Parenting within residential neighborhoods: A pluralistic approach with African American and Latino families at the center
2019, Advances in Child Development and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :A limited number of empirical studies have examined parental monitoring as a function of neighborhood characteristics in concert. Jones et al. (2005) found that African American parents' perceptions of neighborhood social support were not directly associated with parental monitoring, but the effect of neighborhood social support was dependent on neighborhood problems. Specifically, neighborhood social support was positively associated with parental monitoring only under conditions of high neighborhood problems.
Parenting and youth sexual risk in context: The role of community factors
2017, Journal of AdolescenceCitation Excerpt :Aim 1 findings were largely consistent with hypotheses and most of the previous literature (e.g., Odgers et al., 2012). Previous research inconsistent with this study's results (e.g., Armistead et al., 2002; Jones et al., 2005) has considered only one aspect of parenting, finding that monitoring is enhanced in the context of poor neighborhood quality. Examined as a latent construct that includes relationship quality, monitoring, and parental involvement, parenting appears to be compromised by neighborhood quality, pointing to the importance of understanding parenting and its contextual influences from a multidimensional approach.
