Within an integrated conceptual framework made up of social cognitive theory, theory of fundamental causes, and the risk and protective factor approach, we assess reported antisocial behavior and favorable attitudes toward antisocial behavior among youths and parents in a high-school sample after the implementation of a Youth and Family Master Plan in Pomona, California, USA from 2005 to 2009. We perform z tests for same students (8th grade 2005 and 12th grade 2009), same grade (8th,10th, and 12th grade), inter-grade, same year, and overall, 2005 to 2009 comparisons for Pomona, Los Angeles, and US national samples. It was hypothesized that after five years of implementation, Pomona Youth and Family Master Plan (PYFMP) activities will reduce antisocial behavior and favorable parental and youth attitudes toward antisocial behavior. Within a p-value of 05, z-test results show a decline in youth antisocial behavior among youths in the Pomona sample. Patterns in youth antisocial behavior were not consistent with youth favorable attitudes toward antisocial behavior but were consistent with perceived parental favorable attitudes toward antisocial behavior. Though youth favorable attitudes toward antisocial behavior were generally rising within the Pomona data, when compared to the rates of change in Los Angeles and US, Pomona rates of change were lower. Intra and inter jurisdictional patterns above could be attributed to the community multicomponent interventions of the PYFMP. They also align with assumptions and explanations offered in the integrated conceptual framework, which suggest a mediating role for environmental factors.
在一个由社会认知理论、根本原因理论和风险与保护因素方法组成的综合概念框架内,我们评估了美国加利福尼亚州波莫纳市在实施《青年与家庭综合计划》(2005 年至 2009 年)后,高中样本中青少年和家长报告的反社会行为和对反社会行为的有利态度。我们对同一学生(2005 年 8 年级和 2009 年 12 年级)、同一年级(8 年级、10 年级和 12 年级)、年级间、同年和总体(2005 年至 2009 年)进行了 z 检验,对波莫纳、洛杉矶和美国全国样本进行了比较。假设在实施五年后,波莫纳青年与家庭综合计划(PYFMP)活动将减少反社会行为和家长与青年对反社会行为的有利态度。在 0.05 的 p 值内,z 检验结果显示波莫纳样本中青少年的反社会行为有所下降。青少年反社会行为的模式与青少年对反社会行为的有利态度不一致,但与感知到的父母对反社会行为的有利态度一致。尽管在波莫纳的数据中,青少年对反社会行为的有利态度总体上呈上升趋势,但与洛杉矶和美国的变化率相比,波莫纳的变化率较低。这种城乡间模式可能归因于 PYFMP 的社区多组分干预措施。它们也与综合概念框架中提出的假设和解释一致,这表明环境因素在其中起到了中介作用。
