“Relations between Parenting and Externalizing and Internalizing Problem Behavior in Early Adolescence: Child Behavior As Moderator and Predictor”, E. Reitz, M. Dekovic, A. M. Meijer2006-06-01 (; similar)⁠:

In this longitudinal study we investigated relations between parenting and externalizing and internalizing problem behavior during early adolescence. First, we examined parenting effects on problem behavior, including child behavior as a moderator. Second, we examined child behavior as predictor of parenting, also including moderator effects.

A total of 650 13–14-year-olds filled out the Youth Self-Report and questionnaires about parenting at 2 points within a one-year interval.

Relations between parenting and problem behavior appeared to be stronger for externalizing than for internalizing problem behavior. Both parenting effects and child effects were found. Parenting statistically-significantly predicted an increase in externalizing problem behavior one year later. Adolescent’s previous level of problem behavior predicted changes in parenting (involvement and decisional autonomy granting). [reverse causality] In addition, parental and child characteristics interacted in predicting outcome.
