遭受社区暴力的青少年有可能遭受一些不良后果，这些后果可能持续到成年。社区暴力暴露一直与随后的攻击性行为有关，关于攻击性的信念或规范是这种关系的一个潜在机制。本综述的目的是检查和综合文献有关的信念作为中介的社区暴力暴露和青少年的攻击行为之间的关系的侵略。系统性文献检索确定了10项符合纳入标准的研究。跨研究的结果普遍支持这样的观点，即关于攻击的信念介导了社区暴力暴露和攻击行为之间的关系。然而，研究在设计和分析方法上存在很大差异，这限制了可以得出的结论。由于研究的局限性相似，因此确定了几个主题并进行了定性描述：研究中介的设计不当（即，未能建立变量的时间优先性）;检查关于攻击的一般信念的一维结构;缺乏检查亚组之间的潜在差异，特别是性别之间的差异。对未来研究的建议将加强证据，包括利用数据分析技术的进步，调查关于侵略的信念的多个方面，检查跨亚组的介导效应的差异，并调查信念作为干预研究中的变化机制。暴力预防工作的影响进行了讨论。
Adolescents who are exposed to community violence are at risk for a number of adverse consequences that can persist into adulthood. Community violence exposure has consistently been associated with subsequent aggressive behavior, and beliefs or norms about aggression are one potential mechanism underlying this relation. The goal of this review was to examine and synthesize the literature regarding beliefs about aggression as a mediator of relations between community violence exposure and aggressive behavior among adolescents. A systematic search of the literature identified 10 studies that met inclusion criteria. Findings across studies generally supported the notion that beliefs about aggression mediate relations between community violence exposure and aggressive behavior. However, studies varied considerably in their design and analytic approach which limited conclusions that can be drawn. Because studies were similar in their limitations, several themes were identified and described qualitatively: inappropriate design to examine mediation (i.e., failure to establish temporal precedence of variables); examining a unidimensional construct of general beliefs about aggression; and lack of examining potential differences across subgroups, particularly across sex. Recommendations for future research that will bolster the evidence include drawing on advances in data analytic techniques, investigating multiple aspects of beliefs about aggression, examining differences in mediated effects across subgroups, and investigating beliefs as mechanisms of change in intervention studies. Implications for violence prevention efforts are discussed.
