Sex Differences in the Causes of Self-Control: An Examination of Mediation, Moderation, and Gendered Etiologies Journal of Criminal Justice 38,6 (November 2010): 1122-1131. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047235210001686 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Discipline; Gender Differences; Neighborhood Effects; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Pre-natal Care/Exposure; School Characteristics/Rating/Safety; Self-Regulation/Self-Control Sex is one of the most robust predictors of self-control, with a consistent finding that girls score higher on a variety of measures of self-control. In this research, we investigate three possible reasons for why this is true: first, we examine whether current predictors of self-control mediate the effect of sex on self-control, second, we examine whether sex moderates the effect of current predictors on self-control and third, we examine the possibility that the causes of self-control are gendered, necessitating different causal models for boys and girls. Using data from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth79, we assess three, related questions: Is the sex effect on self-control mediated by current predictors of self-control? Does sex moderate the effects of current predictors of self-control? Does the causal model predicting self-control differ for boys and girls? We find that the sex effect on self-control is robust; does not moderate the etiology of self-control; and although partially mediated by etiological variables, remains a significant predictor of self-control. We also find that current predictors do a poor job of explaining girls' acquisition of self-control, suggesting a gendered etiology of self-control. [Copyright © Elsevier] |

Gender Differences in Associations with Deviant Peer Groups: Examining Individual, Interactional, and Compositional Factors Deviant Behavior 35,5 (May 2014): 394-411. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2014.855098#.Uv0sJhDvDpV Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Discipline; Gender Differences; Neighborhood Effects; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Punishment, Corporal; Self-Regulation/Self-Control; Social Contacts/Social Network; Social Influences Researchers have long known that boys are more likely to have deviant peers than are girls. Yet, little research has tried to explain why boys and girls differ in their decision to associate with deviant peers. With the salience of deviant peers well established as a robust predictor of delinquency, we address the question, are the predictors of association with deviant peers different for boys and girls? In our examination of family and community processes, individual effects, and peer group composition factors, we find that the predictors of association with deviant peers differ by gender. In addition, our findings suggest gender divergences in the causes of both deviant peer association and deviant peer pressure. We discuss the implications of our research for both theoretical development and appropriate model estimation. |

Mechanisms Linking Depression to Delinquency for Males and Females Feminist Criminology 5,1 (January 2010): 8-28. Also: http://fcx.sagepub.com/content/early/2009/09/16/1557085109345468.abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Depression (see also CESD); Gender Differences; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The current study examines whether the mechanisms underlying the relationship between depression and delinquency vary between male and female adolescents. Four potential mechanisms are considered in the analyses: weakened internal controls, weakened social controls, peer rejection, and substance use. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth–Child and Young Adult data reveal that depression increases the odds of peer rejection for males, which subsequently increases males' involvement in delinquency. Results suggest that substance abuse mediates the relationship between depression and delinquency for female adolescents. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed. |

The Stability of Risk-seeking from Adolescence to Emerging Adulthood Journal of Criminal Justice 40,4 (July-August 2012): 313-322. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047235212000827 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Risk-Taking; Self-Regulation/Self-Control; Transition, Adulthood Purpose: The current study examines the stability of the risk-seeking component of self-control using a second-order latent class growth model. Methods: Longitudinal data from 962 respondents from the NLSY79-Child and Young Adult sample are used to examine the stability of the risk-seeking component of self-control from ages 14 to 23. Results: Data reveal three trajectories of risk-seeking (low, moderate, and high) that maintain strong relative stability from adolescence through early adulthood. Further, two trajectories of risk-seeking (moderate and high) maintain absolute stability, whereas the low risk-seeking group exhibits statistically significant decreases in risk-seeking over time. Conclusions: The SOLCGA may provide a stricter test of the stability hypothesis since it accounts for measurement error in the construct prior to estimating the developmental trajectories. The results from the SOLCGA support Gottfredson and Hirschi's hypotheses that self-control will remain stable from adolescence into emerging adulthood. |
