“…Numerous studies have found an association between prior developmental risk, particularly conduct problems, and becoming a parent at a younger age (Becker, 1987;Black et al 2002;Lerman, 1993;Pears et al, 2005), and younger fathers have been found to show higher levels of antisocial behavior, earlier onset, and more serious substance use Wei, Loeber, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2002;Woodward, Fergusson, & Horwood, 2006). Thus, early parenthood may serve as a marker of prior risk conditions that would be expected to continue to encumber the young family.…”

Recent studies have found significant but relatively modest associations in parenting across generations, suggesting additional influences on parenting than experience in the family of origin. The present prospective, cross-generational study of at-risk men (Oregon Youth Study) focuses on fathers' negative discipline practices with their 2-to 3-year-old children. The theoretical model is based on a dynamic developmental systems approach to problematic family functioning, which points to the importance of developmental systems, including family risk context and key influential social interactional systems, and emphasizes influence that is directly pertinent to the outcome of interest. Path modeling indicated that the men's poor and harsh discipline practices were predicted by partners' problem behavior (substance use and antisocial behavior) and negative discipline practices, as well as by poor discipline experienced in the family of origin, men's own problem behavior, ages at which they became fathers, and family socioeconomic status were controlled. Findings indicate the importance of focusing on influence dynamics across parents.Keywords three generations; discipline; mothers; fathers; dynamic developmental systems It has long been assumed that many of the parenting behaviors we employ with our children were learned from our own parents (Caspi & Elder, 1988). Until recently, however, most evidence regarding this association came from retrospective studies (Covell, Grusec, & King, 1995;Olsen, Martin, & Halverson, 1999) or from studies in which one agent reported on more than one generation (e.g., Chassin, Presson, Todd, Rose, & Sherman, 1998;Chen & Kaplan, 2001). A number of recent studies using long-term prospective data sets with multiagent, multimethod designs have found significant associations between the parenting experienced as a child and the parenting practices later employed in the family of procreation. Notably, however, these associations have been relatively modest (Belsky, Jaffee, Sligo, Woodward, & Silva, 2005;Capaldi, Pears, Patterson, & Owen, 2003;Conger, Neppl, Kim, & Scaramella, 2003;Hops, Davis, Leve, & Sheeber, 2003;Smith & Farrington, 2004; Thornberry, FreemanGallant, Lizotte, Krohn, & Smith, 2003).The fact that the intergenerational association for parenting is limited when subjected to rigorous testing indicates that there are influences on parenting in addition to experiences in the family of origin. The availability of prospective intergenerational data allows for the opportunity to identify factors that influence early adults' parenting over and above the behavior modeled by their parents. The present study builds on a prior study (Capaldi et al., 2003) examining intergenerational continuity in parenting for an at-risk sample of young men (the Oregon Youth Study, OYS) by testing a theory-driven model of factors that may influence Corresponding author: Deborah M.

“…Unlike the studies linking parenthood and desistance, these studies do not specifically take a life-course perspective but instead argue that juvenile delinquency and becoming a teenage parent are both symptoms of an underlying (set of) risk factor(s). Among these factors are psychological characteristics such as low selfcontrol and impulsivity leading to a higher risk of problem behaviors such as aggression, delinquency, substance abuse, early initiation of sexual intercourse and multi-partnered sexuality without using contraceptives (Stewart, 2007;Wei, Loeber, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2002). These risk factors and behaviors are strengthened by underlying compositional factors such as a low socio-economic background, low educational achievements, and problematic family situations.…”

“…These behaviors in turn are linked to personal characteristics, such as low self-control and impulsiveness, which may increase the chance of young offenders of having a (unplanned) child during their teenage years outside a committed relationship such as marriage. The association between criminal behavior and the timing of first parenthood may thus be largely spurious, and result from criminal behavior sharing the same underlying risk factors as a promiscuous mating style and teenage parenthood (Wei et al, 2002;Yao et al, 2014).…”

“…Em geral, os resumos mencionavam dificuldades socioeconômicas relacionadas à paternidade e delinquência (Wei, Loeber, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2002), sob o enfoque das questões políticas/sociais, avaliando as necessidades dos jovens ao se tornarem pais (Bishop, Gay, Ledesma, & Garofalo, 2005). Já nas pesquisas brasileiras, houve número maior de publicações, investigando o significado da paternidade para os jovens pais e como as relações de gênero contribuem para tornar os adolescentes mais vulneráveis à gravidez (Almeida & Hardy, 2007).…”
