本研究考察了中学三个年级学生的受害行为和问题行为的发展轨迹。参与者是来自美国三所城市中学的2166名青少年,他们完成了受害、身体和关系攻击、药物使用和犯罪行为的测量。潜伏期曲线分析模拟了每3个月收集的12个波中每个结构的变化。在每种情况下,最佳拟合模型都需要单独的线性坡度来表示每个等级内的变化,并需要一个系数来表示夏季的减少。截距、线性斜率和波内测量之间存在正的交叉结构相关性。研究结果表明,受害和问题行为之间存在很强的相关性,而且在年级内和年级之间,他们的变化模式都存在个体差异。
This study examined trajectories of victimization and problem behaviors within and across three grades of middle school. Participants were 2,166 adolescents from three urban middle schools in the United States who completed measures of victimization, physical and relational aggression, substance use, and delinquent behavior. Latent curve analyses modeled changes in each construct across 12 waves collected every 3 months. In each case, the best-fitting model required separate linear slopes to represent changes within each grade and a factor representing decreases in the summers. Positive cross-construct correlations were found for intercepts, linear slopes, and measures within waves. The findings suggest strong associations among victimization and problem behaviors, and individual differences in their patterns of change both within and across grades.
