Too little is known about how cultural, neighborhood, and socioeconomic forces work independently and in interaction to influence family child- rearing practices. The proposed study will use culturally-anchored analytical methods to address these issues in three phases. The following questions will guide the study: 1) To what extend does cultural influence the parenting strategies families choose, independent of other contextual forces? 2) Does culture, rather than socio-economic status or neighborhood context, changes what perceived parenting strategies reduced youth anti-social behavior? 3) To what extent do both neighborhood context and culture moderate the effect of child-rearing style on antisocial behavior? The study sample consists of 7th to 12th grade White, African-American, and Latino adolescents from similar socio-economic and neighborhood contexts surveyed by the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) (N=2,550). In the first phase, potential differences in parenting strategies used by families from these three race/ethnic groups will be explored. The extent to which distinct parenting scales emerge from factor analyses of youth reports of parenting behaviors for each ethnic group will be evaluated using both principle axis factor analysis and multi-sample confirmatory factor analysis. Exploratory cluster analysis of the resulting parenting scales will then allow potentially unique holistic patterns of parenting behaviors to emerge for each group. The second phase will examine the relationship between the parenting profiles revealed in the first phase and adolescent antisocial behavior for families of each ethnic group, controlling for factors such as youth gender, age, and grade, parent age, education, socio-economic status, and family structure. In the third phase, the potential moderating roles of both neighborhood poverty and race/ethnicity on the relationship between the parenting profiles and youth antisocial behavior will be considered, controlling for the same factors.

人们对文化、邻里和社会经济力量如何独立和相互作用地影响家庭育儿实践知之甚少。拟议的研究将使用以文化为基础的分析方法来分三个阶段解决这些问题。以下问题将指导研究：1）独立于其他背景力量，文化在多大程度上影响家庭选择的养育策略？ 2）文化（而不是社会经济地位或邻里环境）是否改变了人们所认为的减少青少年反社会行为的养育策略？ 3）邻里环境和文化在多大程度上调节了育儿方式对反社会行为的影响？研究样本由国家青少年健康纵向研究（添加健康）调查的来自类似社会经济和社区背景的 7 至 12 年级白人、非裔美国人和拉丁裔青少年 (N=2,550) 组成。在第一阶段，将探讨这三个种族/族裔群体的家庭所使用的养育策略的潜在差异。将使用主轴因子分析和多样本验证性因子分析来评估每个种族群体的青少年养育行为报告的因子分析中出现不同养育量表的程度。对由此产生的养育量表进行探索性聚类分析将使每个群体出现潜在的独特的养育行为整体模式。第二阶段将研究第一阶段揭示的养育概况与各族裔家庭青少年反社会行为之间的关系，并控制青少年性别、年龄和年级、父母年龄、教育程度、社会经济地位和家庭结构等因素。在第三阶段，在控制相同因素的情况下，将考虑社区贫困和种族/民族对养育方式与青少年反社会行为之间关系的潜在调节作用。
