In this study we examined the effects of risk factors (perceived neighborhood crime/delinquency problems, neighborhood incivilities)
and protective factors (teacher support, family support, peer support) on the school engagement of 123 urban adolescents of
color. Age and gender were also examined to determine if different ages (younger or older) or genders (male or female) significantly
modified the relationship between the risk factors and school engagement. Results indicated that perceived neighborhood incivilities
was uniquely predictive of school engagement. Contrary to hypotheses, different levels of the perceived social support variables
did not modify the effects of risky neighborhood conditions on adolescent’s perceived school engagement. Age, but not gender,
significantly modified the relationship between perceived family social support and perceived neighborhood crime on adolescents’
reported levels of school engagement. The implications of the results for prevention and intervention programs that address
school engagement among early adolescents of color are considered.

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 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.

Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), this cross-sectional study examined mediated and moderated associations between
different types of discretionary time activities and depressive symptoms and delinquency among a sample of 246 (107 boys,
139 girls) fifth through eighth grade urban African American adolescents. More time spent in passive unstructured activities
was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms only for adolescents residing in less dangerous neighborhoods, whereas
more time spent in active unstructured activities was associated with higher levels of delinquency only if adolescents resided
in more dangerous neighborhoods. Alienation was positively associated with depressive symptoms and delinquency, but neither
alienation nor positive affect mediated the relationship between activities and adjustment. These findings suggest the importance
of considering neighborhood environment issues when determining what types of discretionary time activities are most beneficial
for urban African American young adolescents.

Associations among neighborhood disadvantage, maternal acculturation, parenting and conduct problems were investigated in
a sample of 444 Chinese American adolescents. Adolescents (54% female, 46% male) ranged from 12 to 15 years of age (mean age = 13.0 years).
Multilevel modeling was employed to test the hypothesis that the association between maternal acculturation and adolescents’
conduct problems could be explained by differences in mothers’ reliance on monitoring and harsh discipline. In addition, guided
by segmented assimilation theory, measures of neighborhood disadvantage were expected not only to be related to differences
in parenting, but also to moderate the effects of maternal acculturation on parenting. Results indicated that increased maternal
acculturation was related to higher levels of maternal monitoring and lower levels of harsh discipline, which, in turn, were
related to lower levels of adolescents’ conduct problems. Hierarchical linear modeling results revealed that neighborhood
disadvantage was related to lower levels of maternal monitoring. However, neighborhood disadvantage did not moderate the link
between maternal acculturation and parenting practices.

This study examined adolescent peer-on-peer sexual assault victimization occurring within and outside school. The sample consisted
of 1,086 7th through 12th grade students, with a mean age of 15. Most of the respondents were White (54%) or Black (45%),
and approximately half of respondents were female (54%). A modified version of the Sexual Experiences Survey was used to assess
opposite sex sexual victimization in 7th through 12th grade students. Rates of peer sexual assault were high, ranging from
26% of high school boys to 51% of high school girls. School was the most common location of peer sexual victimization. Characteristics
of assault varied by location, including type of victimization, victims’ grade level, relationship to the perpetrator, type
of coercion, and how upsetting the assault was. Distinctions between sexual assault occurring in and out of school are conceptualized
with literature on developmental changes in heterosexual relationships and aggression.

Consistent with the view that adolescent relationships are established in the context of important characteristics of their
social networks, we examined the effects of adolescents’ experiences of parenting (psychological control and positive monitoring)
and of peer aggression and victimization, on their self reports of dating victimization and aggression. We also examined the
effects of individual differences in emotional and behavioral problems. We used questionnaire data from a population-based
sample of youth 12–18 years old who were in dating relationships (n = 149). Parental monitoring emerged as a protective factor in reducing both dating victimization and relational aggression.
Our findings also point to a significant transfer of aggression in peer relationships to relational aggression in dating relationships.

This study used a 2-month prospective research design to examine the bi-directional interplay between peer victimization and
social anxiety among adolescents. Participants included 228 adolescents (58% female) in grades 10–12. Three types of peer
victimization were examined: overt (physical aggression or verbal threats), relational (malicious manipulation of a relationship, such as by friendship withdrawal), and reputational (damaging another’s peer relationships, such as through rumor spreading). Adolescents’ self-reported feelings of social anxiety
and peer victimization experiences were assessed at two time points, in November and January of the same school year. Peer
victimization was strongly related to adolescents’ social anxiety, and relational victimization explained additional unique
variance. Moreover, peer victimization was both a predictor and consequence of social anxiety over time, with the most robust
results found for relational victimization. Limited support was obtained for gender as a moderating variable. Findings highlight
the deleterious effects of peer victimization, especially relational victimization, and suggest avenues for future research
and clinical intervention for adolescents experiencing such victimization.

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.

This study examines prostitution, homelessness, delinquency and crime, and school problems as potential mediators of the relationship
between childhood abuse and neglect (CAN) and illicit drug use in middle adulthood. Children with documented cases of physical
and sexual abuse and neglect (ages 0–11) during 1967–1971 were matched with non-maltreated children and followed into middle
adulthood (approximate age 39). Mediators were assessed in young adulthood (approximate age 29) through in-person interviews
between 1989 and 1995 and official arrest records through 1994 (N = 1,196). Drug use was assessed via self-reports of past year use of marijuana, psychedelics, cocaine, and/or heroin during
2000–2002 (N = 896). Latent variable structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test: (1) a four-factor model with separate pathways
from CAN to illicit drug use through each of the mediating risk factors and (2) a second-order model with a single mediating
risk factor comprised of prostitution, homelessness, delinquency and crime, and poor school performance. Analyses were performed
separately for women and men, controlling for race/ethnicity and early drug use. In the four-factor model for both men and
women, CAN was significantly related to each of the mediators, but no paths from the mediators to drug use were significant.
For women, the second-order risk factor mediated the relationship between CAN and illicit drug use in middle adulthood. For
men, neither child abuse and neglect nor the second-order risk factor predicted drug use in middle adulthood. These results
suggest that for women, the path from CAN to middle adulthood drug use is part of a general “problem behavior syndrome” evident
earlier in life.

In this study, we analyzed the relationships among overt and relational victimization and adolescents’ satisfaction with friends.
We also tested the influence of the need for affective relationships with friends. A total of 409 Italian adolescent boys
and girls (age range = 14–16, M = 15.02 years, SD = 2.58) completed a self-report measure of overt and relational victimization, a measure of satisfaction
with friends, and a scale to assess the individual need for affective relationships. A negative association between both forms
of victimization and levels of satisfaction with friends was found. As hypothesized, the need for affective relationships
with friends moderated the relation between relational, but not overt, victimization and satisfaction with friends: Adolescents
who reported more need for affective relationships reported the lowest levels of satisfaction when relationally victimized.

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.

Exposure to violence is a serious public health concern that compromises adolescents by affecting their behavior and psychological
well-being. The current study advances knowledge about the consequences of exposure to violence in adolescence by applying
a life course perspective to evaluate the developmental implications of adolescents’ exposure to violence. In particular,
drawing on a sample of 11,949 school-aged adolescents in the U.S., we examine whether exposure to violence in adolescence
is associated with precocious role exits that some adolescents experience. Exposure to violence is conceptualized as including
both direct (i.e., experiencing physical victimization) and indirect exposure (i.e., witnessing others’ victimization). Three
types of direct exposure to violence are examined: street, intimate partner, and family victimization, as well as four types
of indirect exposure including: street, peer, and school violence as well as exposure to family/friend suicide. Using three
waves of longitudinal data from the Add Health Study, we find that exposure to violence is associated with greater risks of
running away from home, dropping out of high school, having a child, attempting suicide, and coming into contact with the
criminal justice system in later adolescence. In addition, risks depend upon the relational context in which the exposure
to violence occurred, risks increase with greater exposure to violence, and risks are, for the most part, highest for those
youth exposed to both indirect and direct violence in adolescence.

The broader context of relational aggression in adolescent romantic relationships was assessed by considering the ways such
aggression emerged from prior experiences of peer pressure and was linked to concurrent difficulties in psychosocial functioning.
Longitudinal, multi-reporter data were obtained from 97 adolescents and their best friends at age 15 and from adolescents
and their romantic partners at age 18. Teens’ relational aggression and romantic partners’ victimization were predicted from
levels of best friends’ pressuring behaviors toward teens in an observed interaction as well as from best friends’ ratings
of how much pressure teens experienced from their peer group. Romantic partner relational aggression and teen victimization
were predicted by pressure from teens’ peer group only. Adolescents’ romantic relational aggression and victimization were
also associated with elevated levels of depressive symptoms and increased alcohol use. Results are discussed in terms of the
connection of relational aggression in romantic relationships to the broader task of establishing autonomy with peers in psychosocial
development.

Self-Rated Pubertal Development,Depressive Symptoms and Delinquency: Measurement Issues and Moderation by Gender and Maltreatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sonya Negriff Michelle T. Fung Penelope K. Trickett 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(6):736-746
This cross-sectional study examined relationships between pubertal development, depressive symptoms and delinquency in a sample
of 241 males and 213 females aged 9–13 years. Four objectives were set forth for this study: (1) to examine relationships
between pubertal stage or timing and depressive symptoms and delinquency; (2) to compare continuous and categorical measures
of pubertal timing; (3) to examine gender as a moderator of these relationships, and (4) to examine maltreatment as a moderator
of these relationships. Results indicated that mature pubertal stage and early (continuous) pubertal timing were both related
to higher delinquency whereas only early pubertal timing was related to depressive symptoms. Categorical timing was not related
to depressive symptoms or delinquency. Neither gender nor maltreatment were found to be moderators. These findings provide
evidence against equating pubertal stage, continuous timing, and categorical timing, and highlight the need to identify possible
moderators in research on pubertal development.

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.

Adolescents spend only a fraction of their waking hours in school and what they do with the rest of their time varies dramatically.
Despite this, research on out-of-school time has largely focused on structured programming. The authors analyzed data from
the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) to examine the out-of-school time activity portfolios of 6,338 high
school sophomores, accounting for time spent in school clubs and sports as well as 17 other activities. The analytical sample
was balanced with respect to sex and racially and ethnically diverse: 49% female, 67% White, 10% Latino, 10% African American,
and 6% Asian and Pacific Islander. Approximately 76% of the sample attended public schools, 30% were in the highest socioeconomic
quartile, and 20% were in the lowest socioeconomic quartile. The authors identified five distinct out-of-school time activity
portfolios based on a cluster analysis. The demographic profiles of students by portfolio type differed significantly with
respect to sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, school type and location. Students by portfolio type also differed significantly
in terms of measures of academic success, school behavior, victimization and perceptions of school climate, controlling for
covariates. These findings underscore the importance of more complex considerations of adolescents’ out-of-school time.

We investigated whether role models (individuals adolescents look up to) contributed to the resilience of adolescents who
were exposed to negative nonparental adult influences. Our sample included 659 African American, ninth-grade adolescents.
We found that adolescents’ exposure to negative adult behavior was associated with increased externalizing, internalizing,
and substance using behaviors, as well as more negative school attitudes and behavior. We found that role models had protective
effects on externalizing and internalizing behaviors and compensatory effects on school outcomes. Collectively, our findings
indicate that role models can contribute to the resilience of African American adolescents who are exposed to negative nonparental
adult behavior.

The objectives of this study were to test the predictive power of self-control theory for delinquency in a Chinese context,
and to explore if social factors as predicted in social bonding theory, differential association theory, general strain theory,
and labeling theory have effects on delinquency in the presence of self-control. Self-report data were collected from 1,015
Chinese secondary school students (463 boys and 552 girls) in Hong Kong aged between 14 and 19. Bivariate results showed that
low self-control is correlated with delinquency in the Chinese setting. We also found that low self-control is linked to a
range of negative social conditions in Chinese adolescents, including disrupted social bonds, delinquent association, deviant
definition, educational under-achievement, coercive parenting, negative school experiences, negative relations with peers,
stressful life events, and labeling by parents and teachers. However, contrary to self-control theory and many previous studies
based on Western samples, self-control fails to predict delinquency when social variables are controlled for among Chinese
adolescents. The effects of social factors on delinquency remain significant net of self-control. This suggests that it is
the combination of self-control and social factors in the prediction of delinquency that might be variant across cultures.
These findings from adolescents from Hong Kong only partially support the culture-free thesis of self-control theory. The
implications of Chinese cultural forces on the influence of self-control merit closer attention.

Self-determination theory emphasizes the importance of school-based autonomy and belongingness to academic achievement and psychological adjustment,
and the theory posits a model in which engagement in school mediates the influence of autonomy and belongingness on these
outcomes. To date, this model has only been evaluated on academic outcomes. Utilizing short-term longitudinal data (5-month
timeframe) from a set of secondary schools in the rural Midwest (N = 283, M age = 15.3, 51.9% male, 86.2% White), we extend the model to include a measure of positive adjustment (i.e., hope). We also
find a direct link between peer-related belongingness (i.e., peer support) and positive adjustment that is not mediated by
engagement in school. A reciprocal relationship between academic autonomy, teacher-related belongingness (i.e., teacher support)
and engagement in learning is supported, but this reciprocal relationship does not extend to peer-related belongingness. The
implications of these findings for secondary schools are discussed.
