The role of hostile attributional style (HAS) in antisocial development has been well-documented. We analyzed longitudinal data on 585 youths (48% female; 19% ethnic minority) to test the hypothesis that response evaluation and decision (RED) mediates the relation between HAS and antisocial behavior in adolescence. In Grades 10 and 12, adolescent participants and their parents reported participants' antisocial conduct. In Grade 11, participants were asked to imagine themselves in videotaped ambiguous-provocation scenarios. Segment 1 of each scenario presented an ambiguous provocation, after which participants answered HAS questions. In segment 2, participants were asked to imagine themselves responding aggressively to the provocateur, after which RED was assessed. Structural equation modeling indicated that RED mediates the relation between HAS and subsequent antisocial conduct, controlling for previous misconduct. Findings are consistent with research on the development of executive function processes in adolescence, and suggest that the relation between HAS and RED changes after childhood.
敌意归因偏差(HAS)在反社会发展中的作用已得到充分证明。我们分析了 585 名青少年(48%为女性;19%为少数族裔)的纵向数据,以验证假设,即反应评价和决策(RED)在 HAS 与青少年期反社会行为之间起中介作用。在 10 年级和 12 年级,青少年参与者及其父母报告了参与者的反社会行为。在 11 年级,要求参与者想象自己在录像的模棱两可的挑衅情景中。每个情景的第 1 节呈现出模棱两可的挑衅,之后参与者回答 HAS 问题。在第 2 节中,要求参与者想象自己对挑衅者进行攻击性回应,之后评估 RED。结构方程模型表明,在控制以前的不当行为后,RED 中介了 HAS 与随后的反社会行为之间的关系。研究结果与青少年执行功能过程发展的研究一致,并表明 HAS 和 RED 之间的关系在儿童期后发生变化。
