Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

206
Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...

Social identity constitutes a significant aspect of an individual’s self-concept, shaped by membership in various social groups, including gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and political affiliation. Individuals associate specific traits with particular social groups, leading to internalization of these traits. For example, musicians are often perceived as creative, while women are frequently associated with nurturing tendencies. Once individuals identify with a...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Intergenerational continuity in gang membership is poorly understood, with limited research on its causal mechanisms.
  • Existing qualitative literature suggests a potential cycle of gang involvement across generations, but empirical evidence is scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine intergenerational continuity in gang membership using prospective, longitudinal data.
  • To investigate the mediating role of parenting behaviors in the parent-child gang membership relationship.
  • To explore the influence of parent sex, child sex, and level of contact on this continuity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS) and Rochester Intergenerational Study (RIGS).
  • Analyzed 371 parent-child dyads using logistic regressions and path analyses.
  • Accounted for moderating influences of parent sex, child sex, parent-child sex combinations, and contact frequency.

Main Results:

  • Found evidence of intergenerational continuity in gang membership between mothers and daughters.
  • Identified continuity between fathers and sons, conditional on level of contact.
  • Maltreatment was found to mediate the relationship between father and son gang membership.
  • No significant pathways to daughter gang membership were identified through mothers.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides empirical support for intergenerational continuity in gang membership.
  • Parent sex, child sex, and level of contact are crucial factors in understanding this intergenerational cycle.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the causal pathways linking parental and child gang involvement.
