Abstract:
|
Using survey and videotaped data collected from 456 families participating in the Iowa Youth and Families Project, this paper focuses on the effect of BMI on four adolescent outcomes: delinquency, substance use, depression, and school commitment. While SEM results indicate that being overweight as a child is associated with poor developmental outcomes, much of that relationship is mediated by quality of parenting. Parents of overweight children engage in more hostility and harsh discipline, and less warmth, consistency, inductive reasoning and monitoring. This poor parenting is strongly predictive of higher levels of delinquency and lower school commitment for both boys and girls, greater substance use for boys and higher levels of depression for girls. |
