Parent and Adolescent Perceptions of Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Risk Involvement (2003, background): “Although few studies have measured parental monitoring from the parent’s perspective (Kerr & Stattin, 2000; Pettit et al., 2001; Stanton et al., 1993; Stattin & Kerr, 2000), these studies have typically examined restricted age ranges, and findings concerning the relation between parent self-report…”
Examining the components and concomitants of parental structure in the academic domain (2010, background): “There is some evidence that parents do, over time, react to misbehavior with less monitoring of their adolescents (Kerr and Stattin 2000).”
Stability and Changes in Problem Behavior During Adolescence: Latent Growth Analysis (2004, background): “In addition, some of the parenting behaviors often assessed in research, such as for example monitoring, seem actually to reflect the quality of the relationship between parent and the child, rather than deliberate and specific parental behavior ( Kerr and Stattin, 2000 ).”
Lying Behavior, Family Functioning and Adjustment in Early Adolescence (2006, methodology): “Because the social life of the adolescent tends to shift away from the home environment, parents are more dependent on what their children tell about curfews, where they go to and whom they are with (Kerr and Stattin, 2000).”
Parenting and Peer Relationships: Reinvigorating Research on Family–Peer Linkages in Adolescence (2011, neutral): “In 2000, Margaret Kerr and Hakan Stattin published two articles (Kerr & Stattin, 2000; Stattin & Kerr, 2000) challenging the validity of studies purporting to show that parental monitoring was strongly associated with child outcomes.”
Parental influences on adolescent problem behavior: revisiting Stattin and Kerr. (2004, methodology): “The strengths of the current study include its longitudinal design and availability of adolescent reports on a wide range of parenting variables that were highly similar to those used in work conducted by Stattin and Kerr (2000; Kerr & Stattin, 2000).”
The development of parental monitoring during adolescence: A meta-analysis (2018, methodology): “Entire papers were screened on the bases of the following three hierarchical criteria: (1) measures directly derived from Stattin and Kerr (2000); (2) data-set based on community samples and sample age range between 12 to 25 years old; (3) longitudinal data collection of the measures of interest.”
The Role of Perceived Parental Knowledge on Emerging Adults’ Risk Behaviors (2008, background): “…behaviors, such as substance use (Pettit et al. 2001; Tragesser et al. 2007), delinquency (Barnes et al. 2006), and sexual activity (Longmore et al. 2001); and lower levels of internalizing behaviors, such as depressed mood and low self-esteem (Kerr and Stattin 2000; Stattin and Kerr 2000).”
Issues and Challenges in Studying Parental Control: Toward a New Conceptualization (2009, background): “However, such knowledge is not actually driven by parents’ control but rather by children’s disclosure (Kerr & Stattin, 2000). as other characteristics.”
Perceived Parental Control and Parent–Child Relational Qualities in Chinese Adolescents in Hong Kong (2005, background): “However, monitoring means surveillance and/or tracking (Dishion & McMahon, 1998), yet it has been commonly measured in terms of parental knowledge of children’s activities (Crouter & Head, 2002; Kerr & Stattin, 2000 ).”
Parental Mediation of Children's Internet Use (2008, background): “…restrictions, interaction restrictions, and monitoring practices (see Table 1).2 However, the expectation that increasing mediation would reduce risks was not supported, as has been found also for parental control and monitoring of other areas of risk in adolescence (Kerr & Stattin, 2000).”
Parent-Child Information Frictions and Human Capital Investment: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2020, neutral): “[35] Kerr, Margaret and Hakan Stattin (2000).”
What Do Adolescents Need for Healthy Development? Implications for Youth Policy (2000, positive): “These effects may be, in part, the result of youth feeling more comfortable talking to their parents (Kerr & Stattin, 2000).”
