Reading the Research: Module 10

"Families, peers and delinquent behaviors"

The Student Learning Outcomes for this course include (1) exposure to empirical findings in the field of human development and (2) application of research findings as they relate to every day life.  Each module I will provide a current example (most often from a peer-reviewed journal article) of research connected to a topic explored in that module. 

 

A study in China examined the interactive influence of family functioning, deviant peer affiliation and delinquency. The results suggest the positive power of harmonious family environment along with parental concern and control.
