Parental Regulation and Adolescent Discretionary Time-Use Decisions: Findings from the NLSY97 In: Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches. R.T. Michael, ed. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001: pp. 79-105 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Children, School-Age; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parental Influences; Teenagers; Television Viewing; Time Use Chapter: Used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort, to explore parents' role in influencing adolescents' decisions regarding time use. The sample included 2,318 12-13 yr olds. The link between parental regulation and adolescent time use was examined, and the hypothesis that parents who regulate adolescent behavior have a positive influence on time-use decisions was tested. Three dimensions of parental regulation were identified: regulation through structure, regulation through monitoring, and regulation through rules. Three aspects of time use were explored: time spent watching TV, reading for pleasure, and doing homework. Parental regulation was found to have a significant influence on all 3 of these time-use activities. The findings also suggest that some methods of regulation may be more effective than others. Those parents who regulated via structure and monitoring were found to have greater effect on adolescent's time-use decisions than did those who regulated their adolescents' behavior primarily through the use of rules.
