Abstract:
A bstract : This study examined temperament, executive attention, parental monitoring and relationships, and involvement in pro‐ and antisocial behaviors in an ethnically diverse sample of adolescents. We sought to relate parent‐ and self‐reported effortful control to performance on measures of executive attention and to better understand the relative contributions of individual‐difference variables and environmental variables in predicting behaviors in adolescence. The results indicated a relationship between poor executive attention and mother‐reported effortful control. Inclusion of individual‐difference variables significantly increased prediction of problem‐behavior scores, suggesting the importance of including such variables in studies of adolescent deviance.
