“…3) "Elterliche Beaufsichtigung" wurde über vier Items gemessen (α = .75) und thematisiert die positive Begleitung und Supervision der Jugendlichen durch ihre Eltern. Die Skala beruht auf der Skala "parental supervision" von Loeber and Dishion (1984) und wurde von Kassis (2003) weiterentwickelt. Alle drei Erziehungsstilskalen wurden auf einer vierstufigen Likertskala beantwortet.…”

This article addresses the question: What is the explanatory power of the theoretical constructs ‘parenting style’ and ‘parent-child relationship’ for understanding violence among teenage girls? Using a sequential mixed-methods design, we combined data from different sources (interviews and questionnaires) analysed by different methods (grounded theory and correspondence analysis). Within this mixed-methods design, we compared the results of the qualitative analysis of interviews with violence-orientated girls with the results of the correspondence analysis of the cross-sectional survey (n= 243, mean age= 15.2, SD = 1,91). There is a strong relationship between the form of violence applied by the girls and the characteristics of the family dynamics. The utilization of different theoretical constructs (i.e., parenting style and parent-child relationship) reveals these dynamics and enables theoretical reflection on this subject. Zusammenfassung Im Mittelpunkt dieses Artikels steht die Frage nach dem Erklärungsgehalt der theoretischen Konstrukte Erziehungsverhalten und Beziehungsdynamik zwischen Eltern und Heranwachsenden für die Gewaltentwicklung weiblicher Jugendlicher. Über ein sequenzielles mixed-methods-Design werden unterschiedliche Datenquellen (Interviews und Fragebogen) und Analysemethoden (grounded theory und Korrespondenzanalyse)verbunden. Im Rahmen des gewählten mixedmethods-Designs werden die Ergebnisse aus der Analyse von Interviews mit gewaltorientierten Mädchen mit den korrespondenzanalytischen Einsichten aus einer Fragebogenstudie verglichen (n=243, Altersdurchschnitt = 15.2, SD = 1,91). Die Ergebnisse aus den Interviews und den Fragebogendaten zeigen eine hohe Heterogenität in der Art des Zusammenlebens von Familien Gewalt ausübender Mädchen. Es besteht ein starker Zusammenhang zwischen dem individuellen Gewalthandeln der untersuchten Mädchen und der spezifischen Dynamik des familiären Zusammenlebens. Der Einsatz unterschiedlicher theoretischer Konstrukte (Erziehungsverhalten und Beziehungsdynamik zwischen Eltern und Heranwachsenden) macht diese Dynamiken sichtbar und theoretisch reflektierbar.

“…Fourth, extending beyond the regression techniques used in prior studies to evaluate the general predictive strength of the proposed model, an attempt was made to identify and compare subgroups of boys who showed cross-situational (home and school) conduct problems with boys who showed problematic conduct in only one of these settings. Previous research suggests that boys with cross-situational problems may suffer more severe and diverse concurrent and future maladjustment and may come from families characterized by less effective and more coercive discipline practices, more marital conflict, and poorer problemsolving skills (Loeber, 1982;Loeber & Dishion, 1984;Schacher, Rutter & Smith, 1981). Finally, recent research suggests that there may be multiple pathways to peer rejection, and that only about half of all rejected children exhibit conduct problems at school (Bierman, 1986;French, 1988).…”

“…In particular, unsuitable discipline practices (e.g., frequent and harsh punishment; inconsistent and ineffective limit setting) and family discord (e.g., marital conflict and parental hostility) appear more commonly in families of conduct problem children than in families of nonproblematic children (Becker, Peterson, Hellmer, Shoemaker & Quay, 1959;Emery, 1982;Loeber & Dishion, 1984;Patterson, 1986). Yet, relatively few studies have included concurrent measures of children's peer relations in order to elucidate the nature and extent of the association between such negative family characteristics and poor peer relations.…”

“…developed by Locke and Wallace (1959). This 15-item self-report questionnaire has been shown to distinguish harmonious from disturbed marriages reliably and has been used successfully in previous research examining relations between marital satisfaction and child aggression in home and school settings (Locke & Wallace, 1959;Loeber & Dishion, 1984).To assess parental hostility, each parent completed the 28 items comprising the aggression factor of the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI, Buss & Durkee, 1957). Items such as "I often feel like breaking things" were answered true or false by parents.…”

Linking family characteristics with poor peer relations: The mediating role of conduct problems

Parent, teacher, and peer ratings were collected for 75 grade school boys to test the hypothesis that certain family interaction patterns would be associated with poor peer relations. Path analyses provided support for a mediational model, in which punitive and ineffective discipline was related to child conduct problems in home and school settings which, in turn, predicted poor peer relations. Further analyses suggested that distinct subgroups of boys could be identified who exhibited conduct problems at home only, at school only, in both settings, or in neither setting. Boys who exhibited cross-situational conduct problems were more likely to experience multiple concurrent problems (e.g., in both home and school settings) and were more likely than any other group to experience poor peer relations. However, only about one-third of the boys with poor peer relations in this sample exhibited problem profiles consistent with the proposed model (e.g., experienced high rates of punitive/ineffective home discipline and exhibited conduct problems in home and school settings), suggesting that the proposed model reflects one common (but not exclusive) pathway to poor peer relations.Children who are rejected by their peers during the grade school years are at risk for continuing adjustment difficulties and a number of negative adolescent outcomes, such as school failure and delinquency (cf. Parker & Asher, 1987). Recently, investigators have begun to speculate about the etiology of peer difficulties, focusing particularly on the ways in which parental characteristics and family interaction patterns may influence children's social development and peer adjustment (cf. Parke, et al., 1989). Since many peer-rejected children display high rates of impulsive, non-compliant and aggressive behaviors in their peer interactions (cf. Coie, Dodge & Kupersmidt, 1990), one oft-stated hypothesis is that family characteristics that foster or support child conduct problems may contribute to peer difficulties (cf. Putallaz & Heflin, 1990).Extensive research has demonstrated associations between certain family characteristics and high rates of child conduct problems. In particular, unsuitable discipline practices (e.g., frequent and harsh punishment; inconsistent and ineffective limit setting) and family discord (e.g., marital conflict and parental hostility) appear more commonly in families of conduct problem children than in families of nonproblematic children (Becker, Peterson, Hellmer, Shoemaker & Quay, 1959;Emery, 1982;Loeber & Dishion, 1984;Patterson, 1986). Yet, relatively few studies have included concurrent measures of children's peer relations in order to elucidate the nature and extent of the association between such negative family characteristics and poor peer relations. Patterson, Dishion and Bank (1984) were among the first to test a model empirically linking inconsistent discipline and family discord (e.g., observer ratings of maternal inconsistency and direct observations of negative sibling interactions) to child ...
