We hypothesize that adolescents' exposure to violence and personal victimization will be associated with the frequency with which they engage in fighting behaviors. However, adolescents who are future-oriented and goal-directed and from more secure families are hypothesized to report less fighting behavior.
A cross-sectional, anonymous survey was administered to 225 youths (males = 44%) aged 11-19 years, living in or around nine Housing and Urban Development housing projects in an urban area. The questionnaire contained multiple standardized scales. The dependent variables were the frequency of physical fights, hitting someone with whom the subject lived, and gang fighting during the last year.
Previous exposure to violence and victimization, school grade, and number of sexual partners accounted for 16.2% of the variation in frequency of fighting during the last year (based on multiple regression analysis). Exposure to violence and victimization and a family with an unemployed head of household accounted for 11% of the variation in domestic fighting. Exposure to violence and victimization, hopelessness, and anticipated socioeconomic status accounted for 15% of the variation in the frequency of gang fighting.
These data support the hypothesis that exposure to, and being a victim of, violence is associated with the frequency of fighting by adolescents.
我们假设青少年接触暴力和遭受个人侵害的经历将与他们参与打架行为的频率相关。然而，预计那些有未来导向、目标明确且来自更稳定家庭的青少年报告的打架行为会更少。
对居住在市区九个住房和城市发展住房项目及其周边的225名11至19岁的青少年（男性占44%）进行了一项横断面匿名调查。问卷包含多个标准化量表。因变量是过去一年中身体打架的频率、殴打与自己同住的人以及帮派打架的频率。
过去接触暴力和受侵害的经历、学校成绩以及性伴侣数量占过去一年打架频率变化的16.2%（基于多元回归分析）。接触暴力和受侵害的经历以及户主失业的家庭占家庭内打架行为变化的11%。接触暴力和受侵害的经历、绝望感以及预期的社会经济地位占帮派打架频率变化的15%。
这些数据支持了以下假设，即接触暴力以及成为暴力受害者与青少年打架频率相关。
