It has generally been accepted that boys and girls differ in their behavioral and emotional responses to stressful family events. These gender differences could be due to either different family risk factors affecting boys and girls or to boys coping differently in response to the same negative family events. These two alternative hypotheses form the basis of our analysis. Specifically, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), we assess whether and how (I) marital discord, (2) marital stability and change, (3) harsh discipline, and (4) maternal deviance impact three different outcomes for males and females: delinquency, alcohol use, and depression. Multivariate analyses reveal that, although females generally display more vulnerabilities to specific dimensions of family life than males, the responses to these risk factors are not constrained to gender-stereotypic outcomes

This study examines the interrelationships among social locations, parenting and antisocial behavior for both black and white children. Based on previous theoretical formulations, the authors hypothesized that the effects of social locations on children's antisocial behavior would be mediated by parenting processes and would vary by racial group. Despite minor race differences in the processes linking social locations to antisocial behavior, the general structure of these processes are quite similar for blacks and whites. Specifically, among children of both races, parenting behaviors offer a nearly complete explanation for the higher levels of antisocial behavior observed among poor children. Similar results do not appear for the other social locations that were examined. Parenting behaviors explained relatively little of the relationship between marital disruptions and antisocial behavior and maternal deviance and antisocial behavior, regardless of race.

Evaluated race differences in the processes that link poverty and single parenthood to antisocial behavior, drawing on conceptual models that link structural conditions to children's well-being through the mediating influences of parental distress and unsupportive parenting. On the basis of data from the 1988 Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data set, it was found that the total effects of poverty and single parenthood on parenting practices, and of parenting practices on antisocial behavior, do not differ significantly by race. However, the processes that create those effects do vary by race. Parenting practices and antisocial behavior are reciprocally related for Whites, but parenting practices do not significantly predict antisocial behavior for Blacks.

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.
