We discuss how the five core competencies for healthy adjustment in adolescence (a positive sense of self, self-control, decision-making skills, a moral system of belief, and prosocial connectedness) are represented in theories of aggression and youth violence. We then discuss research supporting the relation between these core competencies and aggressive and violent behavior in childhood and adolescence. Finally, we address the degree to which these core competencies have been included and systematically evaluated within school-based prevention programs, and we end with suggestions for future directions.
我们讨论了青少年健康适应的五项核心能力（积极的自我意识、自我控制、决策技能、道德信仰体系和亲社会联系）在攻击和青少年暴力理论中的体现。然后，我们讨论了支持这些核心能力与儿童期和青少年期攻击及暴力行为之间关系的研究。最后，我们探讨了这些核心能力在学校预防项目中被纳入和系统评估的程度，并以对未来方向的建议作为结尾。
