Youth reporting independently elevated levels of religiosity and self-efficacy tend to abstain from externalizing behavior. However, little is known about the ways in which religiosity and self-efficacy interrelate to impact youth externalizing. Drawing from a sample of African American youth from public housing communities (N = 236), we use latent profile analysis to identify subtypes of youth based on self-reported religiosity and self-efficacy and, in turn, examine links with crime. Compared to youth in other subgroups, those classified as both highly religious and highly self-efficacious reported less involvement in minor and severe delinquency, but not violence.
报告显示，宗教信仰和自我效能感水平较高的青少年往往会避免外化行为。然而，对于宗教信仰和自我效能感如何相互关联以影响青少年外化行为，我们知之甚少。我们从公共住房社区的非裔美国青少年样本（N = 236）中，运用潜在剖面分析，根据青少年自我报告的宗教信仰和自我效能感来识别青少年亚型，进而研究与犯罪的关联。与其他亚组的青少年相比，那些被归类为宗教信仰程度高且自我效能感强的青少年，参与轻微和严重犯罪行为的程度较低，但暴力行为除外。
