Reliance on self-report studies and correlational statistics has weakened the contributions of these studies. Collins, Maccoby, Steinberg, Hetherington, and Bornstein (2000) recently identified several more rigorous types of designs that have recently been used to specify parental contributions to social development. Among these are behaviorgenetics designs augmented by specific measures of environment; studies distinguishing among children varying in genetically influenced predispositions in terms of their responses to different environmental conditions; experimental and quasi-experimental studies of change in children’s behavior as a result of their exposure to parents’ behavior, after controlling for children’s initial characteristics; and research on interactions between parenting and nonfamilial environmental influences and contexts.
