许多研究表明，女孩的青春期提前与犯罪和物质使用等行为问题有关。对这些联系的理论解释往往涉及女孩的同伴关系，但在一些解释中，背景也被认为很重要。通过整合两个理论模型，同伴社会化和语境放大假设，我们提出了一个语境框架来解释女孩青春期提前的时间和外部问题行为之间的联系。我们假设，早期发展的女孩从事不健康的，危险的，和危险的行为的背景条件下，促进访问老年朋友和异性关系。在其他条件下，可能性较小。我们在瑞典进行的两项研究中测试了这一综合假设。第一个是一个横断面研究，在社区样本（N = 284）的学校和空闲时间的朋友的信息。青春期提前与在校外拥有年龄较大、更打破常规的朋友有关，但与学校无关，因此表明学校环境干扰了早期发育的女孩对年龄较大的同龄人的选择。第二项研究涉及纵向（N = 434）和横截面样本的女孩（N = 634），在那里我们研究了休闲环境，是众所周知的吸引犯罪青年。结果表明，青春期提前与女孩的犯罪关系最密切，这些女孩花时间在这方面，并与男孩和同龄人密切相关。总之，两项研究的结果都支持我们的预测，即某些背景会放大同伴社会化效应。总体而言，我们的结论是，综合同伴社会化/上下文放大模型令人满意地解释青春期的时间和外部问题行为之间的联系。
Girls’ early pubertal timing has been linked in many studies to behavioral problems such as delinquency and substance use. The theoretical explanations for these links have often involved the girls’ peer relationships, but contexts have also been considered important in some explanations. By integrating two theoretical models, the peer-socialization and the contextual-amplification hypotheses, we propose a contextual framework for explaining the link between early pubertal timing and external problem behavior in girls. We hypothesize that early developing girls engage in unhealthy, dangerous, and risky behavior under contextual conditions that promote access to older friends and opposite-sex relationships. Under other conditions it is less likely. We tested this integrated hypothesis in two studies conducted in Sweden. The first was a cross-sectional study with information about school and free-time friends in a community sample (N = 284). Early pubertal timing was linked to having older, more normbreaking friends outside of school, but not in school, thus suggesting that the school context interferes early-developing girls’ selection of older peers. The second study involved both a longitudinal (N = 434) and a cross-sectional sample of girls (N = 634), where we examined a leisure setting that is known to attract delinquent youth. Results showed that early pubertal timing was most strongly linked to delinquency for girls who spent time in this context and were heavily involved with boys and peers. In sum, results from both studies supported our predictions that certain contexts would amplify the peer-socialization effect. Overall, we conclude that the integrated peer-socialization/contextual-amplification model satisfactorily explains the link between pubertal timing and external problem behavior.
