The purpose of this study was to identify subgroups of adolescents with distinct perceptions of parental messages supporting fighting and nonviolence. Latent class analysis identified four subgroups among 2,619 urban middle school students (90% African American; 52% female): messages supporting fighting (32%), messages supporting nonviolence (29%), mixed messages (23%), and no messages (16%). We found significant differences across subgroups in their frequency of physical aggression and peer victimization and beliefs about the use of aggressive and nonviolent responses to peer provocation. Beliefs significantly mediated the relation between parental messages subgroups and both aggression and victimization. Findings illustrate the heterogeneity in the messages urban adolescents perceive from their parents, as well as relations with adolescents' beliefs and behavior.
本研究的目的是识别对支持打架和非暴力的父母信息有不同认知的青少年亚组。潜在类别分析在2619名城市中学生(90%为非裔美国人;52%为女性)中识别出四个亚组:支持打架的信息(32%)、支持非暴力的信息(29%)、混合信息(23%)和无信息(16%)。我们发现各亚组在身体攻击频率、同伴受害情况以及对同伴挑衅采取攻击性和非暴力反应的信念方面存在显著差异。信念显著介导了父母信息亚组与攻击行为和受害情况之间的关系。研究结果表明城市青少年从父母那里接收到的信息存在异质性,以及这些信息与青少年信念和行为之间的关系。
