“…The "Conflict Discussion" or "Revealed Differences" task (e.g., Reuter & Conger, 1995) has been used relatively frequently, as have a number of other tasks such as "planning a vacation" (Donenberg & Weisz, 1997) or discussing family activities (Reuter & Conger, 1998). We selected the two tasks for the present study to parallel the internalizing and externalizing psychopathology that was the focus of the study; i.e., the Conflict Discussion focuses on the behavioral conflict that is central to externalizing problems whereas the Close Feelings task focuses on the affect and emotional relationship that is central to internalizing problems.…”

“…Warmth was composed of positive comments about the child as a person or the child's behavior, affirmations, active speaking during the task, etc. (e.g., Garber, et al, 1997;Reuter & Conger, 1998).…”

“…The CBCL produces two broadband scales (internalizing and externalizing problems) used as indices of psychopathology. CBCL scales average a one-week test-retest reliability of .89 and a , 1997;Reuter & Conger, 1998).To estimate inter-rater reliability, all tapes were coded by two trained coders, who coded independently; monthly reliability checks were conducted. The intra-class correlations (ICCs; Shrout & Fleiss, 1979) across raters ranged from good to excellent.…”

This study examined the specificity of relations between parent / caregiver behaviors and childhood internalizing and externalizing problems in a sample of 70 fourth grade children (64% male, mean age = 9.7 years). Specificity was assessed via (a) unique effects, (b) differential effects, and (c) interactive effects. When measured as unique and differential effects, specificity was not found for warmth or psychological control but was found for caregiver's use of behavior control. Higher levels of behavior control were uniquely related to lower levels of externalizing problems and higher levels of internalizing problems; differential effects analyses indicated that higher levels of behavior control were related to decreases in the within-child difference in relative levels of level of internalizing vs. externalizing problems. Interactive relations among the three parenting behavior dimensions also were identified. Although caregivers emphasized different parenting behavior dimensions across two separate caregiver-child interaction tasks, relations between parenting behavior dimensions and child psychopathology did not vary as a function of task. These findings indicate the importance of assessing and simultaneously analyzing multiple parenting behavior dimensions and multiple child psychopathology domains.Forty years of parenting research have produced consensus regarding the importance of several dimensions of parenting behavior, including behavior control, psychological control, and warmth/support (e.g., Gray & Steinberg, 1999). Yet the precise nature of the relation of these parenting dimensions to child psychopathology remains unclear. For example, there is not yet consensus as to whether parenting behavior dimensions are best considered as categorical parenting styles (e.g., authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting; Baumrind, 1991) based on simultaneous consideration of multiple dimensions, or as independent, continuous dimensions (e.g., psychological control; behavior control; Barber, 1996).Underlying the use of parenting style typologies (as opposed to separate dimensions of parenting) are several assumptions about the nature of parenting behaviors, including the belief that (a) parenting behaviors are themselves correlated (e.g., parents who are warm tend to use positive behavior control strategies), and thus parenting behaviors should be NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript considered in clusters rather than separately; and (b) the effects of one type of parenting behavior on children are dependent on the presence or absence of other parenting behaviors (i.e., parenting behaviors have interactive effects on child outcomes), and thus typologies should simultaneously consider multiple parenting behaviors. Although many studies have failed to find interactions among parenting behaviors in the prediction of child psychopathology (e.g., Barber, Olsen, & Shagle, 1994;Garber, Robinson, & Valentiner, 1997), others have found some evidence for interactive rel...

“…These can best be found when the measurement interval allows children sufficient time to experience significant behavior change (Jang & Smith, 1997). The best time interval may be highly dependent on the developmental stage of the children and therefore very difficult to determine Rueter & Conger, 1998). Our results suggest that two years could be a relevant interval of time to appraise the impact of the early risk factors under consideration.…”

Externalizing behavior (EB) is characterized by agitation, opposition, aggression, provocation, negative thoughts and transgression of social norms (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000). A certain level of EB is considered to be typical in preschoolers (Wakschlag et al., 2007). But persistent high levels of EB were found in subgroups of children (e.g. Calkins, Blandon, Williford, & Keane, 2007). Research has tried to identify risk factors that potentially increase the likelihood of EB. Based on the work of key leaders in this topic, Loeber and Farrington (2000) established a list according to several ecological levels, i.e. child, family, school, peer and neighborhood factors. The relations between child and family factors and EB have especially been documented in young children, while the potential contribution of school, peer and neighborhood factors was more specific in the prediction of school age children's and adolescents' EB. The current research examines the impact of two single risk factors at the child level, i.e. personality and inhibition capacities, and two single risk factors at the family level, i.e. attachment and parenting, and the impact of their cumulative effect on young children's EB incurring no distal family risk. We first review studies documenting the relations between children's EB and each of the four risk factors at the child and family levels. Second, we document research into cumulative risk with EB as an outcome. The main objective of the current study was to examine the impact of two child risk factors, i.e. personality and inhibition, and two proximal family risk factors, i.e. parenting and attachment, and the impact of their cumulative effect on later externalizing behavior among young children incurring no distal family risk. Data were collected in a longitudinal two-wave design from 161 non-referred and referred children aged three to five years at the onset of the study. All of the children were raised in families of middle to high socioeconomic status, i.e. their parents were educated to a middle to high level, had access to the job market and lived together as couples. The four risk domains were assessed at the onset of the study, while EB was rated both at the onset of the study and in the 24-month follow-up. Results confirmed that the four risk domains were each both correlates of EB and efficient at discriminating non-referred from referred children; that their combination regardless of their content (cumulative risk) provided a strong prediction of both later EB and non-referred vs referred sample membership. The results are discussed both for research and clinical purposes. ß
