本研究旨在探讨与越轨同伴的友谊除了与青少年的行为适应问题相关外，是否也与青少年的情绪适应负相关。研究人员对350名青少年进行了比较，这些青少年要么没有共同的朋友，要么没有不正常的朋友，要么有不正常的朋友，他们在13岁时的犯罪行为、抑郁和孤独程度进行了比较。不出所料，有不正常朋友的青少年比其他两组更有犯罪倾向。此外，有不正常朋友的青少年表现出与没有朋友的青少年相似的抑郁问题水平，但他们比没有朋友的青少年更孤独。研究结果还探讨了与越轨朋友交往与青少年行为和情绪调节之间关系的可能机制。
This study investigated whether friendships with deviant peers, in addition to being related to adolescents' behavioral adjustment problems, would also be negatively related to adolescents' emotional adjustment. Three hundred five adolescents who had either no mutual friends, nondeviant friends, or deviant friends were compared, with respect to their levels of delinquent behavior, depression, and loneliness at age 13. As expected, adolescents with deviant friends were more delinquent than the other 2 groups. In addition, adolescents with deviant friends showed similarly problematic levels of depression as friendless youth, but they were less lonely than the latter. The results are discussed in terms of the possible mechanisms underlying the relation between the association with deviant friends and adolescents' behavioral and emotional adjustment.
