This research investigates the pathways leading to the onset and participation in antisocial behaviors during early adolescence and seeks to identify the key regulators of such risk. Applying Sameroff and colleagues' developmental-transactional model, this project takes as its tasks: 1) the clarification of outcomes that are the focus of preventive efforts; 2) the identification of salient triggering marker behaviors along the identified development sequences; 3) identification of critical timing issues including age of initiation and temporal rate of progression from one marker behavior to the next; and 4) the elucidation of salient risk factors for developmental sequences. The findings have important implications for prediction and prevention of adolescent antisocial and delinquent behaviors. A sample of 500 5th and 7th grade males will be studied. This age group is focused on because of past findings implicating early adolescence as a critical time in the formation of antisocial behavior. These subjects, their families, and teachers will be surveyed four times over a five year period. At each survey point, the subjects will complete a self-report delinquency measure and other questionnaires dealing with several aspects of family functioning, peers and personal social networks, stress, and coping. In addition, multiple survey data will be obtained from parents and teachers, family interactions will be observed, official police and court records will be recorded, and scholastic functioning will be coded from school records. The focus of analyses is four-fold: 1) determining causes and effects of antisocial behavior; 2) testing prediction and effects of patterns of antisocial involvement; 3) evaluating dynamic interaction of change in behavior and psycho-social predictor status; and 4) evaluating predictors and effects of antisocial behavior. The interrelationship of parameters of antisocial behavior such as initiation age, progression rate, involvement level, chronicity, and official status will be studied. Analyses will also evaluate resiliency factors, differences in early and late initiations groups, and variations in predictor salience.

这项研究调查了导致发病的途径， 在青少年早期参与反社会行为，并寻求 确定此类风险的主要监管机构。 应用Sameroff和 同事的发展交易模型，这个项目作为其 任务：1）澄清预防工作的重点成果， 努力; 2）识别显著的触发标记行为，沿着 确定开发顺序; 3）确定关键时机 问题，包括开始的年龄和从 一个标记行为到下一个;和4）阐明突出的风险 发展序列的因素。 这些发现具有重要意义 对青少年反社会和 犯罪行为 将对500名五年级和七年级男生进行研究。 这一年龄组 因为过去的研究结果表明，青春期早期是一个 反社会行为形成的关键时期。 这些科目， 他们的家人和教师将在五年内接受四次调查 期 在每个调查点，受试者将完成一份自我报告 犯罪衡量标准和其他涉及几个方面的问题单 家庭功能，同伴和个人社交网络，压力， 应对 此外，还将从家长那里获得多项调查数据 和教师，家庭互动将被观察，官方警察和 法庭记录将被记录，学校功能将被编码， 从学校的记录中。 分析的重点是四个方面：1）确定的原因和影响， 反社会行为; 2）测试预测和模式的影响， 反社会参与; 3）评估变化的动态相互作用， 行为和心理社会预测状态;以及4）评估预测因子 和反社会行为的影响。 参数的相互关系 反社会行为，如起始年龄，进展速度，参与 水平，慢性，和官方地位将进行研究。 分析还将 评估弹性因素，早期和晚期启动的差异 组，和预测显着性的变化。
