Barriers to Involvement and Their Relationship to Latino Academic Achievement}, volume={39}, ISSN={["1552-6364"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0739986317700837}, DOI={10.1177/0739986317700837}, abstractNote={ High parental involvement has consistently been shown to enhance academic achievement among Latino youth. Still, some youth continue to thrive academically despite low parental involvement. The Theory of Rationality suggests that the impact of even potentially negative behaviors depends on how the behavior is interpreted. To test the application of this theory to parental “noninvolvement” among Latinos, we assessed how adolescent rationales about their parents’ noninvolvement in their schooling affected grade point average (GPA). Results showed that parental lack of transportation and feeling unwelcomed at school as reasons for noninvolvement were significantly and negatively related to GPA, and conflict with work schedule was significantly and positively related to GPA. Other reasons for noninvolvement were not significantly associated with GPA. Findings indicate that the meaning adolescents attribute to parental behavior may be a stronger predictor of academic achievement than the amount of involvement alone. }, number={2}, journal={HISPANIC JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Alexander, Jamie D. and Cox, Ronald B., Jr. and Behnke, Andrew and Larzelere, Robert E.}, year={2017}, month={May}, pages={169–179} }

Using a general population sample of urban seventh-grade students ( N = 1,736), we examined how supportive parenting, television viewing, perceived social norms, and having a friend and/or sibling who is a teen parent were uniquely associated with the probability and extent that early adolescents endorse favorable attitudes toward sexual activity. Supportive parenting was negatively associated with the probability of endorsement but not the strength of the endorsement. Perceived social norms and having a friend who is a teen parent were positively associated with both probability and strength of endorsement. Having a sibling who is a teen parent and greater television viewing were significantly and positively associated with the probability and extent of favorable attitudes toward sexual activity for females. Implications for prevention efforts targeting parenting and school policies are discussed.}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Early Adolescence}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Cox, Ronald B. and Shreffler, Karina M. and Merten, Michael J. and Gallus, Kami L.
