“…For example, even mothers who believed their child was primarily responsible for his/her behavior problems were willing to engage in BPT (Peters et al 2005), and parents' completion of a BPT program was independent of their initial attributions (Roberts et al 1992). Similarly, although fathers' attributions predicted treatment outcome in the Hoza et al (2000) study, the same was not true for mothers' attributions.…”

“…Based on the assumption that parental social cognitions, such as attributions for child behavior, influence parenting responses, these programs see changes in parent cognitions as part of a mediational chain determining the effects of BPT on parenting and ultimately on child disruptive behavior. For example, descriptive studies have reported strategies such as the introduction of a ''thoughts, feelings, behavior cycle'' as a cognitive framework for BPT (White et al 2003;Wilson and White 2006), or have sought to induce an internal parental locus of control by emphasizing to parents that by changing their own behavior, they can improve their child's behavior (Roberts et al 1992). Although findings from such studies suggest that parental cognitions can be changed and that such changes are associated with improved child behavior, controlled comparisons of the incremental benefits of these cognitive approaches versus standard BPT programs are not provided.…”

“…However, there also is evidence that once parents enter BPT programs, this engagement leads to changes in parental social cognitions. For example, parents who successfully completed a BPT program reported increased attributions of parental control (Roberts et al 1992). In addition, presumably because BPT programs provide parents with specific strategies for managing difficult child behavior, they promote significant and clinically meaningful increases in feelings of parenting efficacy (e.g., Anastopoulos et al 1993;Bor et al 2002;Feinfield and Baker 2004;Gardner et al 2006;Pisterman et al 1992).…”

Behavioral parent training (BPT) is a widely used, evidence-based treatment for externalizing child behaviors. However, the ability of BPT programs to be maximally effective remains limited by relatively low rates of acceptance, attendance, and adherence to treatment. Previous reviews have focused on a variety of demographic and mental health characteristics of parents and children that are predictive of poor outcomes in BPT. This paper focuses instead on consideration of parental social cognitions, and how incorporation of these cognitions may, or may not, be useful in advancing the effectiveness of BPT. We first review evidence suggesting limited incremental effects to incorporating parental cognitions within the context of BPT programs. Then, we examine the role of two particular types of parental social cognitions, attributions and parenting efficacy, in relation to the initial stages of accepting and engaging in BPT. We conclude by noting limitations in available research on the links between parental social cognitions and BPT, and we outline a number of potentially useful directions that may clarify whether or not parental social cognitions should be accorded greater attention either in the initial stages or throughout BPT programs.

“…For example, parents seeking help in managing child behavior problems reported more external parenting LOCRs than did parents who reported no parenting difficulties (Campis, Lyman, & Prentice-Dunn, 1986). Similarly, in families presenting for treatment of oppositional child behavior, parents of more coercive children reported more external parenting LOCRs than did parents of less coercive youths (Roberts, Joe, & Rowe-Hallbert, 1992). One study obtained similar results in a non-clinical sample; external parenting LOCR and parent-reported behavior correlated significantly with problems in non-referred children (Morton, 1997).…”

“…For example, even mothers who believe that the cause of their children's behavioral problems was attributable to child factors were disposed to participate in the preventive intervention (Peters et al 2005). In a similar vein, Roberts, Joe & Rowe-Hallbert (1992) have reported that parents' completion of a preventive intervention had no relation to their initial attributions about the cause of their children's problems. However, most of the research has demonstrated that parental perceptions and attributions for their children's behavior problems are related to parental participation in a way that the more parents believe that they are somewhat responsible for their child's problem behaviors (or for their solution) the more they will be likely to attend family-based preventive interventions (Mah & Jonhnston, 2008).…”

participación parental en intervenciones familiares preventivas de toxicodependencias: una revisión bibliográfica empírica [ 39 ] sips -pedagogia social. revista interuniversitaria [1139-1723 (2013) Jorge NegreirosUniversidad de Oporto RESUMEN: El uso y el abuso de drogas son muy habituales en la adolescencia. Los padres desempeñan un importante papel en el consumo de drogas, tanto incitando a su consumo como fomentando la protección y la resiliencia. Las intervenciones familiares han demostrado ser un enfoque beneficioso en la prevención del consumo adolescente y otras conductas problemáticas de la adolescencia. No obstante, los bajos índices de participación representan una importante amenaza a la validez de las intervenciones familiares preventivas. Desde hace tiempo se viene reconociendo que uno de los principales problemas para la realización de intervenciones familiares es la captación, retención y participación de los progenitores. Aparte de esto, se ha visto que una mayor participación de los padres en las formaciones de prevención para progenitores está asociada a un efecto duradero sobre la conducta adolescente. Identificar específicamente lo que determina que la familia se implique y participe en los programas de prevención familiares es de máxima importancia, puesto que la implicación de los padres puede ser un factor de pronóstico de la eficacia del programa. Últi-mamente se ha prestado más atención a entender de qué manera los factores individuales, contextuales y de intervención pueden predecir la participación parental en las intervenciones familiares de prevención de drogodependencias. Los estudios sobre los factores de pronóstico de participación son útiles para identificar a aquellos individuos que hallan en mayor riesgo de abandonar. En este trabajo ofrecemos un repaso de la evolución más reciente de los diversos factores de pronóstico de la participación familiar en programas preventivos de consumo de drogas y otros problemas. A partir de los determinantes específicos y dinámicos de la participación que se estudian en este trabajo, al final proponemos un marco teórico de la participación familiar que presenta cuatro componentes básicos: (1) patrones de interacción familiar; (2) conocimiento y percepciones de los padres sobre los problemas conductuales de los hijos; (3) variables psicológicas de los hijos; y (4) percepciones de los padres sobre la intervención preventiva.PALABRAS CLAVE: Prevención de consumo de drogodependencias, intervención familiar, factores de pronóstico, participación parental.ABSTRACT: Substance use and misuse are very common in adolescence. Parents play an important part in substance use, both through inducing risk or promoting protection and resilience. Family-based interventions have proven to be a useful approach to prevent adolescent substance use and other youth problem behaviors. However, low participation rates are an important threat to the validity of family-based preventive interventions. It has long been recognized that one of the major problems in imp...
