Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/4700While many demographic groups have been used to explore the self-control theory, there has been little research using the Mexican population or those of differing generation. This paper explores the relationship between parenting, self-control, and delinquency in a sample of adolescents from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, using samples of Mexican-Americans and those of different generational status to test the generalizability of the theory.Text149 pages1 file (.pdf)enself-controlMexicangenerationacculturationassimilationdelinquencyparentingDissertation
