Low parental monitoring is a well-established risk factor for and presumed cause of teen problem behavior. However, an integrated theory for how monitoring changes teen behavior has not been articulated. We propose a model in which parental monitoring can reduce teen misbehavior via nine mechanisms organized into behavior-management (B), context-control (C), and relationship/support-mediated (R) domains (BCR model). Parental monitoring increases the expectation and actual occurrence of punishment for misbehavior (B), enables the parent to steer the teens’ socialization contexts (peers, nonparent adults, siblings, media) away from those that encourage misbehavior (C), and strengthens the teen’s bond to parent, disclosure of information, and receipt of social support (R)—all of which in turn reduce misbehavior.

父母监控如何改变青少年行为的理论

父母监督不足是青少年问题行为的一个公认的风险因素和推测原因。然而，关于监控如何改变青少年行为的综合理论尚未阐明。我们提出了一个模型，其中父母监控可以通过分为行为管理（B）、情境控制（C）和关系/支持介导（R）领域的九种机制来减少青少年的不当行为（BCR模型）。家长监督增加了对不当行为的惩罚的期望和实际发生率（B），使父母能够引导青少年的社交环境（同龄人、非父母的成年人、兄弟姐妹、媒体）远离那些鼓励不当行为的环境（C），并加强青少年的与父母的联系、信息的披露和社会支持的接受（R）——所有这些反过来又会减少不当行为。
