This study examines the relationship between family characteristics and adolescent deviant behaviors such as major and minor delinquency, and alcohol, cigarette, and drug use, while controlling for gender and race/ethnicity. The intervening factor of the socialization of law-abiding belief was also examined. Data represent a subsample from Wave 1 of the South Florida Youth Development Project involving middle school students in Dade County public schools. A significant direct relationship was found between family attachment and each of the deviant behaviors; however, family structure was not significantly related to any of the deviant behaviors. No significant interactions were found between gender or race with family structure and family attachment regarding any of the deviant behaviors. Family attachment had a direct effect on law-abiding belief, which also had a significant effect on the deviant behaviors.
本研究考察了家庭特征与青少年越轨行为（如严重和轻微犯罪、酗酒、吸烟及吸毒）之间的关系，同时控制了性别和种族/民族因素。还考察了守法信念社会化这一干预因素。数据来自南佛罗里达青少年发展项目第一波的一个子样本，该项目涉及戴德县公立学校的中学生。研究发现家庭依恋与每一种越轨行为之间都存在显著的直接关系；然而，家庭结构与任何一种越轨行为均无显著关联。在任何一种越轨行为方面，未发现性别或种族与家庭结构及家庭依恋之间存在显著交互作用。家庭依恋对守法信念有直接影响，而守法信念对越轨行为也有显著影响。
