Five waves of longitudinal data collected from 349 African American youth living in extreme poverty were used to examine the interrelationship between exposure to violence and parenting during adolescence. Semi-parametric group based modeling was used to identify trajectories of parental monitoring and exposure to violence from T1 to T5. Results from these analyses revealed: (1) a trajectory of declining parental monitoring for 48% of youth; and (2) four distinct trajectories of exposure to violence. Multivariate findings were largely consistent with the ecological-transactional model of community violence. Youth with stable and/or increasing trajectories of exposure to violence were more likely than youth with stable-low exposure to violence to have declining parental monitoring, but additional analyses revealed a similar pattern of findings for younger adolescents (age 9-11 T1), but no evidence of linkages between trajectories of exposure to violence and parental monitoring for older adolescents (age 12-16 T1). The theoretical and policy implications of these findings as well as areas for future research are also discussed.
利用从生活在极端贫困中的 349 名非裔美国青年中收集的五波纵向数据，研究了青少年时期暴力接触和养育方式之间的相互关系。采用半参数基于群组的建模方法，从 T1 到 T5 确定了父母监督和暴力接触的轨迹。这些分析结果表明：（1）48%的青少年的父母监督呈下降趋势；（2）暴力接触的四个不同轨迹。多变量发现与社区暴力的生态交易模型基本一致。与稳定低暴露于暴力的青少年相比，具有稳定和/或增加的暴力接触轨迹的青少年更有可能出现父母监督下降的情况，但进一步的分析显示，对于年龄较小的青少年（T1 时 9-11 岁）也存在类似的发现模式，但没有证据表明暴力接触轨迹与青少年时期（T1 时 12-16 岁）父母监督之间存在关联。还讨论了这些发现的理论和政策意义以及未来研究的领域。
