本研究以青少年为样本，研究了青少年及其父母的社会问题解决能力与攻击性和违法性的关系。117名高中生、83名母亲和73名父亲完成了修订后的社会问题解决问卷，该问卷测量了5个不同的问题解决维度和几个不同的青少年外化行为测量。青少年的问题解决能力显著低于父母，且与母亲的问题解决能力显著相关，而与父亲的问题解决能力不相关。青少年问题解决的三个维度被发现与攻击性和/或犯罪有关。其他结果表明，同样的维度也可能与物质使用和高风险汽车驾驶有关。父母的问题解决与青少年外化问题的相关最小。即使在控制了母亲的问题解决能力之后，青少年的问题解决能力在大多数外化测量中也解释了显着的差异。对青少年行为问题的治疗和预防的意义进行了讨论。
This study focused on the relations between the social problem-solving abilities of adolescents and their parents and aggression and delinquency in an adolescent sample. One hundred and seventeen high school students, 83 of their mothers, and 73 of their fathers completed the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised, which measures 5 different problem-solving dimensions and several different measures of adolescent externalizing behaviors. Adolescents' problem-solving ability was found to be significantly lower than that of their parents and significantly correlated with their mothers' but not their fathers' problem-solving ability. Three adolescent problem-solving dimensions were found to be related to aggression and/or delinquency. Other results suggested that the same dimensions might also be linked to substance use and high-risk automobile driving. Parents' problem solving was minimally related to adolescent externalizing problems. Adolescents' problem-solving ability accounted for a significant amount of variance in most externalizing measures even after controlling for mothers' problem-solving ability. Implications for treatment and prevention of adolescent behavioral problems are discussed.
