Abstract
In this longitudinal study, data was collected on parenting styles and children’s symptoms of psychopathology. Analyses revealed that parents and children impact one another bidirectionally over the course of the six years studied; however, in both parents’ models, child symptoms predicted parenting behaviors more frequently than parenting predicted child symptoms.
