Antisocial behavior typically increases during early adolescence, but the possibility of seasonal variation has not been examined. In this study, trajectories of antisocial behavior were estimated for early adolescent boys and girls. Data were obtained from a 3-year longitudinal study of 11 middle schools in the western U.S. ( = 5,742), with assessments completed four times per academic year. Antisocial behavior increased steadily throughout 6 grade, but beginning in 7 grade for boys and 8 grade for girls, it declined during the school year. Significant increases between grades 6-7 and 7-8 were found for both genders. Trajectories varied by contextual and individual-level social victimization and gender. Implications for theoretical development and future studies are discussed.
反社会行为通常在青春期早期会增加，但季节性变化的可能性尚未得到研究。在这项研究中，对青春期早期的男孩和女孩的反社会行为轨迹进行了估计。数据来自美国西部11所中学的一项为期3年的纵向研究（n = 5742），每学年完成四次评估。反社会行为在整个六年级稳步增加，但从七年级的男孩和八年级的女孩开始，在学年期间有所下降。在六年级至七年级和七年级至八年级之间，两性均出现了显著增加。轨迹因情境和个人层面的社会受害情况以及性别而异。讨论了对理论发展和未来研究的启示。
