儿童行为问题已被确定为对1至19岁儿童生活质量下降最大的原因。在这项研究中，我们研究是否邻里的社会进程与儿童行为问题的差异在经济和种族多样化的样本405城市居住的一年级儿童和父母的行为是否介导和/或缓和的影响的邻里。此外，我们研究是否邻里社会过程中发挥同样的作用，在不同程度的邻里经济贫困的儿童行为问题。多元多水平回归分析的结果表明，一个高负面的社会气候与更大的内化问题。社区儿童参与社区活动的高潜力与较少的行为问题有关，但仅限于经济贫困的社区。教养行为的差异似乎并没有调解行为问题的邻里效应，和教养的特点是高度的积极参与，在所有类型的社区与较少的行为问题。
Child behavior problems have been identified as being responsible for the greatest reduction in quality of life for children between ages 1 and 19. In this study, we examine whether neighborhood social processes are associated with differences in child behavior problems in an economically and racially diverse sample of 405 urban-dwelling first grade children and whether parenting behavior mediates and/or moderates the effects of neighborhoods. Furthermore, we examine whether neighborhood social processes play the same role with regards to child behavior problems at differing levels of neighborhood economic impoverishment. Results of multivariate multilevel regression analyses indicate that a high negative social climate is associated with greater internalizing problems. High potential for community involvement for children in the neighborhood was associated with fewer behavior problems, but only in economically impoverished neighborhoods. Differences in parenting behavior did not appear to mediate neighborhood effects on behavior problems, and parenting characterized by a high degree of positive involvement was associated with fewer behavior problems in all types of neighborhoods.
