这项研究利用居住在纽约布朗克斯区的波多黎各青少年的纵向样本，探讨了遭受性别暴力的预测因素。一系列负二项回归的结果表明，(a) 感觉寻求、同伴犯罪、强制纪律和初次犯罪增加了男性和女性在多个时间点遭受暴力的可能性；(b) 初次犯罪是在所有时间点遭受暴力的唯一一致预测因素。关于性别的作用，结果表明，一些风险因素在不同性别之间是相似的（例如，寻求感觉、强制纪律、同伴犯罪和违法行为），而其他风险因素在不同性别之间有所不同（例如，男性的年龄和福利以及女性的学校环境）。讨论了研究的局限性和影响。
Using a longitudinal sample of Puerto Rican adolescents living in the Bronx, New York, this study examines the predictors of exposure to violence within gender. Results from a series of negative binomial regressions suggested (a) sensation seeking, peer delinquency, coercive discipline, and initial delinquency increased the likelihood of exposure to violence for both males and females at multiple time points and (b) initial delinquency was the only consistent predictor of exposure to violence at all time points. Regarding the role of gender, the results indicated that some risk factors were similar across genders (e.g., sensation seeking, coercive discipline, peer delinquency, and delinquent behavior), whereas other risk factors differed across gender (e.g., age and welfare among males and school environment for females). Study limitations and implications are discussed.
