Premature adolescent autonomy: parent disengagement and deviant peer process in the amplification of problem behaviour.
TL;DR: In predicting late adolescent problem behaviour, there was a statistically reliable interaction between family management degradation and deviant peer involvement in adolescence in support of the premature autonomy hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The family check-up with high-risk young adolescents: Preventing early-onset substance use by parent monitoring
TL;DR: The Family Check-Up (FCU) intervention as mentioned in this paper is a brief, family-centered intervention focused on family-management practices, where parents in the intervention group were offered annual feedback on the yearly assessment, including their home observation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Actor-observer asymmetries in explanations of behavior: new answers to an old question.

Journal ArticleDOI
