The goal of the study was to examine whether social motives (social mimicry, mutual attraction, and unreciprocated attraction)
predict changes in antisocial behavior across middle school grades. The 2,003 initial participants (55% girls) were drawn
from a larger longitudinal study of urban public school students: 44% Latino, 26% African-American, 10% Asian, 9% Caucasian,
and 11% multiracial. Analyses of peer nominations and teacher-rated behavior included five waves of data between the fall
of sixth grade and the spring of eighth grade (n = 1,260–1,347 for longitudinal analyses). Supporting the social mimicry hypothesis, students who associated peer-directed
aggression with high social status in the beginning of middle school engaged in elevated levels of antisocial conduct during
the second year in the new school. Additionally, unreciprocated attraction toward peers who bully others in the beginning
of middle school was related to increased antisocial behavior in the last year of middle school. No support was obtained for
the mutual attraction hypothesis. The findings provide insights about possible social motives underlying susceptibility to
negative peer influence.

Sociometric nominations, social cognitive maps, and self-report questionnaires were completed in consecutive years by 327
students (56% girls) followed longitudinally from grade 7 to grade 8 to examine the stability of social standing in peer groups
and correlates of changes in social standing. Social preference, perceived popularity, network centrality, and leadership
were moderately stable from grade 7 to grade 8. Alcohol use and relational aggression in grade 7 predicted changes in social
preference and centrality, respectively, between grade 7 and grade 8, but these effects were moderated by gender and ethnicity.
Changes in social standing from grade 7 to grade 8 were unrelated to grade 8 physical aggression, relational aggression, and
alcohol use after controlling for the grade 7 corollaries of these behaviors. Results are discussed in terms of their implications
for understanding links between social standing and problem behaviors during adolescence.

In a sample of 207 eighth grade students, we examined similarities between students and their friends in achievement motivation
and whether friendship support moderated these associations. Academic self-competence and intrinsic value for math and English
were assessed using both perceptions of friends and actual friend reports collected through friend nominations. For both sources
of information, there was a stronger positive association between students’ and friends’ academic self-competence when friendships
were rated as more supportive. Analyses predicting intrinsic value for math and English provided weaker evidence of an interaction.
Comparisons of the students’ perceptions and their friends’ actual reports suggested that students overestimated the degree
to which their friends had attitudes similar to their own. Students also perceived that their friends valued academics significantly
less than the friends actually reported. Results suggest that both friend and friendship characteristics are important for
understanding student achievement motivation.

In this study, we examined the associations between organized activity participation during early adolescence and adjustment
in a large and economically diverse sample of African American and European American youth. The sample included 1,047 youth
(51% female and 49% male and 67% African American and 33% European American). We used analysis of covariance techniques to
examine links between participation in 8th grade school clubs, school sports teams, and out of school recreational activities
and adjustment at 8th and 11th grade, controlling for a set of self-selection factors measured at 7th grade prior to activity
involvement. Organized activity participation was associated with higher than expected grades, school value (i.e. perception
of importance of school for the future), self-esteem, resiliency, and prosocial peers, and lower than expected risky behavior,
though the pattern of findings differed by activity context, outcome, and time point. In a few of the models, the relation
between activity participation and adjustment varied by gender, race, and socioeconomic status.

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.

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.

Research examining the relationship between internalizing symptoms and antisocial behaviors has generally been cross-sectional
in design. Thus, although extant data have substantiated a strong correlation between internalizing symptoms and antisocial
behaviors, few studies have focused on describing the nature of the co-occurrence over time. This study examined the relation
between growth in internalizing symptoms and longitudinal patterns of antisocial behavior in a sample of 283 inner-city males
and their caregivers assessed as part of a longitudinal developmental risk study. Participants were assessed annually in four
waves. Non-offenders and escalating offenders had lower levels of internalizing problems at wave 1 than did chronic minor
and serious-chronic-violent offenders. Results revealed a developmental trend of decreasing internalizing problems across
study years for most participants, as would be expected, with adolescents participating in serious, chronic, and violent patterns
of antisocial behavior displaying greater internalizing problems than those participating in stable patterns of less serious
or no antisocial behavior. Further, when there was escalation of seriousness and frequency of antisocial behavior, there also
was increased internalizing problems relative to non-escalating juveniles. Results are discussed in the context of developmental
psychopathology.

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.

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.

This study explores the emergence of a criminal career in adulthood. The main hypothesis tested is that late criminal onset
(at age 21 or later) is influenced by early factors that delay antisocial manifestations. The Cambridge Study in Delinquent
Development (CSDD) was used to examine early determinants of criminal behavior. 400 Inner London males were followed from
ages 8–10 to 48–50, and were classified as follows: 35 late onsetters who were first convicted at age 21 or later, and did
not have high self-reported delinquency at ages 10–14 and 15–18; 129 early onsetters first convicted between ages 10 and 20;
and 236 unconvicted males. Odds ratios and logistic regression analyses revealed that the best predictors of late onset offenders
compared with early onset offenders included nervousness, having few friends at ages 8–10, and not having sexual intercourse
by age 18. The best predictors of late onset offenders compared with nonoffenders included teacher-rated anxiousness at ages
12–14 and high neuroticism at age 16. It is concluded that being nervous and withdrawn protected boys against offending in
adolescence but that these protective effects tended to wear off after age 21. These findings show that adult offending can
be predicted from childhood, and suggest that early intervention might prevent a variety of maladjustment problems and difficulties
in adult life.

This study explored factors that may be associated with early initiation of sexual activity among adolescents. Using the cumulative
risk model, we hypothesized that as exposure to risk factors increases, so does the likelihood of early sexual debut. A sample
of 273 (53% girls, 90% European American) adolescents was followed longitudinally from age 13 to 15. The results indicate
that, for girls, increased television viewing, low self-esteem, poor parental relationships, living in a non-intact household,
higher levels of externalizing behavior (ADHD symptomology), low academic achievement, and parents with low education levels
were associated with earlier sexual debut. For boys, advanced pubertal development, increased television viewing, higher rates
of externalizing behaviors (ADHD and ODD symptoms), and poor parental relationships were associated with earlier sexual debut.
As hypothesized, predictive power increases with the accumulation of these risks; girls are 1.56 times more likely to become
sexually active with an increase of only one risk and boys are 1.90 times more likely.

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.

We examine the extent to which parental antisocial behavior is related to child antisocial behavior and, if it is, the extent
to which the effect is mediated by parental stressors and by parenting behaviors. In particular, we examine two sources of
stress–depressive symptoms and exposure to negative life events. The study is based on data from the Rochester Intergenerational
Study, a prospective multi-generation panel study. The parent sample is 73% male and 27% female and predominantly African
American (69%); the child sample consists of each parent’s oldest biological child. We find significant levels of intergenerational
continuity in antisocial behavior for mothers and for fathers who live with or supervise their child, but not for fathers
who have low levels of contact with their child. Results of structural equation models of mediating pathways are similar for
mothers and for supervisory fathers. Of the two stressors we examine, depressive symptoms appears to be the more consistent
mediator. It, both directly and indirectly via its impact on parenting behaviors, influences the child’s early onset of antisocial
behavior. The results imply that childhood antisocial behavior has deep roots, extending back to the parent’s adolescent development.

Growth curve analyses were used to investigate parents’ and peers’ influence on adolescents’ choice to abstain from antisocial
behavior in a community-based sample of 416 early adolescents living in the Southeastern United States. Participants were
primarily European American (91%) and 51% were girls. Both parents and peers were important influences on the choice to abstain
from antisocial behavior. Over the four-year period adolescents relied increasingly on parents as influences and relied less
on peers as influences to deter antisocial behavior. Significant gender differences emerged and suggested that female adolescents
relied more on social influences than did male adolescents but that as time progressed male adolescents increased the rate
at which they relied on peers. Higher family income was associated with choosing peers as a social influence at wave 1, but
no other significant income associations were found. Understanding influences on adolescents’ abstinence choices is important
for preventing antisocial behavior.

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.

This study was designed to describe the conflict resolution practices used in Mexican American adolescents’ friendships, to
explore the role of cultural orientations and values and gender-typed personality qualities in conflict resolution use, and
to assess the connections between conflict resolution and friendship quality. Participants were 246 Mexican American adolescents
(M = 12.77 years of age) and their older siblings (M = 15.70 years of age). Results indicated that adolescents used solution-oriented strategies most frequently, followed by
nonconfrontation and control strategies. Girls were more likely than boys to use solution-oriented strategies and less likely
to use control strategies. Familistic values and gender-typed personality qualities were associated with solution-oriented
conflict resolution strategies. Finally, conflict resolution strategies were related to overall friendship quality: solution-oriented
strategies were positively linked to intimacy and negatively associated with friendship negativity, whereas nonconfrontation
and control strategies were associated with greater relationship negativity.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether using the Internet for different activities affects the quality of close
adolescent relationships (i.e., best friendships and romantic relationships). In a one-year longitudinal study of 884 adolescents
(Mean age = 15, 46% male), we examined whether visiting chat rooms, using ICQ, using the Internet for general entertainment,
or participating in online gaming predicted changes in the quality of best friendships and romantic relationships. Multiple
regression analyses indicated that Internet activity choice influenced later relationship quality in both best friendships
and romantic relationships. Using instant messaging (ICQ) was positively associated with most aspects of romantic relationship
and best friendship quality. In contrast, visiting chat rooms was negatively related to best friendship quality. Using the
Internet to play games and for general entertainment predicted decreases in relationship quality with best friends and with
romantic partners. These findings reflect the important and complex functions of online socialization for the development
and maintenance of relationships in adolescence.

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.

This study applies latent growth curve analysis to data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
Health (n = 10,828) and finds that symptoms of depression and social support interact with one another in a dynamic fashion across
the transition from adolescence (mean age at Wave 1 = 15.28 years) to young adulthood (mean age at Wave 3 = 21.65 years).
Parental support during adolescence is inversely associated with initial symptoms of depression for girls and boys, although
adolescent girls with low levels of parental support begin the study period with significantly higher levels of depressive
symptomatology than their male counterparts. In addition, adolescents who begin the study period with higher levels of depressive
symptomatology report less parental support during young adulthood. Finally, regardless of their initial level of depressive
symptoms, girls and boys who experience increased symptoms of depression over time also report lower levels of parental support
at the end of the study period.
