This study aims to assess the pathway relationships between adolescent adversities, adult addictive behaviours, divorce, conviction, long-standing unemployment, disability, and homelessness. A structural equation model was estimated using data on n = 677 homeless men and n = 651 housed men of the same age and educational distribution, living in Warsaw, Poland. Retrospective adolescent adversities were found to be significantly related to the occurrence of adult homelessness (p ≤ .01). This relationship was mainly indirect and largely mediated by addictive behaviours, divorce, conviction, and unemployment. Addiction, divorce, and conviction were the three most frequent events preceding homelessness and were likely to coincide. The first job experience did not differentiate the two groups from each other. However, homeless individuals were more likely to currently prefer self-employment over wage employment. Low perceived importance of family life and preference for self-employment over wage employment were hypothesised to be related to the severity of homelessness.
本研究旨在评估青少年逆境、成年成瘾行为、离婚、定罪、长期失业、残疾和无家可归之间的路径关系。使用波兰华沙年龄和教育分布相同的 n = 677 名无家可归男性和 n = 651 名有房男性的数据，估计了结构方程模型。青少年时期的逆境与成年后无家可归的发生显著相关（p ≤ .01）。这种关系主要是间接的，主要由成瘾行为、离婚、定罪和失业所介导。成瘾、离婚和定罪是导致无家可归的三个最常见的事件，且很可能同时发生。第一份工作经历并不能将这两组人区分开来。然而，无家可归者更倾向于选择自营职业而不是受薪就业。人们假设，对家庭生活的重视程度低和选择自营职业而不是受薪就业与无家可归的严重程度有关。
