这项研究调查了青春期出现的与性有关的健康差异是否与社会规范和三种主要社会环境中的社会联系有关：家庭、友谊和学校。使用来自全国青少年健康纵向研究（N = 18921）的数据，我们分别评估了男性和女性的社会规范、与父母、朋友和学校的社会联系以及抑郁症状和物质使用之间的联系。此外，我们还考虑了父母、朋友和学校的综合和性别特定的环境。结果表明，社会规范与青少年健康之间的联系在接受者的性别中是稳定的，但在提供者的性别中有所不同，而社会关系与青少年健康之间的联系在提供者和接受者的性别中都有所不同。来自母亲和女同学的社会规范（而不是来自父亲或男同学）与男性和女性的物质使用都有关。相比之下，与父亲的联系是男性抑郁症状的保护因素，而与女性朋友的联系是女性抑郁症状的危险因素。这些发现扩展了研究青少年心理和行为健康性别差异的文献，确定了多种社会环境的重要影响，揭示了这些环境中性别特定的社会规范和社会联系发挥着突出作用，并确定了几个预防工作领域，特别是(a)母亲和女同学的社会规范减少物质使用，(b)父亲的联系减少男性抑郁症状，(c)女性友谊中的连通性对女性青少年的心理健康构成风险。
This study examined whether sex-related health disparities that emerge during adolescence are linked to social norms and social connections within three primary social contexts: families, friendships, and schools. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 18,921), we assessed links between social norms and social connections with parents, friends, and schools and depressive symptoms and substance use separately for males and females. In addition, we considered parents, friends, and schools as both combined and sex-specific contexts. Results suggested that links between social norms and adolescent health were stable across the sex of the recipient but varied by sex of the provider, whereas links between social connections and adolescent health varied across the sex of both provider and recipient. Social norms from mothers and female schoolmates (but not from fathers or male schoolmates) were associated with both male and female substance use. In contrast, connectedness with fathers served as a protective factor for male depressive symptoms, whereas connectedness with female friends was a risk factor for female depressive symptoms. These findings extend the literature investigating sex disparities in adolescent mental and behavioral health by locating significant influences from multiple social contexts, revealing sex-specific social norms and social connections within these contexts as playing a salient role, and identifying several areas for preventative efforts, specifically (a) maternal and female schoolmate social norms in reducing substance use, (b) paternal connectedness in reducing male depressive symptoms, and (c) connectedness within female friendships as a risk for female adolescents’ mental health.
