The “Cause” of Low Self-Control (2008, background): “For both the RFI and the CFI, values close to 1 indicate a very good fit and generally any measure above .90 is considered a good fit (Gibbs et al. 2003).”
Evidence of Negligible Parenting Influences on Self‐Control, Delinquent Peers, and Delinquency in a Sample of Twins (2008, background): “Studies by Feldman and Weinberger (1994), Gibbs, Giever, and Martin (1998), Gibbs, Giever, and Higgins (2003), Hay (2001), Higgins (2002), Polakowski (1994), Pratt, Turner, and Piquero (2004), and Unnever, Cullen, and Pratt (2003) converge to show that certain parenting practices are positively…”
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Levels of Self-Control and Delinquent Peer Affiliation (2009, background): “The skeptical reader will be quick to point out that there is a body of research that has revealed some evidence linking parental socialization to individual levels of self-control (Gibbs et al., 1998; Gibbs et al., 2003; Polakowski, 1994; Unnever, Cullen, & Pratt, 2003).”
Why is “Bad” Parenting Criminogenic? Implications From Rival Theories (2006, background): “Ideally, to operationalize Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) concept of ineffective parenting, it would be necessary to have measures that indicate the timing of when the parents administered punishments.”
Low Self-Control and Police Deviance: Applying Gottfredson and Hirschi’s General Theory to Officer Misconduct (2014, background): “Piquero, 2011), organizational commitment (Haarr, 1997), and personality (Girodo, 1991) have all been found to be individual-level correlates of police misconduct. For example, Greene et al.’s (2004) study of the PPD found that female officers were 38% less likely to be involved in misconduct compar”
