青少年的攻击性和犯罪行为阻碍了他们在成年初期的健康调整，并可能对少数群体青年造成特别严重的长期后果。因此，预防研究应该在新移民样本的社会文化框架内检查这些行为，以确定适应美国生活是否以及如何影响这些行为。本研究探讨了两个社会文化变量的作用，双文化压力和负的接待环境的变化，在侵略和规则打破行为在两个时间点之间最近移民的西班牙裔青少年居住在洛杉矶（N = 136）和迈阿密-戴德县（N = 142）。线性逐步回归模型被用来评估预测因素和行为结果之间的关联。双文化压力和负面的接待环境都有独立的协会，以上和超越父母的参与和犯罪的同伴协会，在高中第一年的侵略性和违规行为的变化。这些研究结果表明，社会，文化和人际关系的过程都影响越轨行为在最近的移民西班牙裔人口。我们讨论了这些发现对预防和干预研究和实践的影响。我们还建议未来的研究继续研究这些因素在青春期的作用，并在为西班牙裔移民群体设计行为干预措施时考虑社会文化的影响
Adolescent aggression and delinquency impede healthy adjustment in early adulthood and may have particularly serious long-term consequences for minority youth. Therefore, prevention research should examine these behaviors within a sociocultural framework among newer immigrant samples to determine whether, and how, adaptation to life in the US affects these behaviors. This study investigated the role of two sociocultural variables-bicultural stress and negative context of reception-on changes in aggression and rule breaking behaviors over two time points among recently immigrated Hispanic adolescents residing in Los Angeles (N = 136) and Miami-Dade (N = 142) counties. Linear stepwise regression models were used to assess the associations between predictors and behavioral outcomes. Bicultural stress and negative context of reception both had independent associations, above and beyond parental involvement and delinquent peer associations, with changes in aggressive and rule-breaking behavior during the first year of high school. These findings suggest that social, cultural, and interpersonal processes all influence deviant behaviors in recent-immigrant Hispanic populations. We discuss the implications of these finding for prevention and intervention research and practice. We also recommend that future research continue to examine the role of these factors over the course of adolescence and consider sociocultural influences when designing behavioral interventions for Hispanic immigrant populations
