Premature adolescent autonomy: Parent disengagement and deviant peer process in the amplification of problem behavior
Article Abstract:
The vibrant expansion of premature autonomy discusses the situation wherein the parents of high-risk adolescents lessen the amount of their participation and suggestions when tackling problems and the effects of deviant friendships. Moreover, the adolescent males who are engaged in deviant friendships and whose parents have reduced their participation in family management are at a high risk of using marijuana and resort to antisocial acts at the age of eighteen.
