More than any group, adolescents have the highest rate of rule-violating behaviors. This research investigates legal socialization, the process by which individuals develop their understanding of society's rules and make decisions about them. Specifically, the procedural justice legal socialization model predicts that fair treatment by authority figures leads adolescents to view them as more legitimate and, in turn, more likely to obey. Previously, legitimacy has been examined as a composite of trust and an obligation to obey. The current research examines trust and obligation as separate components. Furthermore, although adolescents' perceptions of authority figures' right to make rules has been supported as another important legitimacy factor, it has not been examined in the procedural justice model. This research will examine "right to make rules" as a third legitimacy component. Lastly, this research will incorporate legal (police) as well as non-legal (parents) authority figures. The research will use a sample of 600 young adolescents currently participating in the New Hampshire Youth Study, a longitudinal study of delinquency. In Study 1, participants will read scenarios in which an authority figure (parent/police) acts fairly or unfairly (procedural justice). Perceptions of trust, right to make rules, and obligation to obey will be assessed. In Study 2, participants will read scenarios with trust, right to make rules, and obligation to obey manipulated (high vs. low). Participants will rate how likely the actor in the scenario and they themselves would be to break the rule.The findings will be used to develop an expanded model of legal socialization that integrates a new conceptualization of legitimacy. Ultimately, the proposed research will be able to be used immediately via workshops to inform and support school systems and social service agencies working with youth by providing a basis for the development of intervention efforts aimed at reducing adolescent delinquency.

青少年比任何群体都有最高的违规行为率。 本研究探讨法律的社会化，个人发展他们对社会规则的理解，并作出决定的过程。 具体来说，程序正义法律的社会化模型预测，权威人物的公平对待会导致青少年认为他们更合法，反过来，更有可能服从。 在此之前，合法性一直被视为信任和服从义务的复合体。目前的研究将信任和义务作为独立的组成部分进行审查。 此外，虽然青少年对权威人物制定规则的权利的看法被认为是另一个重要的合法性因素，但它并没有在程序正义模型中得到检验。 本研究将把“规则制定权”作为第三个合法性要素加以考察。 最后，这项研究将纳入法律的（警察）以及非法律的（父母）权威人物。这项研究将使用目前参加新罕布什尔州青少年研究的600名青少年的样本，这是一项关于青少年犯罪的纵向研究。 在研究1中，参与者将阅读权威人物（父母/警察）公平或不公平行为（程序正义）的场景。 将评估对信任、制定规则的权利和遵守规则的义务的看法。在研究2中，参与者将阅读具有信任、制定规则的权利和遵守操纵的义务（高与低）的情景。 参与者将评估情境中的参与者和他们自己违反规则的可能性，研究结果将用于开发一个扩展的法律的社会化模型，该模型整合了合法性的新概念。 最后，拟议的研究将能够通过讲习班立即用于向从事青年工作的学校系统和社会服务机构提供信息和支持，为开展旨在减少青少年犯罪的干预工作提供基础。
