- 🚨 Our new meta-analysis on the causal influence of parenting on disruptive behaviour (DBDs) is now published in Psychological Bulletin. Across 45 quasi-experimental (QE) studies (N ≈ 38,600), we find a small but causal effect of negative parenting on DBDs.
- 📖 Background: Parenting practices are often linked to DBDs and are a key target of interventions (e.g. parent management training). However, it is unclear whether these associations are causal or reflect genetics and environmental confounding.
