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

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.

There is strong evidence that early pubertal timing is associated with adolescent problem behaviors. However, there has been
limited investigation of the mechanisms or developmental relationships. The present study examined longitudinal models incorporating
pubertal timing, delinquency, and sexual activity in a sample of 454 adolescents (9–13 years old at enrollment; 47% females).
Participants were seen for three assessments approximately 1 year apart. Characteristics of friendship networks (older friends,
male friends, older male friends) were examined as mediators. Structural equation modeling was used to test these associations
as well as temporal relationships between sexual activity and delinquency. Results showed that early pubertal timing at Time
1 was related to more sexual activity at Time 2, which was related to higher delinquency at Time 3, a trend mediation effect.
None of the friendship variables mediated these associations. Gender or maltreatment status did not moderate the meditational
pathways. The results also supported the temporal sequence of sexual activity preceding increases in delinquency. These findings
reveal that early maturing adolescents may actively seek out opportunities to engage in sexual activity which appears to be
risk for subsequent delinquency. 相似文献

This article seeks to examine the area characteristics that act as determinants of area property crime levels, namely, incidence and prevalence. The crime figures are extracted from the 1984 British Crime Survey. Area characteristics are taken from the 1981 UK census. Initial exploratory analysis considers the non-Gaussian nature of the crime data, the statistical implications of this, and the transformations used to overcome these problems. In addition, possible regional and inner-city/non-inner-city variations are considered. The later stages move from simple individual correlations to multiple regression models. Three regression models are considered and the reasons for refining these are explored, with the results indicating that both area characteristics and regional influences play a role as determinants of the area crime level. In particular, population density and the area population age profile have significant roles to play. The conclusions support the recent revival of the application of ecological concepts in the analysis of crime levels. 相似文献

This study examines the psychological and behavioral effects of exposure to community violence of 47 Latino mothers and their young adolescent children. Using data gathered from multiple sources, this study tests the associations between lifetime exposure to community violence, maternal depression, and child behavior problems. More than 80% of the youngsters ranging from age 11 to 14 years and 68% of the mothers reported being exposed to at least one act of community violence either as a victim or as a witness. Analyses reveal that maternal depression is a mediator of child behavior problems, reducing the direct effect of community violence exposure by more than 50%. Findings suggest that maternal depression is a factor more important than child's community violence exposure in contributing to young adolescents' behavioral problems. 相似文献

Both research and public policy efforts to determine levels of spouse abuse have been compromised, with significant incidence either uncounted or undercounted, owing to numerous factors: social stigma, victim guilt, evasive public policy, and sparse and/or technically inadequate research attempts. The CAPINDEX (Crimes-Against-Persons Index) is an estimation technique that tackles this persistent problem by using rates of well-reported violent crimes to predict the incidence of poorly reported violent crimes like spouse abuse. The numerical bases of the CAPINDEX, murder and aggravated assault, are well-reported and not subject to social class skewing. The relational approach of the technique is consistent with structural, cultural consistency, and ecological theories of violence. The technique is not only efficacious in estimating spouse abuse, but applicable to estimating sexual assault rates. 相似文献

Revictimization and self-harm in females who experienced childhood sexual abuse: results from a prospective study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Lifetime trauma histories were ascertained for females with confirmed histories of childhood sexual abuse and comparison females participating in a longitudinal, prospective study. Abused participants reported twice as many subsequent rapes or sexual assaults (p = .07), 1.6 times as many physical affronts including domestic violence (p = .01), almost four times as many incidences of self-inflicted harm (p = .002), and more than 20% more subsequent, significant lifetime traumas (p = .04) than did comparison participants. Sexual revictimization was positively correlated with posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (PTSD), peritraumatic dissociation, and sexual preoccupation. Physical revictimization was positively correlated with PTSD symptoms, pathological dissociation, and sexually permissive attitudes. Self-harm was positively correlated with both peritraumatic and pathological dissociation. Competing theoretical explanations for revictimization and self-harm are discussed and evaluated. 相似文献

Much recent victimization research has concentrated on predicting who will be victimized, with relatively little concern for
the number of events suffered. This study turns to the latter issue by focusing attention on the prediction of repeat victimization.
A statistical methodology is employed which allows for the explicit recognition that an initial victimization must occur prior
to any repeat event. When applied to property crime information from the 1984 British Crime Survey, we find little evidence
that repeat victims have distinctive characteristics compared with single victims. Nevertheless, households with characteristics
which protect from victimization, in the sense of giving rise to a low initial risk, have this protection reduced for a subsequent
event. Moreover, comparing two households with different risk characteristics, their repeat victimization probabilities are
more similar than were those for the initial occurrence. 相似文献
