对来自传统家庭和非传统家庭的青少年(N=198)进行了长达18年的纵向抽样，研究了家庭和同伴经验在预测青少年问题行为方面的相互关系。儿童早期预测因子与青少年问题行为之间的正相关与问题行为理论相一致。青少年吸毒和犯罪行为的最有力预测因素是同龄人的相似行为。然而，同伴行为反过来又被早期的家庭相关变量和童年时期的同伴关系质量所预测。这项研究提供了支持证据，表明青春期强烈的同伴效应反映了儿童时期更早的过程，并强调了家庭和同伴环境中的早期儿童经历与青春期问题行为发展的联系的重要性。对预防和干预计划的含义进行了讨论。
The interrelationship of family and peer experiences in predicting adolescent problem behaviors was examined in an 18-year longitudinal sample of adolescents (N = 198) from conventional and nonconventional families. Positive associations among early childhood predictors and adolescent problem behaviors were consistent with problem behavior theory. The most powerful predictors of teen drug use and delinquent behaviors were similar behaviors by peers. Peer behaviors, however, were in turn predicted by earlier family-related variables and the quality of peer relationships in childhood. This study provides supporting evidence that strong peer effects in adolescence reflect even earlier processes in childhood and highlight the importance of linkages from early childhood experiences in family and peer contexts to the development of problem behaviors in adolescence. Implications for prevention and intervention programs are discussed.
