This article studies teenage homicide victims in Metro-Dade County, Miami, FL, U.S.A., between the years 1973 through 1982. A total of 263 cases were selected. Cases were then analyzed with respect to age, race, sex, cause of death, scene circumstances, alcohol and drugs detected at autopsy. A discussion follows that highlights these parameters from the standpoint of adolescence and the changing modern society. 相似文献

Data from the Fragile Families and Child-Well-being Study were used to examine predictors of involvement among fathers of
young children (N=2,215) born to adolescent and young adult mothers (ages 14–25; N=2,850). Participants were interviewed immediately following their baby's birth and at 3-years postpartum regarding co-parental
relationship quality, fathers’ caretaking behavior (“father involvement”), and fathers’ provision of material support for
the child (“in-kind” support). Early postnatal and 3-year postpartum parental relationship quality and father-child cohabitation
predicted 3-year father involvement while early father involvement did not. The race of fathers, specifically African American,
was associated with lower levels of father involvement. For in-kind support, 3-year father-child cohabitation and 3-year relationship
quality were both positively associated with provision of in-kind support. Father's income was not a significant predictor
but mother's involvement with a new partner at the 3-year follow-up was marginally significant. Lastly, the race of fathers,
specifically African American and Latino, was associated with provision of less in-kind support.

This study reports on relationships among gender, maternal depressed mood, and children’s trajectories of depressive phenomena across middle childhood and early adolescence. It tested the hypothesis that, compared to boys, girls become increasingly vulnerable to maternal depression as they enter adolescence. The study sample consisted of 834 families from 10 Pacific Northwest schools that participated in the Raising Healthy Children project. Maternal depressed mood and children’s depressive phenomena were assessed annually during an 8-year period that spanned Grade 3 through Grade 10 for the children. Mean scores for girls’ depressive phenomena increased relative to those for boys as children matured. Maternal depressed mood was significantly and positively associated with children’s level of depressive phenomena. An interaction effect of gender and maternal depressed mood on acceleration in children’s depressive phenomena indicated that girls’ trajectories of depressive phenomena were sustained in the presence of maternal depression while those of boys declined in the presence of maternal depression.

Although numerous cross-national studies have assessed life satisfaction among adults, similar studies using adolescent samples
have been rare. To address this shortage of research, a total of 1338 youth adolescents from two individualistic nations (Ireland,
USA) and two collectivistic nations (China, South Korea) were administered the Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS: Huebner, 1994) to assesses general life satisfaction and satisfaction with family, friends, school, self, and living environment. Responses
were analyzed to assess potential cross-national differences in (a) mean levels of life satisfaction, and (b) response styles,
specifically acquiescence and extreme responding. Mean scores revealed positive ratings by adolescents from all four nations
across all domains, with the exceptions of satisfaction with school experiences (Ireland, South Korean, USA), living environment
(China, South Korea), self (South Korea), and general life satisfaction (South Korea). Results also revealed significant response
style differences across all MSLSS domains. Significant gender and gender-by-nation effects were observed for both mean score
and response style differences, although the effect sizes were small. The implications of these findings were discussed, particularly
with respect to “individualistic” vs. “collectivistic” cultural differences.

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.

This study examined parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment in relation to ethnicity (African American,
Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic), parental education, children’s academic performance, and parental perceptions of the quality
and climate of their children’s school with a sample of 13,577 middle and high school parents. All parents had relatively
high educational aspirations for their children, and within each ethnic subgroup, parental education and children’s academic
performance were significantly and positively related to parental aspirations. However, moderating effects were found such
that Caucasian parents with lower levels of education had significantly lower educational aspirations for their children than
did parents of other ethnicities with similar low levels of education. Although the strength of the relationship between parental
perceptions of school-related factors and parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment was not strong,
it was most predictive of non-Caucasian parental aspirations for their children.

The current study empirically examined predictors of level of voice (ethnicity, attachment, and gender role socialization)
in a diverse sample of 108 14-year-old girls. Structural equation modeling results indicated that parental attachment predicted
level of voice with authority figures, and gender role socialization predicted level of voice with authority figures and peers.
Both masculinity and femininity were salient for higher levels of voice with authority figures whereas higher scores on masculinity
contributed to higher levels of voice with peers. These findings suggest that, contrary to previous theoretical work, femininity
itself is not a risk factor for low levels of voice. In addition, African-American girls had higher levels of voice with teachers
and classmates than did Caucasian girls, and girls who were in a school with a greater concentration of ethnic minorities
had higher levels of voice with peers than did girls at a school with fewer minority students.

As research on adolescent crowds has increased over the past several decades, researchers appear to be confident in their
claims of the consequences of crowd membership, even suggesting targeted interventions. This review of the various methods
used to identify adolescents’ crowd membership suggests that this confidence may be misplaced. There are diverse methodologies
used in this research area that examine different samples of adolescents belonging to each crowd. Social-type rating methods,
self-identification methods, grouping by adolescent behaviors or characteristics, and ethnographic or other qualitative methods
should be accompanied by greater specificity in terminology to alert researchers to the various phenomena being studied (i.e.,
“reputational crowd,” “interactional crowd,” “behavioral crowd,” “affiliation crowd”). Additionally, studies comparing the
various self-identification approaches and peer ratings are needed, along with reliability studies of peer ratings. More attention
to specific methodology to determine crowd membership and its stability will aid the design of theoretical models of adolescent
crowds and contribute to developmental outcome research.

This study included three waves of data, collected from approximately 890 African-American children and their families. Antecedents
and consequences of psychiatric disorders among this population were examined. Children’s temperament, pubertal timing, and
experience of stressful life events were tested as antecedents of psychiatric disorders. Several aspects of school functioning
were then tested as consequences of psychiatric disorders. In addition, children with a single psychiatric disorder and those
with comorbid disorders were statistically compared. Results showed that (1) children with at least one disorder, compared
to those with no disorder, exhibited significantly more difficult temperament, experienced puberty earlier, and underwent
greater numbers of stressful life events; (2) those with at least one disorder had significantly poorer school outcomes than
those with no disorder; (3) children with comorbid disorders, compared with those who had only one disorder, displayed lower
educational aspirations and poorer school commitment.

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