Among AA participants, parental EXT PGS was not associated with their own externalizing behavior. Parental EXT PGS was associated with lower parent-child closeness, but it was not associated with other aspects of parenting. The effect of parental EXT PGS on parent-child closeness remained significant after controlling for adolescent EXT PGS. Adolescent EXT PGS was not associated with any aspects of parenting examined.
