以前的研究已经确定同伴挑衅是青年人面临的一种具有挑战性的情况。本研究建立在先前的同伴挑衅评估方法的基础上,通过(a)增加小插曲的背景细节;(B)开发一个可靠的描述性编码系统,描述青年对身体、语言和关系挑衅的反应范围;以及(c)评估这些情况对12至14岁种族多样、经济弱势青年样本(N = 76)的相关性。这些小插曲被用来研究青年对挑衅的反应的情况特异性。情境和攻击者身份对青少年的反应有预测作用。例如,参与者将身体攻击与身体挑衅“匹配”。这些研究结果是一致的,与以往的研究表明,社会信息处理的情况特异性,即使在相对同质的类别的同伴挑衅。
Previous studies have identified peer provocation as a challenging class of situations for youth. The work presented here builds on previous methods of assessing peer provocation by (a) increasing the contextual detail of the vignettes; (b) developing a reliable, descriptive coding system of the range of youth responses to physical, verbal, and relational provocation; and (c) assessing the relevance of these situations for a sample (N = 76) of ethnically diverse, economically disadvantaged youth ages 12 to 14. The vignettes were used to examine the situation specificity of youth responses to provocation. Situation and identity of aggressor were both predictors of youth responses. For example, participants "matched" physical aggression to physical provocation. These findings are consistent with previous studies demonstrating the situation specificity of social information processing, even within the relatively homogeneous category of peer provocations.
