The impact of adolescent and parental characteristics on adolescent levels of delinquency and depression

Relational Experiences as Explanatory Factors for the Development of Criminal and Antisocial Behavior: A Scoping Review

“…Many studies were not based on a general population sample, instead focusing on specific groups, such as criminal offenders (Schimmenti 2014;Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Simons 2008;Wileman 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006). Eleven studies evaluated both male and female participants (Schimmenti 2014;Nunes 2013;van der Voort 2013;Delhaye 2012;Sousa 2011;Ingoglia 2011;Johnson 2011;Hiramura 2010;Day 2009;Tyler 2006;Heaven 2004), whereas six studies exclusively evaluated male participants (Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Simons 2008;Wileman 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006). Most studies were quantitative; however, some studies employed a cross-sectional (Nunes 2013;Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Delhaye 2012;Ingoglia 2011;Hiramura 2010;Day 2009;Simons 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006;Heaven 2004) or longitudinal design (van der Voort 2013;Sousa 2011;Johnson 2011;Tyler 2006).…”

“…In another study, Kiriakidis (2006) reported that an offender's perceptions of the quality of parental care received from his or her mother and father were associated with their belief that he or she would be able to stop offending in the future. Parenting was also found to have an impact on adolescent levels of delinquency in a study conducted by Heaven et al (2004) in which adolescents reporting low levels of parental care (affection, warmth and nurturance) also reported high levels of delinquency. Similar associations were documented by Lahlah et al (2013) when assessing parental connectedness, as low levels of perceived parental emotional warmth were demonstrated to have a direct association with self-reported violent delinquency in a probation sample.…”

“…Child abuse was constructed with the manifest and variables for sexual abuse, physical assault, psychological aggression, and exposure to intimate partner violence (Lahlah et al 2013). When examining the impact of parental characteristics on levels of delinquency in adolescents, Heaven et al (2004) found that physical parenting was associated with an increased probability of delinquency in boys. Physical parenting refers to the use of physical punishment by parents to control the behavior of an adolescent (Heaven et al 2004, p. 178).…”

“…Eight of the reviewed studies examined the relationship between physical and sexual abuse and criminal and antisocial behavior (Heaven et al 2004;Kimonis et al 2013;Lahlah et al 2013;Schimmenti et al 2014;Simons et al 2008;Sousa et al 2011;Tyler and Johnson 2006;Wileman et al 2008). The measured exposure variables were child abuse, maltreatment and physical parenting, with the two terms including physical abuse, sexual abuse, and exposure to interpersonal violence/domestic violence and psychological aggression.…”

Longitudinale associaties tussen ouder-kind relaties en depressieve symptomen in de adolescentie: de modererende rol van sekse, leeftijd en persoonlijkheid

“…De relatiekwaliteit tussen ouder en adolescent is wellicht belangrijk voor het voorkomen van depressieve symptomen bij adolescenten (Sheeber, Davis, Leve, Hops, & Tildesley, 2007). Verbanden tussen relatiekwaliteit met ouders en gelijktijdige depressieve symptomen zijn in de adolescentie veelvuldig aangetoond (Heaven, Newbury, & Mak, 2004;Sheeber, Hops, & Davis, 2001). De meeste van deze studies sluiten aan bij een oudereffect-model, waarbij resultaten worden gezien als bewijs voor de invloed van ouders of de ouder-kind relatie op depressieve symptomen van adolescenten.…”
