This study examined an ecological perspective on the development of antisocial behavior during adolescence, examining direct, additive, and interactive effects of child and both parenting and community factors in relation to youth problem behavior. To address this goal, the authors examined early adolescent dispositional qualities as predictors of boys' antisocial behavior within the context of parents' knowledge of adolescent activities and neighborhood dangerousness. Antisocial behavior was examined using a multimethod latent construct that included self-reported delinquency, symptoms of conduct disorder, and court petitions in a sample of 289 boys from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds who were followed longitudinally from early childhood through adolescence. Results demonstrated direct and additive findings for child prosociality, daring, and negative emotionality, which were qualified by interactions between daring and neighborhood dangerousness, and between prosociality and parental knowledge. The findings have implications for preventive intervention approaches that address the interplay of dispositional and contextual factors to prevent delinquent behavior in adolescence.
本研究从生态学视角考察了青少年期反社会行为的发展，探讨了儿童因素、教养因素和社区因素对青少年问题行为的直接、累加和交互作用。为实现这一目标，作者在父母对青少年活动的了解以及邻里危险性的背景下，考察了青少年早期的性格特质作为男孩反社会行为的预测因素。使用多方法潜在结构对反社会行为进行考察，该结构包括自我报告的犯罪行为、品行障碍症状以及法庭申诉，样本为289名来自社会经济地位较低背景的男孩，他们从幼儿期到青少年期接受纵向跟踪。结果表明，儿童亲社会行为、大胆和负面情绪存在直接和累加效应，而大胆与邻里危险性之间以及亲社会行为与父母了解程度之间的相互作用对这些效应进行了限定。这些发现对预防性干预方法具有启示意义，这些方法旨在解决性格因素和情境因素之间的相互作用，以预防青少年期的犯罪行为。
