Beyond parenting: An examination of the etiology of self-control (2008, background): “some studies testing this hypothesis lent support to the argument (Gibbs, Giever, & Martin, 1998; Polakowski, 1994), other research suggested that the theory requires refinement (Burt et al., 2006; Cochran, Wood, Sellers, Wilkerson, & Chamblin, 1998; Hay, 2001; Pratt, Turner, & Piquero, 2004).”
Self-Control as an Executive Function (2007, background): “An emerging body of literature has found some support for the role that parents play in the creation of self-control in their children (Burt et al., 2006; Cochran et al., 1998; Feldman & Weinberger, 1994; Gibbs et al., 1998; Gibbs, Giever, & Higgins, 2003; Hay, 2001; Polakowski, 1994; Unnever et…”
Genetic influences on the stability of low self-control: Results from a longitudinal sample of twins (2008, methodology): “Taken together, prior investigations detected moderate- to highlevels of stability in self-control over long periods of the life course, providing at least some support in favor of Gottfredson and Hirschi's stability hypothesis (but see Burt et al., 2006 ).”
Déjà vu All Over Again: Investigating Temporal Continuity of Adolescent Victimization (2008, result): “Although theory often portrays the trait of self-control as time-stable, recent research suggests that it may vary across time (e.g., Burt et al. 2006; Hay and Forrest 2006).”
Evidence of Genetic and Environmental Effects On the Development of Low Self-Control (2009, background): “Prior research has revealed that environments found in the family—such as parental maltreatment—are able to condition the effects of certain genes (Caspi et al., 2002), but other environmental stimuli are also likely to interact with certain genes.”
The “Cause” of Low Self-Control (2008, result): “These studies, along with other recent work examining a range of parenting and family influences on self-control (Burt et al. 2006; Gibbs et al. 1998; Hay 2001; Hope and Chapple 2005; Hope, Grasmick, and Pointon 2003; Perrone et al. 2004), have demonstrated that parenting and family structure have i”
