“…The first was that analyses of the six studies found no evidence of “late‐onset” chronic physical aggression in any of the six longitudinal studies. These findings clearly contradicted “late‐onset” typologies largely based on a social learning hypothesis (Loeber & Hay, ; Moffitt, ; Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, ). The second main conclusion was the need for longitudinal studies, initiated during early childhood, to investigate to what extent social learning of aggression can be found in early childhood.…”

This article reviews the state of knowledge on the development of chronic physical aggression (CPA), with the aim of identifying the most effective prevention strategies. We specifically focus on the early development of physical aggression, on sex differences in the use of physical aggression, and on the transmission of behavior problems from one generation to the other. The body of research on the development of CPA from the past three decades that we review shows increasing evidence that its prevention requires a long‐term biopsychosocial developmental approach which also must include an intergenerational perspective. Recent genetic and epigenetic research has indicated that there are both important genetic and environmental effects on gene expression which start at conception. We conclude that one of the most effective strategies to break the intergenerational transmission of CPA involves giving long‐term support to pregnant women with a history of behavior problems, their spouse, and their offspring.

“…Negativity in interpersonal relationships is linked to adjustment problems, particularly to involvement in risky behaviors (Solmeyer et al, 2014), through learning negative interaction styles with siblings (Patterson et al., 1990); whereas, positive relationships may protect youth from involvement in risky behaviors by increasing youths’ self-esteem (Rutter, 1987). In the face of siblings’ overall low levels of risky behavior involvement, we found that younger siblings in the Positive and Negative profiles reported greater involvement in risky behaviors than their older opposite-sex siblings.…”

We examined profiles of sibling relationship qualities in 246 Mexican-origin families living in the United States using latent profile analyses. Three profiles were identified: Positive, Negative and Affect-Intense. Links between profiles and youths’ familism values and adjustment were assessed using longitudinal data. Siblings in the Positive profile reported the highest familism values, followed by siblings in the Affect-Intense profile and, finally, siblings in the Negative profile. Older siblings in the Positive and Affect-Intense profiles reported fewer depressive symptoms than siblings in the Negative profile. Further, in the Positive and Negative profiles, older siblings reported less involvement in risky behaviors than younger siblings. In the Negative profile, younger siblings reported greater sexual risk behaviors in late adolescence than older siblings; siblings in opposite-sex dyads, as compared to same-sex dyads, engaged in riskier sexual behaviors. Our findings highlight sibling relationship quality as promotive and risky, depending on sibling characteristics and adjustment outcomes.

“…Negative emotions such as fear and anger focus the mind on specific adaptive actions (e.g., fight or flight), and much work has been done on the role of negative emotions in downward spirals (Belsky & Pluess, ). For example, in stressful contexts parenting is disrupted, and ineffective parenting practices tend to lead to childhood conduct disorders, which in turn lead to rejection by prosocial peers and increased affiliation with deviant peers (Dodge et al, ; Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, ). Also, mothers' experience of negative affect was linked with decreased responsivity in adolescents' neural processes that support social reward, which suggests a negative spillover affect that dampened receptivity to adolescents' social acceptance (Tan et al, ).…”

While negative cascades have been well studied, little has been written on the promotion of upward spirals. We propose a conceptual model that situates parenting interventions as a leverage point in promoting positive cascades. We integrate broaden‐and‐build theory and social capital theory into the model to explain micro‐ and macro‐level patterns of change in longitudinal prevention studies, acknowledging that when socioeconomic resources are scarce, investment in parenting may be challenging. Parenting prevention programs provide evidence of improvements in effective parenting behaviors, promote increased confidence and a belief in parenting abilities, and over time may activate positive cascades that affect other domains in parents' lives, such as health and peer support. Resulting positive emotions are hypothesized to broaden coping and build long‐term resources that promote resilience. Social resources may then spill over to benefit individual, family, and community systems. Research methods for testing developmental cascades and practical applications are also considered.
