本研究建议将同伴关系纳入青少年问题行为的生活史视角。纵向分析被用来检验异常同伴聚集作为青春期早期家庭关系减弱、同伴边缘化和社会劣势以及青春期中期性乱和成年早期生育之间的中介联系。具体而言，998 名青少年及其家人在 11 岁时接受了评估，并在 24 岁之前定期接受评估。结构方程模型显示，同伴增强的生活史模型与纵向数据非常吻合，异常的同伴聚类强烈预测青少年性乱交和其他相关问题行为。正如预期的那样，性乱也强烈预测了 22-24 岁儿童的数量。与生活史的观点一致，在控制模型中的所有其他变量的情况下，家庭社会劣势直接预测了成年早期的异常同伴聚集和儿童数量。这些数据表明，异常同伴聚类是快速生活史策略的核心维度，与性活动和生育有密切联系。这些发现的含义是关于在发展和干预科学中整合基于进化的自组织同伴群体模型的需要进行讨论的。
This study proposes the inclusion of peer relationships in a life history perspective on adolescent problem behavior. Longitudinal analyses were used to examine deviant peer clustering as the mediating link between attenuated family ties, peer marginalization, and social disadvantage in early adolescence and sexual promiscuity in middle adolescence and childbearing by early adulthood. Specifically, 998 youth and their families were assessed at age 11 years and periodically through age 24 years. Structural equation modeling revealed that the peer-enhanced life history model provided a good fit to the longitudinal data, with deviant peer clustering strongly predicting adolescent sexual promiscuity and other correlated problem behaviors. Sexual promiscuity, as expected, also strongly predicted the number of children by age 22–24 years. Consistent with a life history perspective, family social disadvantage directly predicted deviant peer clustering and number of children in early adulthood, controlling for all other variables in the model. These data suggest that deviant peer clustering is a core dimension of a fast life history strategy, with strong links to sexual activity and childbearing. The implications of these findings are discussed with respect to the need to integrate an evolutionary-based model of self-organized peer groups in developmental and intervention science.
