N2  - Conducted 2 prospective, longitudinal studies in which girls' childhood patterns of aggressive and/or withdrawn behavior were used to predict gynecological problems suggesting problematic sexual activity, adolescent pregnancy, parenting, and home environment. Study 1 examined the medical records of 853 women, originally identified in 1977-1978 when they were in Grade 1, 4, or 7 (as part of a longitudinal study), as highly aggressive, withdrawn, aggressive and withdrawn, or nondeviant. Study 2 examined the home environment and parenting behavior of 38 women from the original sample who became mothers during their teens or early twenties. <br><br>RESULTS confirm that girls' atypical social behavior predicts early reproduction and parenting difficulties, passing the risk for psychosocial problems on to another generation.
