发育不成熟（DI）可能有助于解释少年司法系统中女孩学业成绩方面的一些差异，这些女孩逃学、辍学和学业失败的比例很高。这项研究考察了该人群的决策和 DI 的独立功能部分、语言智力和学业成绩之间的关系。利用来自少年司法机构中 60 名女孩的数据，多元回归分析表明，言语智商调节了决策的 DI 结构与学业成绩之间的关系。自我报告的学校出勤率和之前被捕的次数并没有显着调节 DI 和学业成绩之间的关系。这些结果可能表明，DI 的决策因素可能特别重要，如果结果得到重复，未来的干预工作可能会更多地侧重于提高少年司法人群的这项技能。此外，完整 DI 结构的总体重要性是未来研究的一个重要领域。
Developmental immaturity (DI) may help explain some of the variability in aspects of academic achievement among girls in the juvenile justice system, a population with high rates of truancy, dropout, and school failure. This study examined the relationships among the decision making and independent functioning components of DI, verbal intelligence, and academic achievement within this population. Using data from 60 girls in residential juvenile justice facilities, multiple regression analyses indicated that verbal IQ moderated the relationship between the DI construct of decision making and academic achievement. Self-reported school attendance and number of previous arrests did not significantly mediate the relationship between DI and academic achievement. These results may indicate that the decision-making factor of DI may be particularly important, and, if results are replicated, future intervention efforts could focus more on improving this skill within this juvenile justice population. Additionally, the overall importance of the full DI construct is an important area of future study.
