Van je ouders moet je het hebben
Summary
This study examined the relations between parenting behaviors (parental knowledge
and parental control) of both mothers and fathers and externalizing behavior of
adolescents (11-16 years). Moderation of these relations by gender was also
investigated. The sample of this study consisted of 520 adolescents (Mage = 13.03; SD
= .46). Questionnaires of adolescents were used to measure parenting behavior. To
measure externalizing behavior questionnaires of mothers and fathers were used.
Findings revealed that less parental knowledge and less parental control was
associated with more adolescent externalizing behavior. No gender differences were
found in this relation.
