This study compared the family environments of adolescent sex offenders and violent and nonviolent juvenile delinquents with a normative sample of adolescents. Differences between the juvenile delinquents and the normative sample were found on six of the ten subscales of the Family Environment Scale (i.e., cohesion, expressiveness, independence, intellectual-cultural orientation, active-recreational orientation, and control). No differences were found on four variables (i.e., conflict, achievement orientation, moral-religious emphasis, and organization). No differences were found among the three categories of juvenile delinquents. Implications of the findings for clinical intervention and further research are offered.
本研究将青少年性犯罪者、暴力和非暴力青少年罪犯的家庭环境与青少年正常样本进行了比较。在家庭环境量表的十个分量表中的六个分量表(即亲密度、情感表达、独立性、智力文化取向、积极娱乐取向和控制性)上,发现青少年罪犯与正常样本之间存在差异。在四个变量(即冲突、成就取向、道德宗教强调和组织性)上未发现差异。在三类青少年罪犯之间未发现差异。文中还给出了研究结果对临床干预和进一步研究的启示。
