On the basis of longitudinal data collected over 6 years, the changes in delinquent behavior and the related sociodemographic, personal, and family determinants were examined in this study. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, INTERVENTIONS, AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A 6-year longitudinal research design was used. Students responded to a questionnaire containing sociodemographic questions and validated measures of positive youth development, family functioning, and delinquent behavior.
There was an increasing trend of delinquent behavior with the growth rate slowing down over the high school years. Male adolescents reported higher levels of delinquent behavior and showed a greater increase of delinquent behavior relative to female adolescents. Although positive youth development and family functioning were negatively associated with the initial level of delinquent behavior, they were positively associated with the growth rate of delinquent behavior over time.
Delinquent behavior could be described by a quadratic growth curve during high school years. Gender, positive youth development, and family functioning influence the level and developmental trajectory of delinquent behavior in adolescence.
基于6年收集的纵向数据，本研究考察了青少年犯罪行为的变化以及相关的社会人口学、个人和家庭决定因素。
设计、背景、参与者、干预措施及主要结局指标：采用6年纵向研究设计。学生们回答了一份包含社会人口学问题以及经过验证的青少年积极发展、家庭功能和犯罪行为测量指标的问卷。
在高中阶段，犯罪行为呈上升趋势，但增长率逐渐放缓。男性青少年报告的犯罪行为水平更高，相对于女性青少年，其犯罪行为的增幅更大。尽管青少年积极发展和家庭功能与犯罪行为的初始水平呈负相关，但随着时间的推移，它们与犯罪行为的增长率呈正相关。
高中阶段的犯罪行为可用二次增长曲线来描述。性别、青少年积极发展和家庭功能会影响青少年犯罪行为的水平和发展轨迹。
