Parenting processes and dating violence: The mediating role of self-esteem in low- and high-SES adolescents

Article Abstract:

A study tests a model in which low self-esteem mediated the effects by parenting processes on measures of dating violence in a sample of adolescents from both low- and high-socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds. Hierarchical regression analyses provides evidence that in low-SES youth, low self-esteem mediates the relationship between closeness as well as support and dating violence behaviors, while in high-SES youth, it only mediates the relationship between maternal support and dating violence attitudes.

Parental influences on young people's sexual behavior: A longitudinal analysis

Article Abstract:

A study uses longitudinal data from a survey of Scottish teenagers to show how low parental monitoring predicts early sexual activity for both sexes, and for females it also predicts more sexual partners and less condom use. A lot of spending money is also found to predict early sexual activity and, for males, having more sexual partners, while comfort talking with parents about sex seemed to bear little relationship to sexual behavior.

A study used data from 520 British secondary school age children to explore determinants of and mental health outcomes from their non-resident fathers' relationships (child-reported father's involvement and frequency of contact) with them. Findings showed that, as a whole, non-resident fathers' involvement and frequency of contract did not improve the regression models predicting children's total difficulties or pro-social behavior.
