Few longitudinal studies examine how "changes" in parent-child relationships are associated with changes in youth internalizing problems.

Gentile, Douglas A.; Berch, Olivia N.; Choo, Hyekyung; Khoo, Angeline; Walsh, David A. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Mass media have numerous effects on children, ranging from influencing school performance to increased or reduced aggression.

Rulison, Kelly L.; Kreager, Derek A.; Osgood, D. Wayne – Developmental Psychology, 2014
We tested 2 hypotheses derived from Moffitt's (1993) taxonomic theory of antisocial behavior, both of which are central to her explanation for the rise in delinquency during adolescence. We tested whether persistently delinquent individuals become more accepted by their peers during adolescence and whether individuals who abstain from delinquent…
