Clinical Psychology Developmental Psychology externalizing behavior parenting practices child development Child externalizing behavior (i.e., defiance, impulsivity, disruptiveness, aggression, delinquency, and hyperactivity) places children at risk for a broad range of adverse outcomes. Parenting has been implicated as a factor in the expression and maintenance of child externalizing behavior, but limitations exist that hinder the interpretation of findings from prior studies of associations between child externalizing behavior and parenting behavior. The current study used a large, nationally representative dataset that included multiple assessment points across child development and multiple informants and methods of assessment to examine the relationships between child externalizing behavior and parenting practices, including the moderating effect of child gender and elevated ADHD/ODD symptoms. Results of cross-lagged path model analyses revealed reciprocal relationships among child externalizing behavior and effective/ineffective parenting practices, though the pattern of results differed slightly between mothers and fathers. Child gender moderated these relationships such that some associations were stronger for males and others were stronger for females. Elevated ADHD/ODD symptoms did not emerge as a robust moderator, though group differences were identified for one model that was tested. These results underscore the need for early intervention that targets elevated child externalizing behavior and ineffective parenting practices, which may help to foster positive parent-child relationships and mitigate the risk of children with these problems developing more severe, clinically significant externalizing symptoms (e.g., ADHD and/or ODD). 2017-09-20 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou149277622119009 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou149277622119009 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
