TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - South Korean adolescents' delinquency, disclosure, parental knowledge, parent-child closeness, and delinquent peer associations JO - Journal of research on adolescence A1 - Rudy, Duane A1 - Han, Seunghee A1 - Yu, ManSoo SP - 514 EP - 529 VL - 33 IS - 2 N2 - The present study sought to examine longitudinal associations among delinquency, children's disclosure to parents, parent-child relationship quality, and parental knowledge in a South Korean sample. Longitudinal research shows that in Western samples, delinquency is negatively associated with the latter three variables. We also sought to test whether the associations varied across gender. We found little evidence of significant reciprocal relationships among the variables and no differences in associations across gender. A second analysis revealed that adolescents' involvement with delinquent peers was a good predictor of subsequent delinquency for males and females. Implications of the findings for future research and practice are discussed.
