Hussong, Andrea M.; Huang, Wenjing; Curran, Patrick J.; Chassin, Laurie; Zucker, Robert A. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2010
Although previous studies show that children of alcoholic parents have higher rates of externalizing symptoms compared to their peers, it remains unclear whether the timing of children's externalizing symptoms is linked to that of their parent's alcohol-related symptoms. Using a multilevel modeling approach, we tested whether children aged 2…

Lahey, Benjamin B.; Van Hulle, Carol A.; Rathouz, Paul J.; Rodgers, Joseph Lee; D'Onofrio, Brian M.; Waldman, Irwin D. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009
Inattentive-hyperactive and oppositional behavior have been hypothesized to be developmental precursors to conduct problems. We tested these hypotheses using a longitudinal sample of 6,466 offspring of women selected from nationally representative US households. Conduct problems across 8-13 years were robustly predicted by conduct problems at 4-7…

Lahey, Benjamin B.; Van Hulle, Carol A.; Waldman, Irwin D.; Rodgers, Joseph Lee; D'Onofrio, Brian M.; Pedlow, Steven; Rathouz, Paul; Keenan, Kate – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2006
Accurate descriptions of sex differences in the development of childhood conduct problems and adolescent delinquency will inform theories of their causes in fundamentally important ways. Using data on 4,572 offspring of a national sample of women, we tested descriptive hypotheses regarding sex differences. As predicted, the magnitude of sex…

A Test of Three Alternative Hypotheses regarding the Effects of Early Delinquency on Adolescent Psychosocial Functioning and Substance Involvement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mason, W. Alex; Hitchings, Julia E.; McMahon, Robert J.; Spoth, Richard L. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2007
This study compared alternative hypotheses (from general deviance, life course, and developmental psychopathology perspectives) regarding the effects of early adolescent delinquency on psychosocial functioning in family, school, and peer contexts, and on alcohol use. Analyses also examined parent-child negative affective quality, prosocial school…

Miller-Lewis, Lauren R.; Baghurst, Peter A.; Sawyer, Michael G.; Prior, Margot R.; Clark, Jennifer J.; Arney, Fiona M.; Carbone, Josephine A. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2006
This study examined the dynamic relationships between child, parenting, and family-related predictor variables and early childhood externalising behaviour problems. A community sample of 395 Australian children was followed longitudinally, and assessed at 4 and 6 years with the Child Behavior Checklist, Teacher Report Form, and standard measures…
