EAMON, MARY KEEGAN MULDER, CRAY Predicting Antisocial Behavior Among Latino Young Adolescents: An Ecological Systems Analysis American Journal of Orthopsychiatry 75,1 (2005): 117-127 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 ID Number: 4955 Publisher: American Orthopsychiatric Association Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors used data from a national sample of 420 Latino young adolescents to examine multiple predictors of antisocial behavior within an ecological systems framework. They found that boys and youths who lived a higher proportion of their life in poverty exhibited higher levels of antisocial behavior, and mothers’ acculturation was associated with lower levels. Neighborhood and school environments, exposure to deviant peer pressure, and 3 parenting practices—parent–youth attachment, physical punishment, and mothers’ monitoring—were related to Latino youth antisocial behavior. Neighborhood quality and peer pressure explained the relation between poverty and an increased risk for antisocial behavior. EAMON, MARY KEEGAN ZUEHL, RACHEL M. Maternal Depression and Physical Punishment as Mediators of the Effect of Poverty on Socioemotional Problems of Children in Single-Mother Families American Journal of Orthopsychiatry 71, 2 (2001): 218-226 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 ID Number: 465 Publisher: American Orthopsychiatric Association Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from a national sample of 878, 4- to 9-year-old children in single-mother families were used to test a structural model of the effect of poverty on children s socioemotional problems. Results show that the effect of poverty is mediated by maternal depression and mothers use of physical punishment. Maternal depression influences children s socioemotional problems both directly, and also indirectly through physical punishment. Search returned 2 items.
