“…Contrary to the results of other studies (Fish, Amerikaner, & Lucas, 2007; Thomas et al, 2003), high-control parenting attitudes was not associated with either parenting or child behaviors. One potential explanation for the lack of statistical significance in our study was that we used methods to address measurement error and controlled for shared method bias, which are two methods not typically used in other studies.…”

“…Early observations portrayed rural Appalachian parents as infant-centered but less involved and increasingly authoritarian as their children develop (Looff, 1971). More recent reports concur that Appalachian mothers are positive with their infants, but increasingly negative with older children (Fish, Amerikaner, & Lucas, 2007; Fish & Stifter, 1999). One especially prominent characteristic of parenting in rural Appalachia is early parturition (West Virginia Kids Count Fund, 2009).…”

Ceballo and McLoyd (2002) also suggest that persistent poverty is more detrimental to a child's development than short episodes of poverty.…”

“…Supportive parents can be described as possessing superior interpersonal skills and emotional well-being, which allows them the enjoyment of higher quality relationships, both parental and other (Ryan et al, 2006). According to Fish, Amerikaner, and Lucas (2007), "Parenting which is high in warmth, is sensitive, and is also child-centered is associated with more positive social and cognitive child outcomes, such as secure attachment, higher early language skills, and greater self-regulation" (p. 205-206). Berlin and Cassidy (2003) state, "...mothers of secure children socialize their children's emotions to help provide a 'secure base from which to explore'.…”
