Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, this study evaluated a “socialization” model linking girls’ peer crowd affiliations
(e.g., Jocks, Populars) with their own weight concern, perceived peer weight norms, and weight control behaviors. An alternative
“selection” model was also evaluated. Girls (N = 236; M age = 15.95 years) from diverse ethnic backgrounds completed surveys assessing peer crowd affiliation, their own concern
with weight, perceptions of peers’ concern with weight, and weight control behaviors. Models were evaluated using SEM. The
socialization model demonstrated good fit; the alternative selection model did not. Specifically, girls’ level of identification
with certain peer crowds (Jocks, Burnouts, Alternatives) was associated with girls’ reported own concern and perceived peer
concern with weight. Additionally, girls’ own concern and peer norms were related independently to girls’ weight control behaviors.
Findings suggest that peer crowds and girls’ own and peer weight norms may be important targets of prevention efforts.

This study of early adolescents from the general population examined the direction of effects adolescents’ depressive symptoms,
aggression, and perceived parental rejection have on one another in a longitudinal study. Over a four-year period, data were
collected yearly from 940 early adolescents (50.6% boys and 49.4% girls) who completed self-report questionnaires of depressive
symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and perceived parental rejection. The longitudinal relationships of adolescent reported depressive
symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection were tested in multi-group structural equation models. The findings
of this study demonstrate that adolescents’ depressive symptoms, aggression, and perceived parental rejection can be viewed
as two unidirectional effects models that work in tandem: adolescents’ depressive symptoms longitudinally predicting perceived
parental rejection and, in turn, perceived parental rejection longitudinally predicting adolescents’ aggression. Additionally,
the strength of these effects diminished as the adolescents grew older and the effects were similar for both adolescent boys
and girls.

Experiences with racism are a common occurrence for African American youth and may result in negative self perceptions relevant
for the experience of depressive symptoms. This study examined the longitudinal association between perceptions of racism
and depressive symptoms, and whether perceived academic or social control mediated this association, in a community epidemiologically-defined
sample of urban African American adolescents (N = 500; 46.4% female). Structural equation modeling revealed that experiences with racism were associated with low perceived
academic control, which in turn was associated with increased depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that experiences with
racism can have long lasting effects for African American youth’s depressive symptoms, and highlight the detrimental effects
of experiences with racism for perceptions of control in the academic domain. Implications for intervention are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to add to the understanding of the effects of perceived parental engagement on adolescents’
academic achievement in immigrant families. Self-report data were collected from 1,245 adolescents in immigrant families from
four high schools in Los Angeles County. The sample characteristics follow: 13–16 years old (M = 14.5); 58.9% female, 41.1% male; 57.5% Latino; 40.6% 1st generation youth (i.e., foreign born), 59.4% 2nd generation youth.
After controlling for parental educational attainment, parental engagement variables were indirectly related to grades through
youths’ academic engagement. Multigroup SEM indicated some differences between genders, generational statuses, and ethnicities
(Latinos versus others). Adolescents’ perceptions of monitoring by mothers and fathers were indirectly related to grades through
academic engagement. Perceived educational advice by mothers was indirectly related to grades through academic engagement
for non-Latinos, boys, and 2nd generation youth. Perceived mothers’ schoolwork help was positively related to adolescents’
academic engagement in all the models (except 2nd generation youth), yet fathers’ schoolwork help was significant only for
girls and 2nd generation youth.

Studies document that parents serve as children’s primary socialization agents, particularly for moral development and prosocial
behavior; however, less is known regarding parental influences on prosocial outcomes during the transition to adulthood. The
purpose of this study was to investigate how mother–child relationship quality was related to prosocial tendencies via emerging
adults’ regulation of prosocial values. Participants included 228 undergraduate students (ranging from 18 to 25 years; 90%
European American) and their mothers (ranging from 38 to 59 years) from four locations across the United States. Path analyses
using structural equation modeling revealed that mother–child relationship quality was related to emerging adults’ regulation
of prosocial values, which was, in turn, related to emerging adults’ prosocial tendencies. Specifically, emerging adults who
reported higher levels of internal regulation of prosocial values were more likely to report prosocial tendencies that de-emphasized
themselves, and were less likely to report prosocial tendencies for the approval of others.

This study examined the associations between adolescents’ daily Internet use and low well-being (i.e., loneliness, low self-esteem,
and depressive moods). We hypothesized that (a) linkages between high levels of daily Internet use and low well-being would
be mediated by compulsive Internet use (CIU), and (b) that adolescents with low levels of agreeableness and emotional stability,
and high levels of introversion would be more likely to develop CIU and lower well-being. Data were used from a sample of
7888 Dutch adolescents (11–21 years). Results from structural equation modeling analyses showed that daily Internet use was
indirectly related to low well-being through CIU. In addition, daily Internet use was found to be more strongly related to
CIU in introverted, low-agreeable, and emotionally less-stable adolescents. In turn, again, CIU was more strongly linked to
loneliness in introverted, emotionally less-stable, and less agreeable adolescents.

This study investigated a multi-mediation model of the relationship between bullying behavior, peer victimization, personal
identity, and family characteristics to adolescent depressive symptoms in 194 high school students, 12–18 years of age. In
the first model, peer victimization mediated the relation between bullying behavior and depressive symptoms. In the second
model, personal identity mediated the relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms. In the final model, the
two mediation models were combined. The relative influence of family characteristics on all variables in the two mediation
models was studied using structural equation modeling. The results supported both mediation models and confirmed the influence
of family characteristics on all variables in the mediation models. This study indicates that victimization by one’s peers
has consequences for adolescents’ psychological health when their personal identity is affected. In addition, the study was
able to model several processes in which family characteristics were related to adolescent depressive symptoms. Moreover,
the final combined model (in which the two mediation models and the influence of family characteristics on all variables were
confirmed) explained half of the variance in adolescent depressive symptoms.

A daily diary method was used to examine the daily dynamics of adolescent conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction
with mothers, fathers, and best friends among a sample of 72 Dutch adolescents (M = 15.59 years). Multilevel analyses revealed that perceived relationship satisfaction with mothers, fathers, and best friends
was lower on days on which conflict occurred with mothers, fathers, and best friends than on days on which no conflict occurred.
More specifically, perceived relationship satisfaction was highest in a particular relationship on days when no conflict occurred,
second highest on days on which constructive conflict occurred, and lowest on days on which unconstructive conflict occurred.
Whereas in adolescents’ relationships with their parents, conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction were not found
to be related to each other one day later, conflict with their best friends—and especially unconstructive conflict—was found
to be related to higher perceived relationship satisfaction one day later.

The persistence of adolescents’ political attitudes and behaviors into adulthood is a perennial concern in research on developmental
psychology. While some authors claim that adolescents’ attitudinal patterns will remain relatively stable throughout the life
cycle, others argue that the answers of adolescents in political surveys have but a limited predictive value for their future
attitudes and behaviors. In this article, we tackle this question on an aggregate level, by comparing survey data for 14,
18 and 18 to 30 year old respondents from eight European countries (n = resp. 22,620; 20,142 and 2800). We examine political trust, attitudes toward immigrants’ rights and voting behavior. The
analysis suggests that country patterns with regard to political trust and attitudes toward immigrant rights are already well
established by the age of 14. We find less indications for stability in the relation between intention to vote (for 14 and
18 years olds) and actual voting behavior (for young adults). The latent structure of the political trust scale was found
to be equivalent for the three age groups we investigated. We close by offering some suggestions on why attitudinal stability
seems stronger than behavioral stability.

Previous research has explored how differential youth outcomes are associated with racial socialization and parenting style
individually, but very little work has examined whether democratic-involved parenting style bolsters the positive link between
racial messages and adolescent outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine mothers’ use of democratic-involved parenting
as a moderator of the association between racial socialization (e.g., racial pride, racial barrier, and self-worth messages)
and youth engagement. The types of engagement explored were attitudes toward class work and persistence on task. Ninety-four
African American youth (ages 11–14) reported on maternal style and socialization. As predicted, racial barrier socialization
was positively associated with engagement among adolescents who perceived their mothers to provide more involvement coupled
with opportunities for their teens to make decisions. In contrast, barrier socialization and engagement were negatively associated
among adolescents who viewed their mothers as low in democratic-involved parenting. Implications for adolescent engagement
and for research on racial socialization and democratic-involved parenting style are discussed.

This paper addresses contradictions between common perceptions of Asian Americans as a “model minority” and growing evidence
of discrimination and its negative psychological implications for this group. The current study examined Chinese American
early adolescents’ distress from experiences of discrimination, its relationship with mental health and social functioning,
and what factors may support their healthy development in the face of discrimination. The sample consisted of 158, 6th–8th
grade, Chinese American youth. Study findings provided evidence for a relationship between distress from discrimination and
social emotional health variables of depression and cooperation (a social competence construct). Results also revealed that
peer support buffered the negative effects of discrimination on cooperation. These findings highlight the interpersonal context
of discrimination among early adolescents, and the importance of developmentally and culturally appropriate supports.

Prior research demonstrates negative consequences of racism, however, little is known about community, parenting, and intrapersonal
mechanisms that protect youth. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study illuminated linkages between positive and negative
contextual influences on rural African American adolescent outcomes. Quantitative results provide support for Structural Ecosystems
Theory, in that the influence of discrimination and collective socialization on adolescent outcomes was mediated by racial
socialization and positive parenting. Parenting and community influences contributed to adolescent racial identity and self
image, which protected against common negative responses to racism; including academic underachievement, succumbing to peer
pressure, and aggressive tendencies. Qualitative results indicate that current measures of discrimination may underestimate
adolescents’ experiences. Adolescents reported racist experiences in the domains of school, peers, and with the police (males
only). Moreover, qualitative findings echoed and expanded quantitative results with respect to the importance of the protective
nature of parents and communities.

The present study analyzed the long-term effects of perceived friend use and perceived peer use on adolescents’ own cigarette,
alcohol and marijuana use as a series of parallel growth curves that were estimated in two developmental pieces, representing
middle and high school (N = 1,040). Data were drawn from a large drug abuse prevention trial, the Midwestern Prevention Project (MPP). Results showed
that both perceived peer and friend cigarette use predicted own cigarette use within and across the adolescent years. For
own alcohol and marijuana use, peer and friend influences were limited primarily to middle school. The findings suggest that
strategies for counteracting peer and friend influences should receive early emphasis in prevention programs that are targeted
to middle school. The findings also raise the question of whether cigarette use may represent a symbol of peer group identity
that is unlike other drug use, and once formed, may have lasting adverse effects through the adolescent years.

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 association between sexual debut timing and depressive symptomatology in adolescence and emerging adulthood was examined
using data from Waves I, II and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Respondents who reported never
having sexual intercourse at Wave I and were 18–22 years of age at Wave III were included (n = 5,061). Twenty percent of respondents experienced early (<age 16) and 49% experienced typical (ages 16–18) sexual debut.
In bivariate analyses, pre-debut depressive symptoms were associated with earlier sexual debut among female but not male adolescents.
In models adjusting for demographic characteristics and pre-debut depressive symptoms, sexual debut was positively related
to adolescent (Wave II) depressive symptomatology, but only among female adolescents age less than sixteen. However, sexual
debut timing was unassociated with emerging adult (Wave III) depressive symptomatology for both male and female respondents.
Findings suggest sexual debut timing does not have implications for depressive symptomatology beyond adolescence.

The role of prejudice and ethnic awareness in the civic commitments and beliefs about the American social contract of 1,096
(53% female) adolescents (11–18 year olds, Mean = 15) from African-, Arab-, Latino-, and European-American backgrounds were
compared. Ethnic awareness was higher among minority youth and discrimination more often reported by African- and Arab-Americans.
Parental admonitions against discrimination were heard by all but African Americans, Latinos and those who reported prejudice
heard that it could pose a barrier. Adolescents’ beliefs that America is an equal opportunity society were negatively associated
with experiences of discrimination and African-Americans were least likely to believe that the government was responsive to
the average person. With respect to civic goals, all youth endorsed patriotism but ethnic minorities and ethnically aware
youth were more committed to advocating for their ethnic group and European-Americans were less committed than were African
Americans to improving race relations.

The present study examined contextual influences on the relationship between racial discrimination (individual, cultural,
and collective/institutional) and psychological well-being. Two hundred and fifty two African American adolescents (46% male
and 54% female, average age = 16) completed measures of racial discrimination, self-esteem, depressive symptoms and life satisfaction.
Archival information regarding the racial/ethnic composition of the participants’ neighborhoods and schools was used and increased
school diversity was linked to increased perceptions of cultural discrimination. Regardless of school and neighborhood diversity,
high perceptions of collective/institutional discrimination were linked to lower self-esteem for students in high diversity
settings. Further, high levels of collective/institutional discrimination were associated with lower life satisfaction for
African American youth in low diversity settings.

The purpose of this study was to gain a clearer understanding of the relation between parents’ knowledge of their emerging-adult
children and emerging adults’ risk behaviors. Participants included 200 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and
25 (121 women, 78 men; M
age = 19.59, SD = 1.62) and both of their parents. Results revealed that knowledge of the emerging-adult child’s activities varied as a function
of parent- and child-reports, and that child outcomes associated with parental knowledge were generally positive, including
less drinking, drug use, and risky sexual behavior (although this varied as a function of reporter). The links between maternal
knowledge and lower drug and alcohol use were particularly strong in the presence of maternal closeness. Implications for
understanding the parent–child relationship during the transition to adulthood were discussed.

A Closer Look at Peer Discrimination,Ethnic Identity,and Psychological Well-being Among Urban Chinese American Sixth Graders 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Recent research suggests that although ethnic discrimination may have negative consequences for psychological well-being among
youth of Chinese descent as it does for other ethnic groups, ethnic identity beliefs may buffer against such effects. Data
for this study were drawn from the Early Adolescent Cohort Study, an investigation of contextual influences on the social,
emotional, and academic adjustment of youth in ethnically diverse New York City middle schools. The present study sample consists
of Chinese American (n = 84) and African American (n = 119) sixth graders. Results suggest that Chinese American youths’ own positive affect toward their ethnic group (private
regard) was positively associated with higher self-esteem. In addition, the more favorably Chinese American youth perceived
that others view their group (public regard), the fewer depressive symptoms they reported. In addition, among Chinese American
youth, more favorable public regard attenuated the negative relationship between peer ethnic discrimination and depressive
symptoms. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of the commonalities among ethnic and racial minority
groups’ experiences of discrimination as well as the unique challenges that Chinese American youth face.

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.
