Answer to Question 1

 Gottfredson and Hirschi trace the root cause of poor self-control to inadequate childrearing practices that begin soon after birth and can influence neural development.
 Parents who refuse or are unable to monitor a child's behavior, to recognize deviant behavior when it occurs, and to punish that behavior will produce children who lack self-control.
 Children who are not attached to their parents, who are poorly supervised, and whose parents are delinquent or deviant themselves are the most likely to develop poor self-control.
 The poor parenting produces low self-control children model may be intergenerational: parents who themselves manifest low self-control are the ones most likely to use damaging and inappropriate supervision and punishment mechanisms, such as corporal punishment; inappropriate discipline modes have been linked to lack of self-control in adolescence.
 These impulsive children grow up to become poor parents, who use improper discipline, and produce another generation of impulsive children.
 Some recent research efforts do show that the impulsive personality may have a physical or social root, or perhaps both.
 Student views will vary.
