Family-management skills of parents of seventh- and tenth-grade boys were related to each of 2 criterion measures of delinquency: police contacts and self-reported delinquency. The measures of family-management skills were monitoring, discipline, problem solving, and reinforcement. The measures of parent monitoring and discipline were shown to correlate significantly with both criterion measures. The monitoring score accounted for the most variance in both criterion measures of delinquency, and the problem solving and reinforcement measures accounted for the least. The monitoring score also differentiated moderate offenders from persistent offenders.
与警方的接触以及自我报告的犯罪行为。家庭管理技能的衡量指标包括监督、纪律、问题解决和强化。结果显示，家长监督和纪律方面的指标与这两种标准指标均显著相关。在两种青少年犯罪标准指标中，监督得分解释的方差最多，而问题解决和强化指标解释的方差最少。监督得分还能区分中度犯罪者和惯犯。
