根据以前的研究，众所周知，青少年对自己未来的想法和感受与犯罪、饮酒和健康的风险有关。然而，其他众所周知的事实是，青少年的行为在很大程度上是在与同龄人的互动中形成的，在青春期，个人在学校花了相当长的时间与同学互动。尽管如此，几乎完全没有研究探讨学校气氛在多大程度上可以影响青少年个体，这种气氛是通过对未来的想法和感受来衡量的。目前的研究的目的是调查是否未来的方向（FO）的气候，在学校班级的水平，是与犯罪，酒精使用和内化的问题，在个人层面上，瑞典学生的样本14-15岁。使用的数据来自欧洲青年的瑞典部分（是的！）该研究是更大的项目“移民子女-欧洲四国纵向调查”（CILS 4 EU）的一部分。在本文中，我们使用的数据从第一波，收集了8年级学生在2010/11（n = 4119-4364）。所使用的方法是多层次建模（线性概率模型（LPM）和线性回归分析）。结果表明，在学校班级中，高比例的学生具有积极的未来取向，在个人层面上重度饮酒的风险较低，在调整个人FO以及个人和班级社会经济条件后也是如此。在少年犯罪方面也发现了类似的趋势，但在统计上并不显著。此外，在控制了个人和学校班级层面的个人FO和社会经济条件后，在学校班级中具有高比例的积极FO的学生与较少的内化问题相关。我们的结论是，周围的学校类，在其一般的未来取向的气候，可能会发挥作用的个人结果的形式的问题行为和心理健康。(C)2016年6月，作者。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
It is well known, based on previous research, that adolescents' thoughts and feelings about their future are related to the risk of delinquency, alcohol use as well as health. However, other well-known facts are that adolescents' actions are substantially shaped in interaction with peers and that, during adolescence, individuals spend a considerable amount of the day at school, in interaction with classmates. Despite this, there is an almost complete lack of studies exploring to what extent the school climate, as measured by thoughts and feelings about the future, can influence individual adolescents. The aim of the current study is to investigate whether the future orientation (FO) climate, measured at the school class level, is related to delinquency, alcohol use and internalizing problems at the individual level, among a sample of Swedish students 14-15 years of age. The data used come from the Swedish part of the Youth in Europe (YES!) study, which is part of the larger project Children of Immigrants - Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU). In the present paper, we use data from the first wave, collected among 8th grade students in 2010/11 (n = 4119-4364). The method used was multilevel modeling (linear probability models (LPM) and linear regression analysis). The results showed that, in school classes where a high proportion of students'had a positive future orientation, the risk of heavy alcohol use at the individual level was lower, also after adjusting for individual FO and for individual- and class-level socioeconomic conditions. A similar, but not statistically significant, tendency was found for delinquency. In addition, having a high proportion of students with a positive FO in a school class was associated with fewer internalizing problems, also after controlling for individual FO and socioeconomic conditions at the individual and school class level. We conclude that the surrounding school class, in terms of its general future orientation climate, may play a role for individual outcomes in the form of problem behaviors and mental health.
