Two cross-sectional studies investigated media influences on adolescents’ substance use and intentions to use substances in
the context of exposure to parental and peer risk and protective factors. A total of 729 middle school students (n = 351, 59% female in Study 1; n = 378, 43% female in Study 2) completed self-report questionnaires. The sample in Study 1 was primarily African-American
(52%) and the sample in Study 2 was primarily Caucasian (63%). Across the two studies, blocks of media-related cognitions
made unique contributions to the prediction of adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future above and beyond self-reported peer and parental influences. Specifically, identification with and perceived similarity
to media messages were positively associated with adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the
future, and critical thinking about media messages and media message deconstruction skills were negatively associated with
adolescents’ intention to use substances in the future. Further, peer influence variables (e.g., peer pressure, social norms,
peer substance use) acted as risk factors, and for the most part, parental influence variables (e.g., parental pressure to
not use, perceived parental reaction) acted as protective factors. These findings highlight the importance of developing an
increased understanding of the role of media messages and media literacy education in the prevention of substance use behaviors
in adolescence. 相似文献

This study examined dimensions of mothers’ and fathers’ involvement in adolescents’ romantic relationships when offspring
were age 17. Using cluster analysis, parents from 105 White, working and middle class families were classified as positively
involved, negatively involved, or autonomy-oriented with respect to their adolescents’ romantic relationships. Patterns of
parental involvement were generally not associated with parent–offspring relationship quality at about adolescent age 13,
but earlier parent–offspring relationship quality moderated the associations between parental involvement and adolescent romantic
experiences at about age 18. Positive parent–offspring relationship quality buffered the effects of negative parental involvement,
whereas poorer parent–offspring relationship quality was a more adaptive context for adolescents of autonomy-oriented parents.
Discussion focuses on the importance of parenting practices in adolescent romantic relationships and the emotional climate
of parent–offspring relationships as a developmental context for those practices.

Drawing on García Coll et al.’s integrative framework and the risk and resilience model, this study examined the relationships
between adolescents’ perceived discrimination and psychosocial adjustment and the moderating roles of adolescents’, mothers’,
and fathers’ cultural orientations and values, and adolescent gender in a sample of 246 Mexican-origin families. Using multilevel
modeling with data from mothers, fathers, seventh graders (M
age = 12.8 years; SD = .57 year) and older siblings (M
age = 15.7 years; SD = 1.5 years), findings revealed that perceived discrimination was positively related to depression, risky
behaviors, and deviant peer affiliations. In addition, parents’ cultural orientations and values and adolescent gender moderated
the relationships between perceived discrimination and some indicators of adjustment. These findings suggest that parents’
cultural orientations and values can serve as protective and vulnerability factors in the associations between Mexican-origin
adolescents’ perceived discrimination and their psychosocial adjustment. 相似文献

Early sexual behaviors during adolescence have the potential to lead to unhealthy outcomes. This study explored the association
between specific dimensions of maternal relationship quality and adolescent sexual debut by age 15. We hypothesized that adolescents
who have poor maternal relationships are at greater risk of early sexual debut than those who have a more supportive relationship.
These hypotheses were examined using both adolescents’ perception of their maternal relationship quality and observed relationship
quality. A sample of 268 adolescents (142 girls; 90% European American) were followed longitudinally from age 13 to age 15.
The results indicate that adolescents with sexual debut by age 15 report significantly worse relationships with their mothers
compared with other adolescents. Furthermore, behavioral observations of lower maternal support and higher observed displays
of externalizing affect towards the mother also were related to early sexual debut. The significance of maternal relationship
quality remained after controlling for family structure, race, and socioeconomic status. These findings suggest that mothers
have a significant role in the timing of their adolescents’ sexual debut. 相似文献

How Do I Feel About Feelings? Emotion Socialization in Families of Depressed and Healthy Adolescents
Erin C. Hunter Lynn Fainsilber Katz Joann Wu Shortt Betsy Davis Craig Leve Nicholas B. Allen Lisa B. Sheeber 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2011,40(4):428-441
Emotional and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence set the stage for the development of adaptive or maladaptive
beliefs about emotions. Although research suggests that parents’ behaviors and beliefs about emotions relate to children’s
emotional abilities, few studies have looked at parental socialization of children’s emotions, particularly in families with
depressed adolescents. The present study examined associations between parent and adolescent meta-emotion philosophies (MEP),
defined as thoughts, reactions, and feelings about their own emotions. Additionally, adolescent depressive status was tested
as a moderator of relationships between parents’ and adolescents’ MEP. One hundred and 52 adolescents, aged 14–18 (65.8% female),
and their parents (148 mothers, 106 fathers) participated in a study on emotion socialization in families of depressed and
healthy adolescents. Depressed adolescents (n = 75) and matched healthy adolescents (n = 77) were recruited based on research criteria for mental health status. The sample was largely Caucasian (82%) and of middle
socioeconomic class status. Results indicated that mothers’ and fathers’ MEP about their children’s emotions were associated
with adolescents’ MEP, although parents’ MEP about their own emotions was unrelated to adolescents’ MEP. Fathers’ MEP about
children’s emotions made unique contributions to adolescents’ MEP across both adolescent groups. Adolescents’ depressive status
moderated the relationship between mothers’ and adolescents’ MEP such that mothers’ MEP was particularly relevant for depressed
adolescents. The continued influence of parents in the emotional lives of adolescents is discussed as well as differences
in emotion socialization in families with depressed and healthy adolescents. 相似文献

There is a dearth of published research on the role of intergroup contact on urban US ethnic minority children’s and adolescents’
evaluations of racial exclusion. The current investigation examined these issues in a sample of low-income minority 4th, 7th,
and 10th grade (N = 129, 60% female) African American and Latino/a students attending predominately racial and ethnic minority US urban public
schools. Using individual interviews, participants were presented with scenarios depicting three contexts of interracial peer
exclusion (lunch at school, a sleepover party, and a school dance). Novel findings were that intergroup contact was significantly
related to low-income urban ethnic minority youth’s evaluations of the wrongfulness of race-based exclusion and their awareness
of the use of stereotypes to justify racial exclusion. Further, significant interactions involving intergroup contact, context,
age, and gender were also found. Findings illustrated the importance of intergroup contact for ethnic minority students and
the complexity of ethnic minority children’s and adolescents’ judgments and decision-making about interracial peer exclusion. 相似文献

Fear of abandonment has been found to be associated with mental health problems for youth who have experienced a parent’s
death. This article examines how youth’s fears of abandonment following the death of a parent lead to later depressive symptoms
by influencing relationships with caregivers, peers, and romantic partners. Participants were 109 youth ages 7–16 (50% male),
assessed 4 times over a 6-year period. The ethnic composition of the sample was non-Hispanic Caucasian (67%), Hispanic (16%),
African American (7%), Native American (3%), Asian (1%), and Other (6%). Youth’s fears of abandonment by their surviving caregiver
during the first year of data collection were related to their anxiety in romantic relationships 6 years later, which, in
turn, was associated with depressive symptoms measured at 6 years. Youth’s caregiver, peer, and romantic relationships at
the 6-year follow-up were related to their concurrent depressive symptoms. The relationship between youth’s attachment to
their surviving caregiver and their depressive symptoms was stronger for younger participants. Implications of these findings
for understanding the development of mental health problems following parental bereavement are discussed. 相似文献

Despite a growing body of research on parental management of peer relationships, little is known about the relationship between
parental management of peers and early adolescents’ social skills or the precursors to parental management of peer relationships.
The goals of this short-term longitudinal investigation were to examine the relationship between parental management of peers
(consulting and guiding), conflict about peers, and adolescents’ social skills (cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy,
and self-control) and to examine potential precursors (goals of improving peer relationships and beliefs about authority over
peer relationships) to parental management of peer relationships. A predominantly White sample (71%) of 75 seventh-graders
(57% female) and their primary caregivers participated in the 9-month investigation. Caregivers completed questionnaires regarding
goals of improving their adolescents’ peer relationships, beliefs about parental authority over peer relationships, parental
management of peers, and adolescents’ social skills. Adolescents completed questionnaires regarding their social skills. Path
analyses suggest that a greater number of caregivers’ goals of improving peer relationships and higher beliefs about parental
authority over peers were related to higher levels of consulting, guiding, and conflict about peers. Higher levels of conflict
about peers in conjunction with higher levels of consulting were related to lower levels of assertion and responsibility in
peer relationships over time. When parents reported having a greater number of goals of improving peer relationships, adolescents
reported higher levels of cooperation, assertion, empathy, and self control over time. Findings suggest that caregivers’ goals
and beliefs are important in predicting parental management of peer relationships and adolescents’ social skills over time,
and that conflict about peers undermines caregivers’ efforts to be positively involved in adolescents’ peer relationships. 相似文献

This investigation examined the precursors of adolescents’ participation in sport and music activities in the United States
by testing a developmental model across 7 years. Data were drawn from youth questionnaires in the Childhood and Beyond Study
(92% European American; N = 594). Findings suggest that patterns of participation across a 3-year period in elementary school predict adolescents’
participation through their motivational beliefs. Specifically, children who participated in an activity, children who participated
consistently across multiple years, and children who were highly active had higher adolescent motivational beliefs 4 years
later than their peers. These motivational beliefs, in turn, positively predicted adolescents’ participation 1 year later.
Cross-domain analyses suggest that children typically maintain their orientation toward sports and music (e.g., high music-low
sport orientation, not oriented toward either domain) as they age. These findings highlight the consistency in children’s
leisure pursuits and interests from childhood through adolescence. 相似文献

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.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the causal nature of the relationship between adolescents’ risky sexual behavior
on the internet and their perceptions of this behavior. Engagement in the following online behaviors was assessed: searching
online for someone to talk about sex, searching online for someone to have sex, sending intimate photos or videos to someone
online, and sending one’s telephone number and address to someone exclusively known online. The relationship between these
behaviors and adolescents’ perceptions of peer involvement, personal invulnerability, and risks and benefits was investigated.
A two-wave longitudinal study among a representative sample of 1,445 Dutch adolescents aged 12–17 was conducted (49% females).
Autoregressive cross-lagged structural equation models revealed that perceived peer involvement, perceived vulnerability,
and perceived risks were all significant predictors of risky sexual online behavior 6 months later. No reverse causal paths
were found. When the relationships between perceptions and risky sexual online behavior were modeled simultaneously, only
perceived peer involvement was a determinant of risky sexual online behavior. Findings highlight the importance of addressing
peer involvement in future interventions to reduce adolescents’ risky sexual online behavior. 相似文献

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.

Adolescents’ romantic relationships have been associated with higher levels of depression, although their links with externalizing
behavioral problems remain unclear. The present study examined the impact of adolescent romantic relationships on depression
and externalizing behaviors in a large sample of 10,509 Chinese secondary school students (ages 12–19, 54.5% female). The
results showed that romantic involvement in adolescence, especially in early adolescence, was associated with more depressive
symptoms and behavior problems. Breakups in romantic relationships were an important factor in producing the negative emotional
and behavioral consequences. Romantically involved girls experienced higher levels of depressive symptoms, while romantically
involved boys had higher levels of externalizing behaviors, compared to their non-dating peers. The results also indicated
that the adverse impact was stronger for those involved in romantic relationships at younger ages. 相似文献

This study examined the relationships of adolescents’ perceptions of parental and peer behaviors with cigarette and alcohol
use in different neighborhood contexts. The sample included 924 adolescents (49% boys, 51% girls) 12–14 years of age whose
addresses were matched with 1990 census block groups. Six neighborhood types were identified through a cluster analysis. The
findings suggest that parental smoking was associated with increased adolescent smoking in suburban white middle socioeconomic
status (SES) neighborhoods. Peer smoking was associated with increased adolescent smoking in rural neighborhoods. Parental
monitoring was associated with decreased adolescent drinking in urban white high-SES neighborhoods and parental drinking was
associated with increased adolescent drinking in urban white middle-SES neighborhoods, respectively. Peer drinking was associated
with increased adolescent drinking in urban neighborhoods. This study demonstrates the importance of examining parental and
peer influences on adolescent smoking and drinking in different neighborhood contexts. 相似文献

Parents’ Self-efficacy Beliefs and Their Children’s Psychosocial Adaptation During Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Research has shown that parents’ perceived parental self-efficacy (PSE) plays a pivotal role in promoting their children’s
successful adjustment. In this study, we further explored this issue by comparing psychosocial adaptation in children of parents
with high and low PSE during adolescence. One hundred and thirty Italian teenagers (55 males and 75 females) and one of their
parents (101 mothers and 29 fathers) participated in the research. Data were collected at T1 (adolescents’ mean age = 13.6)
and T2 (mean age = 17.5). Parents reported their PSE at T1. At T1 and T2, adolescents reported their perceived academic self-efficacy,
aggressive and violent conducts, well-being, and perceived quality of their relationships with parents. At T2, they were also
administered questions by using Experience Sampling Method to assess their quality of experience in daily life. As hypothesized,
adolescents with high PSE parents reported higher competence, freedom and well-being in learning activities as well as in
family and peer interactions. They also reported fewer problematic aspects and more daily opportunities for optimal experience.
Findings pointed to the stability of adolescents’ psychosocial adaptation and highlighted possible directions in future research. 相似文献

Situated within a positive psychology perspective, this study explored linkages between adolescent students’ positive subjective
well-being and their levels of engagement in schooling. Specifically, using structural equation modeling techniques, we evaluated
the nature and directionality of longitudinal relationships between life satisfaction and student engagement variables. It
was hypothesized that adolescents’ life satisfaction and student engagement variables would show bidirectional relationships.
To test this hypothesis, 779 students (53% female, 62% Caucasian) in a Southeastern US middle school completed a measure of
global life satisfaction and measures of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement at two time points, 5 months apart.
A statistically significant bidirectional relationship between life satisfaction and cognitive engagement was found; however,
non-significant relationships were found between life satisfaction and emotional and behavioral student engagement. The findings
provide important evidence of the role of early adolescents’ life satisfaction in their engagement in schooling during the
important transition grades between elementary and high school. The findings also help extend the positive psychology perspective
to the relatively neglected context of education. 相似文献

Previous research has consistently documented the importance of VIPs (mentors or important non-parental adults) in the lives
of adolescents. Little is known, however, about whether VIPs play the same important roles across ethnic groups and whether
VIPs remain influential when adolescents are older and involved in romantic relationships. The present study compared VIPs
of 355 Hispanic, Asian, and European American older adolescents (age range = 17–19 years; M = 18.7 years; 62% female). Results indicated that, despite ethnic differences in their social capital, VIPs’ psychological
characteristics (e.g., warmth and acceptance, depressive symptoms, and problem behavior) were similar. VIPs were perceived
to have more positive psychological profiles than parents and peers, and in some cases, romantic partners. Moreover, with
a few exceptions, the associations between VIP characteristics and adolescent adjustment (e.g., self-esteem, depressive symptoms,
and problem behavior) were largely similar across ethnic groups. Finally, VIPs made unique contributions to adolescents’ self-esteem
and problem behaviors even after the effects of romantic partners were considered. Implications of the findings are discussed. 相似文献

With substantive evidence suggesting that adolescents’ disclosure is likely a protective factor against problem behaviors,
as well as evidence that many adolescents will go to great lengths to avoid sharing information with parents, one may conclude that parents’ face a formidable task. Previous studies have identified
parental acceptance as a concurrent correlate of adolescents’ behavioral disclosure, but have neglected to investigate potential ways that parents could encourage their adolescents to feel comfortable
disclosing emotional information. The present study extends the literature by using a longitudinal, multi-method, multi-reporter design to examine
whether maternal acceptance is predictive of emotional disclosure over time among a racially/socioeconomically diverse sample of 184 adolescents (53% female). Results indicate that adolescents who
perceive their mothers as high in acceptance during early adolescence exhibit greater relative increases in both self-reported
emotional communication and observed emotional disclosure to their mothers 3 years later. Interestingly, mothers’ perceptions
of their own acceptance does not provide any additional predictive value. These findings support the notion that adolescents’
emotional disclosure is an ongoing process that can be fostered in early adolescence, and emphasize the importance of considering
adolescents’ perceptions of the relationship to successfully do so. 相似文献

Socialization and individual differences were examined as antecedents of moral motivation in representative samples of 15-year-old
adolescents (N = 1,258; 54% female) and 21-year-old young adults (N = 584; 53% female). The adolescents’ primary caregivers (N = 1,056) also participated. The strength of moral motivation was rated by participants’ responses to two hypothetical moral
dilemmas in terms of action decisions, emotion attributions, and justifications. Socialization was measured by the perceived
quality of friendship, parent–child relationships, and educational background. The importance attached to social justice and
various personality traits were also assessed. Adolescents’ moral motivation was positively associated with the quality of
their parent–child relationship and the importance of social justice. Young adults’ moral motivation was predicted by the
perceived quality of friendships, the importance of social justice, and agreeableness. For both groups, moral motivation was
greater in females. The theoretical implications of the findings for the development of moral motivation are discussed. 相似文献
