    Author: Caldwell RM, Beutler LE, An Ross S, Clayton Silver N.
    Journal: J Adolesc; 2006 Jun; 29(3):459-64. PubMed ID: 16125768.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined relationships between parental monitoring (mother and father), self-esteem, and delinquency among 95 adjudicated Mexican American male adolescents who were on probationary status with the juvenile justice system. Consistent with previous literature pertaining to familial processes and delinquency among the general adolescent population, findings from the current study revealed that parental monitoring was negatively associated with delinquency. In addition, self-esteem was shown to be positively correlated with delinquency. These results highlight the generalizability of previous research related to familial, emotional, and behavioral processes among Mexican American male adolescents.
