Dataset of parenting practices, self-control and anti-social behaviors: Meta-analytic structural equation modeling.

ABSTRACT: This dataset is used to clarify the nexus between effective parenting practices, low self-control, and anti-social behaviors in Gottfredson and Hirschi's General Theory of Crime (GTC). The analysis included 72 articles reporting 255 effect sizes (N = 94,604). We used the method of Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling (MASEM) to test the assumptions of GTC. In this regard, we employed Two-Stage Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling (TSSEM) and One Stage Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling (OSMASEM) to perform MASEM and its moderators. The findings of the MASEM revealed that low self-control is a positive and in magnitude modest determinant of anti-social behaviors. The effective parenting practice is negative, of small size, and also a statistically significant determinant
