Abstract
ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study used secondary data of urban youth to explore parental approaches as predictors of positive youth development among a group of 182 African American youth. This study aimed to examine how parental approaches (maternal and paternal encouragement and monitoring) predict prosocial behaviors (aspirations, self-efficacy, emotional restraint, and social responsibility) among a sample of African American youth residing in public housing. The regression analysis revealed three significant models. Overall, the results suggest that maternal monitoring and encouragement are essential for positive outcomes for African American youth in the context of urban public housing.
