Lisa J. Crockett is a professor of psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her research interests focus on adolescent development, with an emphasis on the processes and contextual factors leading to risk behavior. In recent years, she has pursued two primary lines of research, one focused on the role of self-regulation in the development of risky sexual (and other) behaviors and the other focusing on ethnic differences and similarities in the connections between parenting and adolescent adjustment. The latter program utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to illuminate the understandings of parent–child relationships held by adolescents from diverse ethnic groups. Her work has been funded by NICHD, NIMH, and NIAAA. Dr Crockett has served as a reviewer for NIH, NSF, and IES. She is past associate editor of the Journal of Research on Adolescence and has served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Adolescent Research and the Journal of Early Adolescence. She is currently on the editorial board of Developmental Psychology. She is a coauthor or editor of several books, including Asian American Parenting and Parent–Adolescent Relationships, published in 2010.

N2 - Parenting is a critical issue for parents and their adolescent children. Efforts to characterize parenting generally have taken one of the three approaches, focusing on specific parenting practices, global parenting dimensions, or parenting styles. Despite considerable overlap among these constructs, they differ in important ways, and each offers a distinct framework for conceptualizing parenting. In this article, we review these constructs, discuss how they differ, and summarize the empirical research linking them to adolescent well-being. We also examine areas of controversy regarding these constructs, particularly the idea that key features of parenting, as well as the effects of parenting styles, dimensions, and practices, may vary across cultural groups and ecological settings.
