Athletic Involvement and Adolescent Delinquency 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Miller KE Melnick MJ Barnes GM Sabo D Farrell MP 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2007,36(5):711-723
Athough conventional wisdom suggests that organized sport deters delinquency by building character, structuring adolescents’
time, and providing incentives for socially approved behavior, the empirical evidence to date has been mixed. Based on a sample
of approximately 600 Western New York adolescents, the present study examined how self-reported jock identity, school athlete
status, and frequency of athletic activity differentially influenced a range of delinquent behaviors. Neither athlete status
nor frequency of athletic activity predicted these behaviors; however, jock identity was associated with significantly more
incidents of delinquency. This finding was robust across both gender and race. Follow-up analyses indicated that jock identity
facilitated both minor and major delinquency, with major delinquency effects for white but not black adolescents.

The initiation of romantic relationships is a normative developmental task among female adolescents. Friendships with other females may change as part of this task. Using structured interviews, this study collected data from 102 white females (ages 17 to 19) about their history of close peer relationships during high school. Trajectories of involvement (time spent) with close peers were examined using individual growth modeling. Females who increased time with romantic partners more rapidly also decreased time with friends more rapidly. Although most spent more time with partners than with friends at some time, the timing of this change and patterns of involvement with close peers varied. One-fourth of females spent more time with partners than with friends early in high school, but spent less time with friends than others did. Another one-half spent more time with partners than with friends later in high school, gradually increasing time with partners and reducing time with friends. Other females never spent more time with partners than with friends, and maintained high involvement with friends and little involvement with partners. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to examine a model positing that association with deviant peers mediates the relation between
adolescent perceived parenting behaviors (maternal monitoring and involvement), the interaction of these parenting behaviors,
and delinquency in a sample of 135 urban African American adolescents (13–19 years of age). Regression analyses revealed a
monitoring by involvement interaction among African American females, suggesting that maternal monitoring may effectively
reduce delinquency among African American female adolescents, and that this reduction may be enhanced by increased maternal
involvement. Among African American males, only the relation between association with deviant peers and delinquency was supported,
suggesting that maternal parenting behaviors may, in isolation, be insufficient in the prevention of delinquent behaviors
in African American male adolescents. The results suggest that the pathways from parenting to association with deviant peers
and delinquency may differ in males and females, and the salience of certain parenting behaviors may differ across gender.

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.

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.

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.

Distinctiveness of Adolescent and Emerging Adult Romantic Relationship Features in Predicting Externalizing Behavior Problems 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Romantic relationship involvement has repeatedly been associated with the incidence of externalizing behavior problems, but
little is known about the nature and developmental significance of this relation. The current study extends previous research
by investigating whether and through what processes romantic relationships distinctively predict externalizing behavior problems
during adolescence compared to emerging adulthood. Data came from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
As predicted, higher levels of romantic relationship security at 16 years were associated with lower levels of externalizing
behavior problems during both adolescence and emerging adulthood, but this inverse relation was stronger for emerging adults
than for adolescents. This relation was not attributable either to earlier quality of family and peer relationships or emerging
adulthood competence. Thus, security of romantic relationships may become increasingly predictive of individual differences
in externalizing behavior problems as individuals move from adolescence to emerging adulthood.

Little is known about social cognition regarding conflict in romantic relationships during late adolescence. The current study
examined beliefs, social goals, and behavioral strategies for conflict in romantic relationships and their associations with
relationship quality among a sample of 494 college students. Two dimensions of conflict beliefs, constructive and destructive,
were identified. Constructive conflict beliefs were associated with relationship-oriented conflict goals and negotiation strategies
during romantic conflict. Destructive conflict beliefs were associated with conflict goals focused on revenge or individual
needs (self or partner) and with destructive conflict behavior (aggression and compliance). Conflict goals partially mediated
links between general conflict beliefs and specific conflict strategies. Conflict beliefs, goals, and behavior also uniquely
predicted the degree of conflict and intimacy in romantic relationships.

Adolescents and young adults (three age groups: 12–15, 16–19, and 20–28 years) reported their use of parents, and peers to
fulfill attachment functions (proximity-seeking, safe haven, and secure base.) The use of each target figure varied with age
and attachment function. Mothers were an important source of security across this age range. They were used as secure base
consistently more than fathers or peers for all age groups, and regardless of whether or not participants had romantic partners;
but were used less for proximity and safe haven by the two older groups. Best friends were used most and more than others
as a safe haven; but were used less by young adults (vs. early adolescents) and by older adolescents with romantic partners.
Romantic partners were used most and more than others for proximity; but were used less by early adolescents than by older
participants. Fathers were selected less than other targets for all attachment functions. Those with romantic partners turned
to them more than to others, and young adults selected their romantic partners as much as friends for safe haven. Those insecurely
attached to mother turned to her less and to romantic partners more than did those securely attached. Implications for developmental
changes in adolescent attachments are discussed.

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.

Pubertal Timing and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescents: The Roles of Romantic Competence and Romantic Experiences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In spite of the large literature supporting the link between early pubertal timing and depression in adolescent girls, there
are some exceptions. This suggests that there may be factors that interact with pubertal timing, increasing risk for depression
in some girls, but not others. This study examined two such factors, romantic competence and romantic experiences, and their
role in the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between pubertal timing and depressive symptoms among 83 early adolescent
females (89% Caucasian). For on-time maturing girls (but not for early- or late-), lower levels of competence were associated
with higher levels of depressive symptoms concurrently, but not longitudinally. In addition, for on-time maturing girls, more
romantic experiences were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms both concurrently and longitudinally. The discussion
focused on the need for greater conceptual and empirical clarity regarding the pubertal timing-depression association and
its potential moderators.

This study examines whether health risk behaviour in adolescence can be predicted by self- and by parental reports of psychopathology
(externalizing and internalizing symptoms) assessed two and four years earlier. A total sample of 366 fourth graders participated
in a longitudinal study with measurements taken in grades 4, 6, and 8. In grades 4 and 6 the children completed the Youth
Self Report (YSR) while their parents completed the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL). In grade 8, the children reported their
risk behaviour (smoking, sexual activity, dietary behaviour and suicidal tendencies). Results reveal that cross-informant
correlations for both symptom-scales are low to medium and tend to increase slightly from grade 4 through 8. Children reported
higher symptom-levels and changes over time than their parents. The predictability of risk behaviour in adolescence by reported
psychopathology in grade 6 exceeds the predictability in grade 4. Results indicate that the predictability of risk behaviour
by self-reports versus parental reports of psychopathology depends on the specific kind of health risk behaviour and the child’s
gender.

This study compared interpersonal relationships of adolescents from Canada, Belgium, and Italy. The sample of 377 subjects was composed almost equally of boys and girls, grouped into three age groups ranging from 11 to 18 years. Each subject participated in a semistructured interview designed to examine the levels of closeness with the mother, father, siblings, and close friends. The study revealed important discrepancies among the adolescents from the three countries. Family was found to occupy a more central role in the relational world of Italian adolescents, whereas friends were found to occupy a more important place for Canadian youth. Belgian adolescents were found to adopt a middle position between these two extremes. Variations in cultural context and cultural practices are explored as a possible interpretation of these differences. The study also revealed significant consistencies across the three countries: the importance of friends in the relational life of adolescents, the privileged position of the mother in the family, and the distant position of the father. 相似文献

Research indicates that insecurely-attached adolescents are at risk for depression, but little is known about factors that
may influence or explain this vulnerability. The present study focuses on close relationships during adolescence and their
association with depression. Specifically, the objectives were to investigate (1) the role of working models of specific attachment
figures (i.e., mother, father, best friend, and romantic partner) in the prediction of depression; and (2) the existence of
target-specific pathways to depression following relational stress. It was expected that the paths to depression would differ
depending on the attachment figure under consideration. A total of 134 adolescents (n = 88 girls; Mage = 16.95 years; SD = .74) completed attachment questionnaires, a depression inventory, and a computer task consisting of
hypothetical interpersonal vignettes and questions. Insecure attachment relationships with romantic partner, and for girls
only, with mother, were uniquely predictive of depression. Insecurely-attached adolescents' tendency to make negative attributions
in response to stresses fully mediated the attachment–depression association. These adolescents were found to ruminate when
confronted with stresses involving romantic partner, which was also associated with depression. Results underscore the link
between attachment, negative attributions, and depression.

The role of interpersonal sensitivity in the relation between romantic stress and depression was examined in 55 adolescent girls from an inner-city high school. Depression, interpersonal sensitivity, and chronic and episodic romantic stress were measured at two time points, 6 months apart. Interpersonal sensitivity was found to moderate the longitudinal relation between romantic stress (both chronic and episodic) and depression. In contrast, interpersonal sensitivity did not potentiate depressive responses to non-romantic interpersonal stress, suggesting particular importance of stress in the romantic domain for adolescent girls. Results indicate that girls' sensitivities to romantic relationship stress should be specifically addressed in depression prevention and intervention programs.Received her PhD from the University of Southern California.

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.

Using a large longitudinal representative community sample, this study identified three groups of subjects who were depressed
either in pre-adolescence, late adolescence or early adulthood, and matched by age and gender to controls without depression.
The 90th percentile on one or two self-reported symptom scales [i. e. the Center for Epidemilogical Studies Depression Scale
(CES-D) or the subscale Anxious / Depressed subscale on either the Youth Self Report (YSR) or the Young Adult Self Report
(YASR)] served as the cut-off for the depression groups. Psychosocial variables under study included life events and life
events impact, coping, self-related cognitions, perceived parental rearing style, family relations, perceived school environment,
and the internalizing (except anxious/depressed) and externalizing problem scale of the YSR/YASR. The study found a large
number of time-related correlations between psychosocial factors and depression. Evidence for causal effect (either antecedent
or consequent) was obtained only for self-esteem, perceived maternal rejection, and internalizing problems. 相似文献

Social ecological theories and decades of supporting research suggest that contexts exert a powerful influence on adolescent delinquency. Individual traits, such as impulse control, also pose a developmental disadvantage to adolescents through increasing risk of delinquency. However, such individual differences may also predispose some youth to struggle more in adverse environments, but also to excel in enriched environments. Despite the prominence of impulse control in both developmental and criminological literatures, researchers are only beginning to consider impulse control as an individual characteristic that may affect developmental outcomes in response to environmental input. Using a racially diverse (Latino 46?%; Black 37?%; White 15?%; other race 2?%) sample of 1,216 first-time, male, juvenile offenders from the longitudinal Crossroads Study, this study examined key interactions between baseline impulse control and the home, school, and neighborhood contexts in relation to delinquency within the following 6 months. The results indicated that even after accounting for prior delinquency, youth in more negative home, school, and neighborhood contexts engaged in the same amount of delinquency in the following 6 months regardless of their level of impulse control. However, the effects of positive home, school, and neighborhood contexts on delinquency were stronger for youth with moderate or high impulse control and minimally affected youth with low impulse control. The findings suggest two risk factors for delinquency: low impulse control as a dispositional vulnerability that operates independently of developmental context, and a second that results from a contextual vulnerability. 相似文献

The involvement of adolescents with deviant peer groups is one of the strongest proximal correlates to juvenile delinquency
and stems from a variety of causes. Past research has linked ineffective parenting with peer variables, including deviant
peer group involvement and peer conflict during adolescence. In this study, adolescents’ appraisals of procedural justice
within the family (adolescents’ appraisals of how fairly they are treated by parents in the process of resolving family conflict)
were examined as one aspect of effective parenting that may relate to deviant peer group involvement in early adolescence.
Data from 1660 middle school students (ages 11–14, mean = 12.6) indicated that higher appraisals by adolescents of procedural
justice during family conflict resolution were related to lower levels of both peer conflict and deviant peer group involvement.
A structural model was tested in which the relationship between adolescents’ appraisals of procedural justice in the family
and deviant peer group involvement was partially mediated by measures of peer conflict. This model was found to have adequate
fit to the data, indicating that part of the relationship between procedural justice appraisals and deviant peer group involvement
can be explained by levels of peer conflict. Implications of these findings are discussed.
