This study explored three aspects of peer group membership in adolescence: peer group affiliation, the importance of group membership, and a sense of peer group belonging. Each is considered in relationship to adolescents' behavior problems as measured by the Achenbach Youth Self-Report. Participants included an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse sample of 733 adolescents ranging in age from 11 to 18 years. Girls reported more internalizing problems and boys reported more externalizing problems. Girls also reported a higher sense of peer group belonging than boys. When controlling for adolescent age, gender, ethnicity, parent's educational level, and family structure, a sense of peer group belonging was negatively related to internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Adolescents who viewed peer group membership as very important to them and had a positive sense of peer group belonging had significantly fewer behavior problems than those who viewed peer group membership as very important but did not have a positive sense of peer group belonging.
同伴群体归属、群体成员身份的重要性以及同伴群体归属感。每一个方面都与通过阿肯巴克青少年自评量表测量的青少年行为问题相关联进行考量。参与者包括733名年龄在11至18岁之间、种族和社会经济背景各异的青少年样本。女孩报告的内化问题更多，男孩报告的外化问题更多。女孩报告的同伴群体归属感也高于男孩。在控制青少年年龄、性别、种族、父母教育水平和家庭结构后，同伴群体归属感与内化和外化行为问题呈负相关。认为同伴群体成员身份对自己非常重要且有积极同伴群体归属感的青少年，其行为问题明显少于那些认为同伴群体成员身份非常重要但没有积极同伴群体归属感的青少年。
