本研究考察了父母的合法性是否在父母教养方式（权威型、专权型、放任型）与青少年参与四种特定领域的违反规则行为（RVB：关系攻击、攻击、盗窃、物质使用）之间的关系中起中介作用。在目前的研究中，共有708名来自新罕布什尔州青年研究项目的中学生接受了每六个月四次的调查。运用广义结构方程模型，研究结果表明，父母合法性在权威型教养方式中起中介作用，但在权威型教养方式和放任型教养方式中不起显著或一致的中介作用。父母合法性在权威型父母教养与攻击、盗窃和关系攻击之间的关系中起完全中介作用，但在与物质使用的关系中仅起部分中介作用。这一发现表明，在某些行为领域，父母的合法性可能比其他领域更重要。此外，当检查RVB随时间的变化和父母合法性作为中介的变化时，这种模式大多持续存在。本文讨论了父母权威的影响，为什么青少年可能会从事某些RVB，以及在法律社会化中如何考虑发展因素。
This study examined whether parental legitimacy served as a mediator in the relation between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) and adolescent engagement in four domain-specific rule-violating behaviors (RVB: relational aggression, assault, theft, substance use). A total of 708 middle school and high school students from the New Hampshire Youth Study were surveyed four times every six months for the current study. Using generalized structural equation modeling, results demonstrated that parental legitimacy was a mediator of authoritative parenting style, but was not a significant or consistent mediator for authoritarian and permissive parenting styles, with RVBs. Parental legitimacy fully mediated the relation between authoritative parenting and assault, theft, and relational aggression, but only partially mediated the relation with substance use. This finding suggests that parental legitimacy might be more important in certain domains of behavior than others. Moveover, this pattern mostly persisted when examining changes in RVB overtime and changes in parental legitimacy as a mediator. The implications of parental authority and why adolescents may engage in certain RVB over others, as well as how developmental factors are accounted for in legal socialization, are discussed.
