“…Notably, although evidence indicates people of different ethnicities vary in their parental discipline styles (Cardona et al 2000), appropriate parental monitoring is consistently related to decreased adolescent risk behavior among African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian samples (Crosby et al 2000;Miller et al 1999). Monitoring plays a particularly important role in protecting African American adolescents from low socioeconomic contexts against engagement in high risk sexual behaviors (Baptiste et al 2007).…”

Parental Monitoring as a Moderator of the Effect of Family Sexual Communication on Sexual Risk Behavior Among Adolescents in Psychiatric Care

Authors examined if parental monitoring moderated effects of family sexual communication on sexual risk behavior among adolescents in psychiatric care. Seven hundred and eighteen parents reported upon quality of family discussions about sex-related topics and degree to which they monitor teen behavior. Adolescents reported the frequency of their own safe sex practices. Parental monitoring moderated the family communication quality-sexual risk behavior relationship among African American families. African American parents who perceived themselves as capable of open family sexual communication and frequent monitoring had adolescents who reported decreased sexual risk behavior. The moderator model was not supported among Caucasian and Hispanic families and findings did not depend upon gender. For African Americans, findings support the influential role of family processes in development of teen sexual risk behavior and suggest, for parents of teens receiving mental health services, learning communication and monitoring skills may be critical to their adolescent's sexual health.

“…In general, parents from collectivistic cultures are found to display a more authoritarian parenting with high levels of parental control, demandingness, and restrictiveness than parents from individualistic cultures who display authoritative parenting more (Chao, 1994;Kagitcibasi, 1970;Rudy & Grusec, 2006). Non-Western mothers are found to use more negative parenting, punishment, and control (Cardona, Nicholson, & Fox, 2000;Kelley & Tseng, 1992) and less praising and verbal encouragement (Bradley, Corwyn, & Whiteside-Mansell, 1996) than Western mothers. For example, studies with African and Chinese Americans in the US revealed that parental control is much more common in the ethnic minority groups than in the mainstream Caucasian families (Kelley & Tseng, 1992).…”

“…Ever since parenting and child development became the subject of empirical study, the majority of studies of parenting have focused on the mother-child dyad (e.g., Bornstein, Tal, & Tamis-LeMonda, 1991;Cardona, Nicholson, & Fox, 2000;Conroy, Hess, Azuma, & Kashiwagi, 1980;Durrant, Broberg, & Rose-Krasnor, 1999;Kelley et al, 1992). This one-sided focus on mothers, at the expense of fathers, has its roots in the assumption that mothers have a biologically rooted instinct for child care that cannot be exchanged for paternal care and in the fact that mothers have traditionally spent much more time with their children than fathers (Garbarino, 1993;Haas, 1992, pp.…”

This thesis examined two key aspects of intergenerational disagreements. The first aspect dealt with Swedish parents' preferences for discipline with respect to the national emphasis on child democracy. Parents of preschool children were interviewed so as to examine their responses to hypothetical situations typical of common child misbehavior and their use of three assertive disciplinary strategies (coercion, behavior modification, and verbal control) were examined. In Study I, Swedish fathers' preferences for discipline were compared with the preferences of fathers from the United States (U.S.). The results showed that fathers' overall references to assertive discipline were on the same level in the Swedish sample as they were in the U.S. sample. However, compared with the Americans, the Swedes mentioned using more verbal control and less behavior modification. The aim of Study II was to investigate how Swedish parents respond across initial and recurring episodes of child misconduct. Parents' overall reports of assertive discipline revealed no significant shifts across first-and second-time child transgressions. In terms of individual strategies, however, fathers did exchange verbal control for coercion and behavior modification, but only when faced with serious situations. Although more research is needed to find out the possible effects of the national family policy in Sweden, a general conclusion is that Swedish parents seem to employ a restrictive, rather than punitive, approach to parent-child conflict. The second aspect of this thesis focused on the links between parental authority and adolescents' psychosocial adjustment. The purpose was to address some of the limitations that developmental researchers have noted in widespread typology models of parenting styles. To separate adolescents' voluntary co-operation with parental expectations from parents' deliberate intentions to exert behavior control, in contrast with many previous investigations, Study III measured the strategies of firm control and monitoring by asking parents for their responses to hypothetical situations involving potential conflict. The results indicated little support for a direct association between parental use of firm control and monitoring on the one side and adolescents' psychosocial adjustment on the other. Attempting to add to the understanding of the links between parenting and adolescent psychosocial adjustment, Study IV examined adolescents' perceptions of how conflicts with their parents are usually resolved (i.e., conflict resolution schemas). The results revealed that adolescents with high and low levels of adjustment differed in their views of how conflicts with their parents were usually resolved. In particular, well-adjusted adolescents were more likely to see themselves as complying with parental expectancies on a voluntary basis. In conclusion, characteristics of the parent-adolescent relationship that promote adolescents' conflict resolution expectancies seem to be more important to adolescents' positive developme...
