This qualitative study explored environmental factors that influence adolescents' responses to problem situations involving peers. Interviews were conducted with 106 middle school students (97% African American) from an urban school system. Participants were asked to describe factors that would make it easier and those that would make it more difficult for adolescents to make specific responses to problem situations. Two types of responses were presented: nonviolent responses identified as effective in a previous study, and fighting responses. Qualitative analysis identified 24 themes representing family, peer, school, and neighborhood and broader social factors that were related to both nonviolent behavior and fighting. The identification of environmental influences on fighting and nonviolent responses has important implications for efforts to reduce aggression and promote effective nonviolent responses to problem situations encountered by adolescents.
这项定性研究探讨了影响青少年应对涉及同伴的问题情况的环境因素。对来自城市学校系统的 106 名中学生（97%为非裔美国人）进行了访谈。要求参与者描述使青少年更难或更容易对特定问题情况做出具体反应的因素。提出了两种类型的反应：在先前的研究中被确定为有效的非暴力反应，以及打架反应。定性分析确定了 24 个主题，代表家庭、同伴、学校和邻里以及更广泛的社会因素，这些因素与非暴力行为和打架都有关。确定环境对打架和非暴力反应的影响，对于减少攻击行为以及促进青少年遇到问题情况时采取有效非暴力反应的努力具有重要意义。
