SES-0213319Scott J. SouthState University of New York at AlbanyResidential Mobility and Adolescent Risk BehaviorThis research seeks to explain why a family's residential mobility tends to have a negative impact on their adolescent children. Changing schools is correlated with a variety of risky adolescent behaviors and negative outcomes such as delinquency, sexual activity, suicide, and poor academic achievement. This study attempts to identify the mechanisms that explain these outcomes. Peer social networks may be especially important since low status, often deviant, peer groups may be more receptive to new, entering students. The analysis will use new longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) that include measures of both outcomes and peer networks. The project holds promise for developing theories of social control and social networks, and for informing parents and school officials as they deal with the stresses experienced by adolescents when they move to new communities and schools.

[0213319]纽约南部州立大学阿尔巴尼分校的斯科特J.居住流动性和青少年风险行为这项研究试图解释为什么一个家庭的居住流动性往往会对他们的青少年子女产生负面影响。换学校与青少年的各种危险行为和不良后果有关，如犯罪、性行为、自杀和学习成绩差。本研究试图确定解释这些结果的机制。同伴社交网络可能尤其重要，因为地位低、往往离经叛道的同伴群体可能更容易接受新入学的学生。该分析将使用来自国家青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health）的新的纵向数据，包括结果和同伴网络的测量。该项目有望发展社会控制和社会网络理论，并为家长和学校官员提供信息，帮助他们处理青少年在进入新社区和学校时所经历的压力。
