“…Individuals who receive less parental monitoring and control are more likely to acquire delinquent attitudes and to engage with delinquent peers, and are therefore more likely to engage in delinquent behavior (Sutherland 1947). Previous research indeed indicated that adolescents who received more effective parenting are less likely to have delinquent attitudes and delinquent peers (Knoester and Haynie 2005;Pardini et al 2005;Warr 2005). In a study examining the 'gender gap' in violent delinquency, Heimer and Coster (1999) found however, that more indirect parental control, i.e., bond with parents, reduced definitions favorable to violence among girls and not boys.…”

In the current study, we examined longitudinally whether boys and girls differed in pathways from parenting to delinquency. Longitudinal mediational models were tested for boys and girls separately in which three parenting dimensions (i.e., monitoring, limit setting, and the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship) were hypothesized to influence adolescents' level of self-control, delinquent attitudes, peer delinquency, and time spent in criminogenic settings, which in turn, were hypothesized to affect delinquency. Using data of 603 adolescents (11-17 years of age at T1) we found mean level differences between boys and girls in parental monitoring, parental limit-setting, self-control, delinquent attitudes, and peer delinquency. The results suggest furthermore that the model linking parenting to delinquency is similar for boys and girls. We found, however, that the indirect effect from the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship through self-control is stronger for girls than for boys.

“…Existing evidence suggests that adolescents with predispositions to delinquency are more likely to engage in delinquent behavior (Moffitt and Caspi 2001). The general assumption is that an increase in tolerance towards delinquency often precedes the initiation of delinquent acts (Pardini et al 2005). Evidence also indicates that the influence of attitudes on behavior may be contingent upon a number of covariates, including the mental health status of the youth (Nebbitt et al 2008).…”

This study assesses whether the influences of attitude towards deviance, exposure to delinquent peers and parental supervision and encouragement on antisocial behavior are moderated by depressive symptoms. Two hundred and thirty eight African American adolescents ages 13-19 from three public housing developments participated in this study. Results indicate that approximately half of the youth did not engage in antisocial behaviors in the last year. Gender, depression, attitudes and peers were significant correlates of antisocial behavior. Parental supervision and encouragement, and age were not related to antisocial behavior. Interaction effects suggest that the relative influences of attitudes towards deviance and delinquent peers on antisocial behaviors depend upon gender and level of depression symptoms. Implications for social work practice and future research are discussed.

“…Several longitudinal studies have shown that increases in peer delinquency are significantly related to more tolerant beliefs about the acceptability of antisocial behavior, including causing serious harm to others (Henry et al, 2000;Pardini, Loeber, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2005). In fact, the impact of deviant peers on IC may be stronger than family influences during adolescence, as youth begin spending more time with friends (Larson & Richards, 1991) and begin receiving positive reinforcement from peers for committing interpersonally callous acts (Dishion, McCord, & Poulin, 1999 is associated with high levels of IC in early adolescence, particularly among youth with elevated conduct problems (Kimonis et al, 2004).…”

The current study examined the relation between interpersonal callousness trajectories during adolescence (ages 14 to 18) and characteristics of antisocial personality and internalizing problems in young adulthood (age 26), using a community sample of 506 boys. The influence of several parent and peer factors on callousness trajectories during adolescence was also explored. Although the mean interpersonal callousness trajectory for the entire sample was relatively flat, there was substantial individual variability in both the initial status and rate of change of interpersonal callousness over time. Trajectories of interpersonal callousness were associated with higher levels of antisocial personality features in early adulthood but were unrelated to adult internalizing problems. Conduct problems and parent-child communication difficulties were the best predictors of elevated levels of interpersonal callousness throughout adolescence. However, none of the parenting and peer factors examined predicted substantive changes in interpersonal callousness over time. Keywordscallous; psychopathy; antisocial personality; development; longitudinal; parenting; peers A defining feature of adult psychopathy is the presence of a callous interpersonal style, including being deceitful, manipulative, grandiose, superficially charming, lacking empathy and guilt, and not accepting responsibility for transgressions. Features of interpersonal callousness (IC) have been identified in children and adolescents, and emerging research suggests that these features delineate a particularly malignant form of antisocial behavior (Frick, Cornell, Barry, Bodin, & Dane, 2003;Loeber, Burke, & Lahey 2002;Loeber et al., 2005;Pardini, 2006;Pardini, Obradović, & Loeber, 2006). Although some have speculated that features of IC in youth are stable across time and represent the foundation for adult antisocial or psychopathic personality disorders (Lynam et al., 2005), relatively few longitudinal studies have examined the within-individual stability of IC during adolescence or examined the association between IC features in adolescence and later adult antisocial personality (AP; for exceptions, see Burke, Loeber, & Lahey, 2007;Loeber et al., 2002). Furthermore, although many researchers have emphasized the potential genetic and neurobiological factors underlying the development of IC, there is little research examining the influence of important socializing agents (e.g., parents, peers) on changes in IC during adolescence. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that parenting practices and peer characteristics may be important for understanding the development of IC in youth Correspondence regarding this article may be sent to Dustin Pardini, Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, 120 Lytton Ave., University Center #250, Pittsburgh, PA 15213; dap38@pitt.edu.
