The Association of Personality Type in Childhood with Violence in Adolescence Research in Nursing and Health 30,3 (June 2007): 308-319.

The relationship of personality type at age 6 years to interpersonal violence at age 12 years was investigated. Participants from the Child Sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth with complete data measures for the three time periods were categorized into one of the three personality types at age 6: under-controlled, resilient, and over-controlled. At age 12, participants assigned to the under-controlled personality type 6 years earlier were more likely than those assigned to the resilient or over-controlled personality types to report that they had hurt someone seriously at least once in the past year. The association of childhood personality to interpersonal violence 6 years later was not mediated by peer rejection or associations with deviant peers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |

The Under-Controlled Do It First: Childhood Personality and Sexual Debut Research in Nursing and Health 31,6 (December 2008): 626-639.

The relationship of childhood personality type to the timing of first sexual intercourse was investigated through survival analysis. Participants from the Child Sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were categorized into one of the three personality types at 5 or 6 years of age: under-controlled, resilient, and over-controlled. Those categorized as under-controlled at 5 or 6 years of age were more likely than those resilient or over-controlled to have sexual intercourse before the age of 16. The extent to which three early adolescent factors-team/club membership, church attendance, and peer influence-mediate the association of childhood personality type to the timing of first sexual intercourse was also explored. The association of childhood personality to timing of first sexual intercourse was partially mediated by peer influence at 11 or 12 years of age. The findings are interpreted in light of their implications for researchers and practitioners interested in improving the health and well-being of children and adolescents.

Taking the Long View: The Prenatal Environment and Early Adolescent Overweight Research in Nursing and Health 30,3 (June 2007): 297–307. Also: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/114265451/ABSTRACT Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); Breastfeeding; Child Development; Child Health; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Ethnic Differences; Height; Height, Height-Weight Ratios; Obesity; Pre-natal Care/Exposure; Pre/post Natal Behavior; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of this study was to assess the independent effects of the prenatal environment and cumulated social risks on the likelihood of being overweight at age 12/13 years. Maternal prepregnancy weight and smoking during pregnancy were the measures of prenatal exposures. Average lifetime per capita income and mother's lifetime marital status were the measures of cumulative social risks. Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth's Child–Mother file indicated that exposures to tobacco smoke in utero, maternal prepregnancy overweight/ obesity, and maternal unmarried status were significant risks for adolescent overweight. The risk for overweight was reduced by breastfeeding if the mother was overweight/obese prepregnancy. Prenatal and early life factors were related to adolescent overweight, providing an important window for intervention. 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
