Examined associations
between parental monitoring and adolescent adjustment. Found that
higher monitoring was associated with higher grade point average,
lower depression, less sexual activity and minor delinquency, except
for boys' depression. Monitoring effects increased across grade
level for boys and decreased for girls. Monitoring predicted problem
behaviors for children of mothers employed full time, with gender
moderating these associations. (Author/KB)
