Changes in the family structure can be very disruptive to adolescents who live in those families. This article examines the
impact of the number of family transitions on delinquent and drug-using behavior. Specifically, the effect of family transitions
is hypothesized to be mediated by problems within the family, school, and peer settings. A sample of 646 boys (73%) and girls
(27%) taken from a longitudinal panel study of high-risk adolescents are used to examine these hypotheses. For girls, little
support is found for the direct or the indirect effect of family transitions on delinquent behavior or drug use. For boys,
however, both forms of problem behavior are influenced by family transitions directly and indirectly through changes in, and
problems with, peer associations. The findings suggest that during times of family turmoil, the friendship network of adolescent
male children is also disrupted, leading to an increase in associations with delinquent others and, in turn, an increase in
problematic behaviors.

The current study examined the impact of racial discrimination stress on internalizing symptoms and coping strategies in a
sample of 268 African American early adolescents (mean age = 12.90; 56% female) from low-income communities. Information about
discrimination stress, coping, and internalizing symptoms was obtained via adolescents’ self-report. It was predicted that
discrimination stress would be positively associated with depression and anxiety, as well as culturally-specific coping. Finally,
culturally-relevant coping and mainstream coping were examined as moderators of the association between discrimination stress
and internalizing symptoms. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that discrimination stress was positively associated
with depression and anxiety and predicted culturally-relevant coping while controlling for mainstream coping. Communalistic
coping moderated the association between discrimination and anxiety, but demonstrated a vulnerability function by increasing
anxiety at high levels of discrimination. The results highlight the salience of racial discrimination for African American
adolescents and the importance of considering culturally-specific coping behaviors.

The purpose of the present study was to examine how peer group processes of pressure and control and individual motivations
for popularity would add to, and moderate the relationship between, childhood maltreatment and risky behavior in adolescence.
A total of 1558 youth (804 girls) from three high schools in Ontario, Canada (M age = 15.02 years, SD = .86) reported on their alcohol use, delinquent behavior, childhood experiences of physical and emotional
maltreatment and neglect, peer group processes involving control and individual popularity motivations. Regression analyses
showed that, beyond the significant contributions of childhood maltreatment, peer group control predicted risky alcohol use
and delinquent behavior. Peer group control and popularity motivations exacerbated the negative effect of physical maltreatment
on delinquent behavior. Boys’ experiences of peer group control were more strongly linked to alcohol use and delinquent behavior
than girls’. These results suggest that there is a significant window of opportunity during adolescence where the peer group
context can exacerbate or buffer childhood experiences.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the direct and indirect effects (through peer contacts) of parental knowledge
on adolescents’ delinquent and aggressive problem behavior, using latent growth curve modeling. A sample of 457 13- to 14-year
old adolescents at first measurement wave (M=13.27; SD=0.45 years) filled out questionnaires about their parents, peers, and problem behavior three times with 1-year
intervals in between. Regarding initial levels of behavior, both direct and indirect effects of parental knowledge were found
on aggressive as well as on delinquent behavior. When the rate of change in behaviors was considered, only direct effects
were found for both types of problem behavior, whereas indirect effects were absent. Gender differences were also found, with
stronger effects of parenting on both aggressive and delinquent problem behavior for boys and stronger effects of peer contacts
on aggressive behavior for girls. The present study shows that different behaviors of the externalizing spectrum have different
trajectories and diverse relations with parenting and should not be treated as identical.

Although the number of girls served by the juvenile justice system has grown dramatically, little is known about the adult
offending patterns of delinquent girls and the factors associated with their persistence and desistance from adult crime.
To address this gap, we prospectively track 499 girls (62% Black, 16% Hispanic) discharged from juvenile justice facilities
in the early 1990s and document their adult arrests, convictions, and incarcerations between the ages of 16–28. Trajectory
analysis reveals four distinct early adult offending paths: Rare/Non-Offending (RN), Low Chronic (LC), Low-Rising (LR), and
High Chronic (HC). Girls assigned to the LR and LC path are responsible for a disproportionate amount of adult arrests and
are more likely than girls on the RN and LC path to come from homes characterized by high levels of family dysfunction and
child maltreatment. Adoption of a therapeutic, trauma-sensitive and family-centered approach to female delinquency programming
is recommended.

The current study longitudinally examines the effects of child maltreatment, parenting, and disadvantaged neighborhood on
victimization, delinquency, and well-being via running away and school engagement among a sample of 360 high-risk adolescents.
Results of a path analysis revealed that parenting was associated with school engagement, running away, and well-being. Childhood
neglect was related to victimization while sexual abuse and living in a more disadvantaged neighborhood were associated with
poorer well-being. Greater school engagement was associated with higher levels of well-being and a lower likelihood of delinquency.
Finally, running away was positively associated with participating in delinquent activities. In terms of the interactions,
results showed that the effect of positive parenting on well-being was significantly stronger for females and the manner in
which neglect related to school engagement was greater among males. Additionally, gender significantly moderated the relationship
between running away and victimization and between running away and delinquency, both of which the effects were significantly
stronger for males. Implications for families and adolescents are addressed.

This meta-analysis examines the relationship between active coping and psychosocial health among youth. Results from 40 studies
of coping with interpersonal stress were synthesized using a random-effects model. Four areas of psychosocial functioning
were examined: externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, social competence, and academic performance. The magnitude
of the relationship between active coping and psychosocial functioning was small, with correlations ranging from 0.02 for
internalizing behavior to 0.12 for academic performance. Mean effects were moderated by stressor controllability: youth who
used active coping in response to controllable stressors had fewer externalizing problems and higher social competence, as
compared to those who used active coping in response to uncontrollable stressors. Implications for primary prevention programs
and directions for future research on child and adolescent coping are discussed.

In this article we investigate the extent to which the relationship between extracurricular activities and youth development
depends on situational contexts. Using a national sample including 13,466 youths in grades 7–12 across 120 schools, we conduct
school-level analyses of the association between extracurricular activities, delinquency, and depression. Three main findings
are reported. First, we observe near-normal distributions across schools in the proportions of delinquent or depressed youths
involved in extracurricular activities, illustrating that extracurricular activities can be positive, neutral, or negative
settings for youth development. Second, within individual schools we fail to uncover consistent associations in the propensity
of delinquent or depressed youth to be involved with different types of extracurricular activities. Third, standard macro-level
context variables do not explain the observed variations within or between schools. The results suggest that the relationships
between extracurricular activities, delinquent conduct and depressive symptoms among youth ultimately depend more upon micro-level
contextual factors than the type or content of the activities themselves.

Several studies have indicated that an early onset of delinquent and problem behaviors is associated with a greater risk of
subsequent behavioral and mental health problems. This study builds on that literature by examining histories of behavior
problems in relation to indicators of thriving and precocious behavior during late adolescence. Using longitudinal data from
289 high-risk adolescents, participants were classified according to their problem behavior histories at ages 15 and 19. Findings
indicated that although some adolescents experienced decline over time in their overt behavior problems, those youth showed
fewer indicators of thriving when compared to adolescents with no history of behavior problems. Youth with an earlier onset
of behavior problems also evinced an increased risk for precocious behavior. Gender differences and implications for prevention
through youth development programming are discussed.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a school-based universal preventive stress management training program
for early and middle adolescents in comparison with a no-treatment control group. The study examined the intervention effects
of age (early versus middle adolescents) and gender on perceived stress, interpersonal coping, and self-efficacy prior, immediately
after as well as 3 months after the intervention. Three hundred and twenty adolescents (ages 10–14 years) participated in
the study. Whereas both experimental conditions did not differ substantially in baseline scores, the experimental group scored
higher on perceived self-efficacy compared to the control group at the follow-up assessment. Additionally, the experimental
group showed less perceived stress and more adaptive coping at the post and follow-up assessment. Age-dependent intervention
effects suggested that early adolescents primarily benefited from the treatment. Although the effects must be replicated using
a randomized design, the current findings reveal that the program does strengthen important protective factors for the psychosocial
development of adolescents.

This study examined gender differences in cross-gender violence perpetration and victimization (ranging from mild, e.g., push,
to severe, e.g., assault with a knife or gun) and attitudes toward dating conflict, among an urban sample of 601 early adolescents
(78% African-American). Comparisons across gender groups for cross-gender (e.g., female-to-male) violence perpetration and
victimization indicated higher levels of perpetration for girls and higher levels of victimization for boys. Girls also reported
higher levels of verbal and physical violence toward partners with regard to attitudes toward dating conflict. A path model
was specified and indicated that cross-gender violence perpetration, harsh parenting, peer deviance, low family income, and
neighborhood hazards accounted for significant variation in attitudes toward dating conflict. Findings were discussed regarding
the need to identify developmental precursors of dating violence in early adolescence and to focus prevention efforts on components
(e.g., social skills, coping strategies) necessary to prevent the onset and escalation of adolescent dating violence.

Little is known about the impact of the relational context of adolescent sexual activity on depressive symptoms. The present
study examined trajectories of depressive symptoms among 6,602 adolescents (44% male, 60% White) taken from a nationally representative
study (Add Health). Sexually active youth in romantic and casual relationships were first compared to virgins and then to
each other by relational context. Longitudinal, multilevel models examined differences in the course of depressive symptoms
based on sexual activity separately by gender and age group (ages 12–14 and 15–18). Results indicated that when compared to
virgins, any differences in depressive symptoms by relational context of sex were present prior to youth’s sexual debut. The
few significant differences found between youth who had sex in romantic relationships verses those who had casual sex were
present before sexual initiation and not maintained over time, suggesting that casual sex in adolescence is not associated
with long-term risks for depressive symptoms.

This study investigated the relationship between social information processing (SIP) and both relational and overt, physical
aggression in a longitudinally-followed sample of 228 adolescent girls (ages 11–18; 140 with ADHD and 88 comparison girls).
During childhood, girls participated in naturalistic summer camps where peer rejection, overt physical aggression, and relational
aggression were assessed via multiple informants and methods. Approximately 4.5 years later, these girls participated in follow-up
assessments during which they completed a commonly-used vignette procedure to assess SIP; overt and relational aggression
were again assessed through multiple informants. Correlations between (a) overt and relational aggression and (b) maladaptive
SIP were modest in this female adolescent sample. However, relationships between aggression and SIP were stronger for the
comparison girls than for the girls with ADHD. The relevance of SIP models for adolescent girls and clinical implications
of findings are discussed.

The current study extended previous research with adults and boys to girls in the juvenile justice system (N = 122; M = 16.7; SD = 1.3). Using a longitudinal research design, neighborhood disadvantage and exposure to violence (i.e., physical abuse by
parents, physical abuse by peers, and witnessing violence) were assessed during incarceration. These risk factors were used
to predict violent and delinquent behavior post-release. Furthermore, race specific pathways were examined to determine if
the impact of these risk factors varied among Black (n = 69) and White girls (n = 53). Results indicated that Black girls were more likely than White girls to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods, but both
reported similar levels of exposure to violence and self-report of antisocial behavior. Physical abuse by parents, time at
risk, and age were related to violent behavior, while witnessing violence and time at risk were related to delinquent behavior.
Multiple group analyses indicated the existence of race specific pathways. Specifically, physical abuse by parents was related
to violent behavior for White girls while witnessing violence was related to violent and delinquent behaviors for Black girls.
Results suggest that contextual processes play an important role in predicting antisocial behavior for Black girls.

Same-sex Versus Other-sex Best Friendship in Early Adolescence: Longitudinal Predictors of Antisocial Behavior Throughout Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study examines the relationship between having other-sex versus same-sex best friends and antisocial behavior throughout
early adolescence. Participants (N = 955) were recruited in 6th grade and followed longitudinally through 7th, 8th, and 11th grades. Participants were 58% ethnically
diverse youth and 48% girls. Results indicate that the frequency of other-sex best friendship remained stable from 6th to
7th grade but significantly increased from 8th to 11th grade. Higher rates of concurrent antisocial behavior were related
to having other-sex best friends in 6th grade but not in 7th grade. In 8th grade, there was an interaction between friendship
and the sex of friends. Boys with only same-sex best friends and girls with other-sex best friends endorsed higher rates of
antisocial behavior. Having other-sex best friends predicted antisocial behavior from 6th to 7th grade and 8th to 11th grade,
especially for girls. Implications for the development of early adolescent friendship and antisocial behavior are discussed.

This study evaluated effects of the Iowa Strengthening Families Program, a family-focused universal preventive intervention, on growth patterns of adolescent internalizing (anxiety and depressive
symptoms) and monthly polysubstance use (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, and other illicit drugs), as well as the
association between internalizing and polysubstance growth factors. The sample consisted of rural Midwestern adolescents (N = 383), followed from sixth through twelfth grade. Compared to the control group, the intervention group adolescents showed
a slower rate of increase in internalizing symptoms and polysubstance use. Intervention effects on internalizing symptoms
were similar for boys and girls; however, girls demonstrated a higher overall level and a greater rate of increase across
time. The intervention slowed the rate of increase in polysubstance use significantly more for girls than for boys, although
overall levels of use were lower in the intervention group for both genders. Associations between internalizing and polysubstance
use growth factors were found for girls, but not for boys, suggesting gender differences in psychosocial development.

The Skinny on Body Dissatisfaction: A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Girls and Boys 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
The present study tested whether theoretically derived risk factors predicted increases in body dissatisfaction and whether gender moderated these relations with data from a longitudinal study of 428 adolescent girls and boys because few prospective studies have examined these aims, despite evidence that body dissatisfaction increases risk for various psychiatric disturbances. Body dissatisfaction showed significant increases for girls and significant decreases for boys during early adolescence. For both genders, parental support deficits, negative affectivity, and self-reported dietary restraint showed significant relations to future increases in body dissatisfaction. Ideal body internalization and body mass index did not demonstrate significant relations to future increases in body dissatisfaction; peer support deficits showed a marginal relation to this outcome. Gender did not moderate these relations, despite adequate power to detect interactive effects.

The current study empirically examined predictors of level of voice (ethnicity, attachment, and gender role socialization)
in a diverse sample of 108 14-year-old girls. Structural equation modeling results indicated that parental attachment predicted
level of voice with authority figures, and gender role socialization predicted level of voice with authority figures and peers.
Both masculinity and femininity were salient for higher levels of voice with authority figures whereas higher scores on masculinity
contributed to higher levels of voice with peers. These findings suggest that, contrary to previous theoretical work, femininity
itself is not a risk factor for low levels of voice. In addition, African-American girls had higher levels of voice with teachers
and classmates than did Caucasian girls, and girls who were in a school with a greater concentration of ethnic minorities
had higher levels of voice with peers than did girls at a school with fewer minority students.

Doing Well vs. Feeling Well: Understanding Family Dynamics and the Psychological Adjustment of Chinese Immigrant Adolescents 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Desirée Baolian Qin 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(1):22-35
Despite their average high levels of educational achievement, Asian American students often report poor psychological and
social adjustment, suggesting an achievement/adjustment paradox. Yet, the reasons for this paradox remain unclear. Drawing
on 5-year longitudinal qualitative interview data, this paper compares the family dynamics of two groups of adolescents from
Chinese immigrant families: non-distressed adolescents (n = 20) who have high levels of academic achievement and high levels of psychological well-being; and distressed adolescents (n = 18) who have high levels of academic achievement but low levels of psychological well-being. Findings suggest that the
two groups of families differed in parenting approaches after migration, parent–child communication, parental expectations,
and parent–child relations. Implications for Asian American adolescent and youth development are discussed.

The Tangled Web: Delinquency, Deception, and Parental Attachment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mark Warr 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2007,36(5):607-622
Delinquent youth display weaker attachment to their parents than do other youth, but the reasons for this remain unclear.
One explanation is that delinquent youth poison their relations with parents by lying to them about their friends, behavior,
whereabouts, and more. Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health reveals that lying to parents
is an exceptionally strong and robust correlate of delinquent behavior, and is associated with a variety of surreptitious
behaviors – late bedtimes, hanging with friends, concealing whereabouts. Lying to parents appears to have a progressively
negative impact on the parent-child bond, meaning that the well-established attachment/delinquency association is not solely a parent effect. Youth who lie to their parents do not appear to do so blithely, however. Compared to other youth,
they hold themselves in lower regard and are more often depressed. Although parents are often angered by and distrustful of
deceitful children, their children's fabrications may say less about their regard for their parents than about the strength
of other loyalties.
