研究了与不良同伴、不良信念和不良行为的关联之间相互关系的三种理论模型。社会化模型将犯罪同伴和信念视为犯罪行为之前的因果关系，而选择模型则假设与犯罪同伴和犯罪信念的关联是犯罪行为的结果。交互模型结合了社会化模型和选择模型的各个方面，假设这些变量随着时间的推移相互之间具有双向因果影响。用于检验相互因果关系的数据取自罗彻斯特青年发展研究的三波。结果表明简单的单向模型是不够的。与有不良行为的同伴交往会通过同伴网络的强化环境导致不良行为的增加。反过来，参与犯罪行为会导致与犯罪同龄人的交往增加。最后，不良信念对同伴和行为产生滞后影响，这反过来又会“强化”不良信念的形成。
Three theoretical models of the interrelations among associations with delinquent peers, delinquent beliefs, and delinquent behavior are examined. The socialization model views delinquent peers and beliefs as causally prior to delinquent behavior, whereas the selection model hypothesizes that associations with delinquent peers and delinquent beliefs are a result of delinquent behavior. The interactional model combines aspects of both the socialization and the selection models, positing that these variables have bidirectional causal influences on one another over time. Data to test for reciprocal causality are drawn from three waves of the Rochester Youth Development Study. Results suggest that simple unidirectional models are inadequate. Associating with delinquent peers leads to increases in delinquency via the reinforcing environment of the peer network. Engaging in delinquency, in turn, leads to increases in associations with delinquent peers. Finally, delinquent beliefs exert lagged effects on peers and behavior, which tend in turn to “harden” the formation of delinquent beliefs.
