This study uses data from the Pathways to Desistence study to test if parenting (monitoring and warmth) indirectly influences delinquency through its impact on delinquent peer association (antisocial influence and behavior) among a sample of serious juvenile offenders ( n = 1,354) and if this indirect effect is moderated by self-control. The results suggest that parental monitoring (but not warmth) predicted delinquency through both peer antisocial influence and peer behavior. Specifically, lower monitoring result in higher peer effects that, in turn, contribute to higher delinquency. The findings also suggest that this process is moderated by self-control such that the indirect effect is only significant at lower levels of self-control. The current study has important implications for understanding the role that peers and self-control play on the relationship between specific aspects of parenting. These findings can help to inform intervention and prevention programs that focus on enhancing parenting to reduce delinquency.

教养方式对犯罪的影响：同伴的中介作用和自我控制的调节作用

本研究使用来自“生存之路”研究的数据来测试，在严重青少年犯罪者样本中（n = 1,354），养育方式（监控和温暖）是否通过对不良同伴交往（反社会影响和行为）的影响而间接影响犯罪间接效应是通过自我控制来调节的。结果表明，父母的监督（但不是温暖）通过同伴反社会影响和同伴行为来预测犯罪行为。具体而言，较低的监控会导致较高的同伴效应，进而导致较高的犯罪率。研究结果还表明，这一过程受到自我控制的调节，因此间接效应仅在自我控制水平较低时才显着。目前的研究对于理解同伴和自我控制在养育子女的特定方面之间的关系中所发挥的作用具有重要意义。这些发现有助于为干预和预防计划提供信息，这些计划的重点是加强养育子女以减少犯罪。
