在一项对191名儿童的纵向研究中，研究了儿童（8-12岁）到青少年后期（17-23岁）能力的结构和连贯性。结构方程模型被用来测试的概念模型和替代模型。结果表明，能力在儿童期至少有3个不同的维度，在青少年期至少有5个维度。这些维度反映了与美国社会两个年龄层次的学业成就、社会能力和行为重要性相关的发展任务，以及青春期浪漫和工作能力的额外任务。正如假设的那样，随着时间的推移，违规行为与遵守规则的行为表现出很强的连续性，而学业成绩和社会能力则表现出中等的连续性。研究结果也与反社会行为破坏学业成就和工作能力的假设一致。
The structure and coherence of competence from childhood (ages 8-12) to late adolescence (ages 17-23) was examined in a longitudinal study of 191 children. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test a conceptual model and alternative models. Results suggest that competence has at least 3 distinct dimensions in childhood and 5 in adolescence. These dimensions reflect developmental tasks related to academic achievement, social competence, and conduct important at both age levels in U.S. society, and the additional tasks of romantic and job competence in adolescence. As hypothesized, rule-breaking versus rule-abiding conduct showed strong continuity over time, while academic achievement and social competence showed moderate continuity. Results also were consistent with the hypothesis that antisocial behavior undermines academic attainment and job competence.
