Given that gambling, alcohol misuse, other drug use, and delinquency are correlated, it is hypothesized that these problem behaviors have shared antecedents. Measures from 3 explanatory domains--sociodemographic factors (age, race, and socioeconomic status), individual factors (impulsivity and moral disengagement), and socialization factors (parental monitoring and peer delinquency)--were tested for links to problem behaviors in 2 longitudinal samples of adolescents. Black youth had lower levels of problem behaviors than Whites. Impulsivity was a significant predictor of alcohol misuse for females and delinquency for males. Moral disengagement predicted gambling for males. Parental monitoring showed a significant inverse relationship to alcohol misuse and other substance use for males. Peer delinquency showed numerous prospective paths to youth problem behaviors for both genders.
鉴于赌博、酗酒、其他药物滥用和犯罪行为之间存在关联，因此推测这些问题行为有共同的前因。在两个青少年纵向样本中，对来自3个解释领域的指标——社会人口学因素（年龄、种族和社会经济地位）、个体因素（冲动性和道德推脱）以及社会化因素（父母监督和同伴犯罪）——与问题行为之间的联系进行了测试。黑人青少年的问题行为水平低于白人。冲动性是女性酗酒和男性犯罪的一个重要预测因素。道德推脱可预测男性的赌博行为。父母监督与男性的酗酒和其他物质使用呈显著负相关。同伴犯罪行为对男女青少年的问题行为都显示出众多的前瞻性路径。
