“…The transactional model was tested among 117 young children at ages 4, 5 and 6 who had been clinically referred for EB and among three groups of caregiver: mothers, fathers and teachers. In accordance with previous findings, EB was expected to be associated with lower caregiver-child QR in the three dyads (Daley et al, 2005;Meunier et al, 2011;Slagt et al, 2012). The involvement of the three caregivers made it possible to test the validity of the transactional model in three different interactional systems.…”

“…At the same time, EB is thought to be more likely to emerge or persist when caregivers resort to criticism, controlling or harsh discipline that in turn reinforces children's problematic behavior (Dishion, French, & Patterson, 1995;Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, 1989;Slagt et al, 2012;Snyder, Reid, & Patterson, 2003). It has therefore been suggested that negative transactions account for the development of EB.…”

“…With regard to EB, caring for externalized children is often described as more challenging and less rewarding than caring for other children, leading to lower levels of satisfaction, negative feelings, and higher criticism in caregivers as well as to more negative childrearing behaviors (Coleman & Karraker, 2003;Meunier, Roskam, & Browne, 2011;Slagt, Deković, de Haan, van den Akker, & Prinzie, 2012). At the same time, EB is thought to be more likely to emerge or persist when caregivers resort to criticism, controlling or harsh discipline that in turn reinforces children's problematic behavior (Dishion, French, & Patterson, 1995;Patterson, DeBaryshe, & Ramsey, 1989;Slagt et al, 2012;Snyder, Reid, & Patterson, 2003).…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oExternalizing behavior (EB) has been found to be pervasive in children across different interactional systems. The transactional model is one of the most interesting and plausible mechanisms explaining the development of behavioral problems (Sameroff, 2009). The main goal of the study is to test bidirectional and recursive transactional relations between the quality of the caregiver-child relationship and children's externalizing behavior. The transactional model was tested in three-wave longitudinal cross-lagged models involving 117 children (78.5% boys) aged 4 at the beginning of the study and three caregivers, i.e. their mother, father and teacher. All of the children had been clinically referred for externalizing behavior. The multi-informant three-wave design was an original feature of this research. The results provided no evidence for a transactional process. The results suggest the singularity of each of these three interactional systems. They are discussed from the theoretical viewpoint and in terms of their clinical implications.

“…Parental efficacy is defined as one's estimation of one's ability to be a competent and successful parent (Coleman & Karraker, 2003). It is a focal component of parenting and is connected to a general sense of self-efficacy and positive affect (Coleman & Karraker, 2003) as well as to supportive parenting and limited use of inefficient disciplinary means (Slagt, Deković, De Haan, Van den Akker, & Prinzie, 2012).…”

“This Is My Responsibility”: Parental Experience of Former Soviet Union Immigrant Parents in Israel

This qualitative study focuses on the parenting experience of immigrant parents from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israel. Seventeen in-depth open interviews with FSU immigrant parents were conducted. All participants had been living in Israel between one-and-a-half and five years and had adolescent children aged 11 to 17. The central theme that emerges from the interviews is the participants' sense of parental responsibility, which is based on four central components: control, involvement, discipline, and parental guidance. Immigration challenges the participants' abilities to fulfil their responsibilities as parents by exposing them and their children to cultural differences in child-rearing practices and language difficulties. Pressures of work and learning to live in a new culture may lead to a lack of emotional and physical availability to their children. Participants try to cope with these challenges by maintaining child-rearing practices used in the FSU. Many parents report this means of coping as unsuccessful and feel helpless and uncertain in tackling new parental dilemmas posed by immigration.

“…This was the only process that was tested. The second study (Slagt, Deković, de Haan, van den Akker, & Prinzie, 2012) included mothers and fathers and their children followed from pre-adolescence to adolescence (6 to 10 years old at T1). The authors tested a PSE-driven process where PSE predicted changes in children's externalizing directly (PSEchild behaviors) or via supportive parenting and inept discipline (PSEparentingchild behaviors).…”

PostprintThis is the accepted version of a paper published in Journal of family psychology. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination.Citation for the original published paper (version of record):Glatz, T., Buchanan, C M. (2015) Over-time associations among parental self-efficacy, promotive parenting practices, and adolescents' externalizing behaviors concerning the associations over time. Theory predicts three types of processes relevant to these associations: a PSE-driven process, a parent behavior-driven process, and a child-driven process.In this study, we tested these processes during early to middle adolescence using reports from 401 mothers and fathers from 305 families, and their adolescents (Mage = 11.5), at three time points. Cross-lagged panel models were used to examine the associations among PSE, promotive parenting practices, and adolescents' externalizing. Results supported a PSE-driven process for mothers within early adolescence. Additionally, evidence for parent behavior-driven and child-driven processes emerged at different times within this developmental period.
