩子误入歧途时会变得控制过度。
