Implication

This population-based cohort study finds two lying trajectories among adolescents, suggesting that parenting practices and family dysfunction significantly influence these patterns.

Key Points

  • Most adolescents exhibited low stable lying trajectories, with about 84% lying infrequently throughout their development.
  • Poor parental monitoring and inconsistent discipline were significant predictors for adolescents lying more frequently, affecting 13.6% of the sample.
  • Growth mixture modeling was used to analyze lying patterns based on reports from parents regarding the adolescents' behavior and family context.
  • These findings highlight the complex influences of family dynamics on adolescent behavior, suggesting targeted interventions may be beneficial.
