This study compared alternative hypotheses (from general deviance, life course, and developmental psychopathology perspectives) regarding the effects of early adolescent delinquency on psychosocial functioning in family, school, and peer contexts, and on alcohol use. Analyses also examined parent-child negative affective quality, prosocial school orientation, and peer substance use as possible direct predictors of problem substance use. Participants in this longitudinal study, extending from age 11 to age 18, were 429 rural teens (222 girls) and their families. Path model comparisons supported the tenability of a partial mediation model that included mediating pathways and a direct effect of delinquency on alcohol use, as hypothesized by developmental psychopathology. A supplemental analysis controlling for the stability of the family, school, and peer variables revealed that delinquency had less pervasive direct effects on, and a nonsignificant indirect effect through, changes in the mediators over time. Results also showed that peer substance use was a direct positive predictor of problem use.
本研究比较了关于青少年早期犯罪对家庭、学校和同伴环境中的心理社会功能以及饮酒行为影响的不同假设（从一般偏差、生命历程和发展心理病理学角度）。分析还考察了亲子负面情感质量、亲社会学校取向以及同伴物质使用情况，将其作为问题物质使用的可能直接预测因素。这项从11岁到18岁的纵向研究的参与者为429名农村青少年（222名女孩）及其家庭。路径模型比较支持了一个部分中介模型的合理性，该模型包括中介路径以及如发展心理病理学所假设的犯罪行为对饮酒的直接影响。一项控制家庭、学校和同伴变量稳定性的补充分析表明，随着时间推移，犯罪行为对中介变量变化的直接影响范围较小，且通过中介变量产生的间接影响不显著。结果还表明，同伴物质使用是问题使用的直接正向预测因素。
