Researchers in the NIH-funded ECHO program examined how different parenting profiles and dimensions relate to children's internalizing behaviors, such as anxiety and withdrawal, and externalizing behaviors, such as aggression. The study analyzed long-term data from families across the United States to identify which patterns of parental warmth, control and discipline are associated with better or worse behavioral outcomes in children.
