Straw Men, Untested Assumptions, and Bi-directional Models: A Response to Capaldi and Brody

Abstract

Responds to commentaries by G. H. Brody (see chapter 11) and D. M. Capaldi (see chapter 12) on the authors' study addressing the issue of parental and adolescent delinquent behavior (see chapter 9). The authors address the discussants' use of the term monitoring and the issue of a bi-directional model.
