这项 5 波纵向研究纳入了 1,313 名荷兰青少年，研究了同伴群体认同的发展与问题行为变化的关系。来自两个年龄组的青少年每年报告他们对 7 个同龄群体的认同以及他们内化和外化问题行为的水平。单变量潜在增长曲线分析显示，对非常规人群的认同度下降（即“嘻哈者”和“金属头”）或下降后稳定（即“非传统主义者”），而对传统人群的认同度则上升（即“精英”和“大脑”）或先下降后稳定（即“正常人”和“运动员”）。多变量潜在增长曲线分析表明，对非传统人群更强、更持久的认同通常与整个青春期更多的问题行为有关。相比之下，对传统人群更强烈、更持久的认同通常与整个青春期较少的问题行为有关，但大脑是一个明显的例外，他表现出混合模式。尽管外化问题较少，但该群体确实报告了更多的焦虑问题。讨论了这些发现及其影响。
This 5-wave longitudinal study, which included 1,313 Dutch adolescents, examined the development of peer crowd identification in relation to changes in problem behaviors. Adolescents from 2 age cohorts annually reported their identification with 7 peer crowds and their levels of internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors. Univariate latent growth curve analyses revealed declines (i.e., "Hip Hoppers" and "Metal Heads") or declines followed by stabilization (i.e., "Nonconformists") in identification with nonconventional crowds and increases (i.e., "Elites" and "Brains") or declines followed by stabilization (i.e., "Normals" and "Jocks") in identification with conventional crowds. Multivariate latent growth curve analyses indicated that stronger and more persistent identifications with nonconventional crowds were generally associated with more problem behaviors throughout adolescence. In contrast, stronger and more persistent identifications with conventional crowds were generally associated with fewer problem behaviors throughout adolescence with the notable exception of Brains, who showed a mixed pattern. Though characterized by fewer externalizing problems, this group did report more anxiety problems. These findings and their implications are discussed.
