Mass Incarceration, Family Complexity, and the Reproduction of Childhood Disadvantage (2014, background): “…shows that there are effective parenttraining programs aimed at socializing children (Piquero et al. 2009), in addition to successful programs that work to increase a child’s self-control and prevent his or her involvement in aggression and delinquency (Piquero, Jennings, and Farrington 2010).”
A meta-analysis update on the effectiveness of early self-control improvement programs to improve self-control and reduce delinquency (2016, methodology): “Following the more general systematic reviews (Piquero et al. 2009, 2010), studies were only included if they had a randomized controlled trial design with post-test measures of self-control and/or child behavior problems for the experimental and control participants.”
“Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”: Self-Control, Risky Lifestyles, and Repeat Victimization (2012, background): “Furthermore, including self-control as a ‘‘responsivity’’ factor into these services could also increase their effectiveness, especially because victims with low self-control may be more difficult to treat (Gottfredson and Hirschi 1990; Piquero et al. 2010).”
High self-control predicts more positive emotions, better engagement, and higher achievement in school (2014, background): “control can be changed (e.g., Baumeister et al. 2006; Owsley et al. 2003; Schmeichel and Vohs 2009; see also Hagger et al. 2010; Piquero et al. 2010).”
