Assessing the Impact of Family Process on Rural African American Adolescents' Competence and Behavior Using Latent Growth Curve Analysis
Toldson, Ivory A.
Journal of Negro Education, v75 n3 p430-442 Sum 2006
A study examines the long-term effects of a family process program on social and cognitive competence and aggressive and deviant behavior among rural African American adolescents. Results suggest that family processes influence the status and changes in adolescent competence and behavior, while analysis of covariant structures suggest that maternal depressive symptoms and financial problems indirectly arbitrate high-risk behavior among rural teenagers.
