TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the psychometric properties of Grasmick et al.'s self-control measure and its relationship with deviance on large, representative adolescent samples (N = 8,417) from Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that nonmaternal care services to children of mothers with low levels of education could prevent the development of childhood PA problems, depending on the age at which the services are initiated.

TL;DR: The findings of this study support a more integrated approach to promoting healthier lifestyles, and suggest that the behavior targets of integrated prevention programs should be different for adolescents and adults.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interplay between temperamental traits and maternal parenting behaviours in predicting the level as well as the development of toddlers' externalizing behaviours and found that the effects of maternal negative control and lack of maternal sensitivity were stronger for toddlers with a difficult temperament.

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between parenting and boys' externalizing behaviors in a four-wave longitudinal study of toddlers and found that, at 23, 29, and 35 months of age, boys' behavior predicted parent-reported support, lack of structure, psychological control and physical punishment, and these child effects were equally strong across time and across mothers and fathers.
