Does Parenting Explain the Effects of Structural Conditions on Children's Antisocial Behavior? A Comparison of Blacks and Whites Working Paper, Minneapolis, MN: Department of Sociology, University of Minnesota, 1993 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Sociology, University of Minnesota Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Alcohol Use; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Problems; Children, Behavioral Development; Children, Well-Being; Deviance; Fathers, Absence; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Household Composition; Marital Status; Parents, Single; Poverty; Racial Differences; Welfare; Well-Being Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Despite the fact that black children are disproportionately likely to live in poverty and with single mothers, evidence about the effects of those experiences on antisocial behavior is based largely on samples of white children. We draw on conceptual models which link structural conditions to children's well-being through the mediating influences of parental distress and unsupportive parenting, to evaluate race differences in the processes which link poverty and single parenthood to antisocial behavior. Based on data from the 1988 Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data set, the effects of poverty and single-parenthood on parenting, and of parenting on antisocial behavior, do not differ significantly by race. Furthermore, variations in parenting account for some, but not all, of the effects of structural condition on antisocial behavior in both groups. |
