“…Externalizing behaviors are defined as “overt behaviors that have a negative effect on the external environment” and can include behaviors that are disruptive, hyperactive/impulsive, and aggressive (White & Renk, ). A wealth of literature has examined numerous correlates of externalizing behaviors (e.g., Leventhal & Brooks‐Gunn, ; Meunier et al, ), parenting being the most studied correlate and central to the majority of explanatory models (Baumrind, ; Darling & Steinberg, ; Garcia & Garcia, ; Steinberg, ).…”

“…With its high degree of responsiveness and appropriate, child‐sensitive control, authoritative parenting has been found to be associated with positive long‐term child outcomes across ethnic groups, socioeconomic status, and child gender (Sorkhabi & Mandara, ; Steinberg, ; White & Renk, ; though see Garcia & Garcia, , for research on some ethnic differences). Given that respect and negotiation are part of the authoritative profile, children with authoritative parents are less likely to act in defiance or engage in externalizing behaviors (Luyckx et al, ; Steinberg, ; White & Renk, ; Williams et al, ).…”

This longitudinal study was conducted with 262 adolescents (M age = 15.3) and their parents to examine adolescent respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA; baseline and reactivity) as a moderator of the relationship between parenting style and adolescent externalizing behaviors. This was conceptualized within the differential susceptibility to the environment framework, which proposes that children with greater sensitivity to environmental influences benefit more from supportive environments but are at greater risk in averse environments. In this study, low RSA baseline was associated with greater susceptibility. In confirmation of hypotheses, males with low RSA baseline had the most externalizing behaviors when mother or father authoritative

“…Perceived social support reflects an individual's perception of the number of persons available to provide support, in addition to satisfaction with the support. Because diminished support is associated with low self‐efficacy (Adler‐Constantinescu, Beşu, & Negovan, ), self‐esteem (Rueger, Malecki, & Demaray, ), and well‐being (Chu, Saucier, & Hafner, ), as well as increased risk of mental health problems (Rueger, Chen, Jenkins, & Choe, ; White & Renk, ), the adolescents in RYC would likely benefit from perceiving social support from several sources to avoid these negative effects. A recent trend in out‐of‐home placements is kinship foster care (Thørnblad, ), which could make social support from extended family more avilable.…”

Social support may be of particular importance for vulnerable adolescents' development and health and can help them to cope with stressful life events. However, knowledge of perceived social support among adolescents in Residential Youth Care (RYC) is sparse. The present study therefore aimed to investigate perceived social support among adolescents in Norwegian RYC (N = 304, mean age 16.3 years, girls 57.2%), using a short form of the Social Support Questionnaire. The results were compared with adolescents in the general population. The findings revealed that adolescents in RYC reported a lower number of support persons compared with the general population. Both populations reported a decreasing number of support persons as they aged, except for girls in RYC. The adolescents in both populations were satisfied with the support perceived, especially those with the highest number of support persons. However, social support providers differed between the two populations; RYC adolescents reported their extended family, other sources of support, and the institutional staff more often and their parents less. The findings are important for adolescents living in RYC, as knowledge of their social support network could influence the current practices and ensure contact with important support persons, affecting their development and health.

“…Baumrind (1978) theoretical work has guided numerous studies on parenting (e.g., Bulcroft, Carmody, & Bulcroft, 1996), highlighting parental warmth and behavioral control as key parenting dimensions for Latino/a and non-Latino/a families (Mogro-Wilson, 2008). As in most studies, parental warmth is defined here as the amount of love, acceptance, and closeness that a child feels from their parents (White & Renk, 2012). The literature is remarkably consistent in that parental warmth is generally predictive of lower rates of externalizing problem behaviors (e.g., White & Renk, 2012).…”

Longitudinal study of externalizing behaviors in Latino/a adolescents: An examination of parenting and educational factors

As the Latino/a population increases externalizing behaviors among adolescents continue to concern researchers and clinicians. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data were used to analyze direct and indirect effects of parenting and academic factors on externalizing behavior among Latino/a adolescents over time, using latent growth curves and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that higher levels of maternal warmth, the adolescentteacher relationship, and academic achievement were all negatively associated with initial levels of externalizing behavior and in some cases negatively predicted the rate of change of externalizing behavior. Some predictors were also all found to be positively associated with academic achievement. Academic achievement acted as a mediator between most of the predictors and externalizing behavior. Implications are discussed.
