This study explored the changing relations among self-worth, peer deviance, and alcohol-related problems in a sample of 224 urban-dwelling, American Indian adolescents. Data were collected annually at 7 time points to test a proposed mediational model. As expected, peer deviance mediated the relation between low self-worth and alcohol-related problems in younger adolescents; however, this relation did not hold as participants became older. In older adolescents, low self-worth and peer deviance directly and independently contributed to alcohol problems. Possible explanations for and implications of these findings are discussed in terms of developmental changes during adolescence.
本研究在224名居住在城市的美国印第安青少年样本中，探讨了自我价值感、同伴偏差行为与酒精相关问题之间不断变化的关系。每年在7个时间点收集数据，以检验一个提出的中介模型。正如预期的那样，同伴偏差行为在较年轻青少年中中介了低自我价值感与酒精相关问题之间的关系；然而，随着参与者年龄增长，这种关系不再成立。在年龄较大的青少年中，低自我价值感和同伴偏差行为直接且独立地导致了酒精问题。从青春期的发展变化角度讨论了这些发现的可能解释及意义。
