This type of research is descriptive using a qualitative approach. Respondents amounted to three people, namely parents who have teenage children. Data collection methods used in this study were interviews, observation, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that parents who apply authoritarian parenting to young women have a positive impact on the daily life of adolescents and are independent and achieve at school, can self-actualize well, and are far from environmental influences and bad associations. Parents who apply democratic parenting to adolescents who have an open mind tend to have a positive impact on their adolescents so that their adolescents can sort out and choose which associations are good and which are not good for them.

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1999

This paper presents evidence that the model of development of antisocial behavior in children generalizes to the development of a wide array of problem behaviors during later adolescence and that youth antisocial behavior, high-risk sexual behavior, academic failure and substance use form a single problem behavior construct. Structural equation modeling methods were applied to 24-month longitudinal data from 204 adolescents and parents. The model ®t the data well, accounting for 52% of the variance in adolescent problem behavior. Speci®cally, families experiencing high levels of con¯ict were more likely to have low levels of parent±child involvement. These family conditions were related to poor parental monitoring and association with deviant peers one year later. Poor parental monitoring and associations with deviant peers were strong proximal predictors of engagement in an array of problem behaviors at two-year follow-up. #

Aspects of the Parent-Adolescent Relationship and Associations With Adolescent Risk Behaviors Over Time

Aspects of the Parent-Adolescent Relationship and Associations With Adolescent Risk Behaviors Over Time, 2018

Parents’ actions and knowledge of adolescents’ whereabouts play key roles in preventing risk behaviors in early adolescence, but what enables parents to know about their adolescents’ activities and what links there are to adolescent risk behaviors, such as substance use and delinquent behavior, remain unclear. In this study, we investigated whether different aspects of the parent–adolescent relationship predict parental knowledge, and we examined the direct and indirect longitudinal associations between these aspects of the parent– adolescent relationship and adolescents’ self-reported delinquent behavior and substance use. The participants were 550 parents and their adolescent children from two small and two midsized municipalities in Sweden. Parental data were collected when the adolescents were 13 years old (mean), and adolescent data on risk behaviors were collected on two occasions, when they were 13 and 14 years of age (mean). Structural path analyses revealed that adolescent disclosure, parental solicitation, and parental control predicted parental knowledge, with adolescent disclosure being the strongest source of parental knowledge and the strongest negative predictor of adolescent risk behaviors. Parenting competence and adolescents’ connectedness to parents were indirectly, through adolescent disclosure and parental solicitation and parental control, associated with substance use and delinquent behavior. Some paths differed for boys and girls. In conclusion, confident parenting and a close parent–adolescent relationship in which adolescent disclosure is promoted, seem protective of adolescent engagement in risk behaviors.
