Despite the growing literature on how parenting predicts children’s adjustment to potentially stressful events, little is know about the specific mechanisms through which these effects operate. This review identifies some possible paths of parental influence by specifying ways that parents may influence each step of the coping process—from exposure to the potentially stressful event to event ap...

background: in adults, throughout life, uniqueness maintains the equivalent; but, it might be tailored in the track of neurological disarrays. as in the partition of cognitive function associated with multiple sclerosis (ms), numerous studies have been performed, but there are very few reports in this area of behavior. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of personality types...

background and aims. parental acceptance and consent are important parameters in selecting the required behavior management technique during pediatric dental treatment. the present study sought to assess the effect of three different informing methods on the parental acceptance, consent and concern regarding the pharmacological and invasive behavior management techniques used in pediatric denti...

Many U.S. policymakers support changing the "culture" of poor parents to encourage marriage, work, and religion as a means to end the intergenerational transmission of poverty. In this article Jens Ludwig and Susan Mayer review and evaluate research on how parental work, marriage, and religion affect children's socioeconomic status as adults, as well as on the likelihood that changing these ind...

BACKGROUND In species across taxa, offspring have means to influence parental investment (PI). PI thus evolves as an interacting phenotype and indirect genetic effects may strongly affect the co-evolutionary dynamics of offspring and parental behaviors. Evolutionary theory focused on explaining how exaggerated offspring solicitation can be understood as resolution of parent-offspring conflict, ...

Despite widespread use of self-report measures of adult attachment, relatively little research has explored the predictive utility of these measures in the domain of parent-child relationships. The present study examined the association between self-reported attachment style and parental responsiveness during a stressful event. Children and their parents were observed while children received an...

This study assessed the implications of parental attachment security and parental conflict behavior for offspring’s relational adjustment (attachment security, loneliness, and relationship satisfaction). Further, reports of parental conflict behavior were obtained from both parents and offspring, addressing questions regarding agreement between reporters and the origin and extent of discrepant ...

Recent formulations of socialization emphasize a previously neglected facet of parent-child interaction—the effects of child attributes on parent behavior. Empirically, however, little has been done to clarify which attributes of children systematically affect parental behavior and how they affect them. This study examines the relationship between children's activity level and independently ass...

This study examined the effects of parental monitoring in order to discover specific ways that their re1ationships with their parents affect ado1escents' delinquent behaviour. Data were taken from the National Survey of Youth 1972, a survey of a representative samp1e of 1395 Americans in the age range 11-18 years. Conditions such as the age and sex of the respondents, their affectiona1 re1ation...
