Growing evidence reveals heterogeneity in antisocial behavior and urges the need to distinguish between aggressive and nonaggressive rule-breaking behaviors. This study characterized how aggression and rule-breaking behaviors shaped peer selection and influence. Using a longitudinal social network modeling approach, these questions were addressed in a sample of 1034 ethno-racially diverse early adolescents (49.52% females, Mage = 12.1), who were assessed in fall and spring of the same year. The results showed no evidence of peer selection on aggressive and rule-breaking behaviors, and significant peer influence on aggressive behavior only. Rule-breaking also forecasted a decreased susceptibility to peer influence on aggressive behavior. The findings expanded our knowledge about complex pathways through which heterogeneity in antisocial behavior is reciprocally related to friendship networks.
越来越多的证据表明反社会行为存在异质性，并促使人们需要区分攻击性行为和非攻击性行为的违规行为。本研究描述了攻击和违规行为如何塑造同伴选择和影响。本研究采用纵向社会网络建模方法，对 1034 名不同种族的早期青少年（49.52%为女性，Mage=12.1）进行了研究，这些青少年在同年秋季和春季接受了评估。结果表明，同伴对攻击和违规行为没有选择的证据，只有攻击行为存在显著的同伴影响。违规行为也预示着对攻击行为的同伴影响的敏感性降低。这些发现扩展了我们对反社会行为异质性通过复杂途径相互关联于友谊网络的认识。
