Abstract

An important number of studies have obtained associations between social and familial factors and antisocial behaviors. Some researchers have distinguished between adversity factors, such as life stresses, monoparentality and parent’s mental health, and proximal factors such as parental education practices and family interactions. Studies have demonstrated that these factors remain significant even when socioeconomic status (SES) is statistically controlled (Frick, 1994).
