“…The current study advances the field by being one of the first to examine factors (i.e., C/U traits, peer delinquency, and neighborhood problems) associated with perceived containment among youth. This is an important step in the literature to help understand other potential prevention and intervention avenues for problem behavior, as a lack of belief that authority figures' can control behavior is associated with increased risk for problem behavior (Dumas et al, ; Fite et al, ; Fite, et al, ; Schneider et al, ; Fite et al, in press). Consistent with expectation, all three factors were negatively associated with perceived containment, with C/U traits (particularly callousness and uncaring subcomponents) and peer delinquency most robustly associated with perceived containment.…”

“…Prior research suggests that perceived containment is associated with a variety of negative outcomes, such as school disciplinary actions, conduct problems, and aggression (Dumas, LaFreniere, & Serketich, ; Fite et al, ; Schneider et al, ; Fite, Pederson, Tampke, Diaz, & DiPierro, ; Fite, et al, in press). As such, this cognitive construct may be an important target for the prevention and intervention of child and adolescent problem behavior.…”

“…There is growing evidence indicating that low levels of perceived containment put youth at risk for problem behavior (Dumas et al, ; Fite et al, ; Schneider et al, ; Fite, et al, ; Fite, et al, in press). However, little research has examined factors contributing to perceived containment, which limits our ability to prevent and change these beliefs.…”

There is growing evidence indicating that a lack of perceived containment, or youth's beliefs about whether adults can control their behavior, is associated with problem behavior. However, little research has examined factors that may contribute to perceived containment, which would be helpful in further tailoring prevention and intervention efforts for problem behavior. The current study evaluated associations between callous‐unemotional (C/U) traits, peer delinquency, neighborhood problems, and perceived containment. Associations were examined using a sample of detained youth. Findings indicated that while all three factors were correlated with perceived containment, only C/U traits (particularly the callousness and uncaring subscales) and peer delinquency were uniquely associated with perceived containment. Further, C/U traits did not moderate the links between peer delinquency or neighborhood problems and perceived containment. This study supports the influence of both individual and contextual factors on perceived containment, suggesting multiple factors to target for prevention and intervention.

Studies informing ways to target aggression in youth, particularly through the identification of internal patterns predictive of concurrent and future levels of aggression, could be particularly beneficial. To this end, the current study surveyed 216 elementary‐aged children on topics of perceived containment (i.e., perceived ability of authority figures to control, limit, and set consequences for one's behaviors), coping responses, and reactive (RA) and proactive aggression (PA). Using multilevel modeling, the individual and interactive effects of coping responses and perceived containment on aggression within time and across two school years were examined. Within time, lower levels of perceived containment were associated with greater RA and PA. Passive coping was also positively associated with RA. The relation between perceived containment and RA within time was dependent on humor, whereas the relation between perceived containment and PA depended on problem‐solving. Across time, while T1 passive coping predicted the trajectory of both functions of aggression, a greater number of T1 coping responses predicted the slope of RA with problem‐solving and friend support‐seeking as well as T1 perceived containment also predicting the trajectory of RA. No coping responses moderated the relation between T1 perceived containment and the trajectory of RA. In contrast, humor moderated the influence of T1 perceived containment and the trajectory of PA. Findings give insight into the ways internal processes of perceived containment and coping are associated with patterns of aggression in elementary‐aged youth. This work is valuable in identifying several potential areas for prevention and intervention research.
