Development of Antisocial Behavior in Early Adulthood

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请为儿童发展项目（CDP）的竞争性延续，旨在测试慢性反社会行为如何在585名男孩和女孩的纵向研究中发展的经验模型，这些男孩和女孩从学前班开始每年进行跟踪，并在未来五年内年满26岁。自1987年以来，CDP一直由联邦政府资助，每年的累计流失率不到1%。样本背景多样（17%为非洲裔美国人; 26%出生于社会经济地位最低的群体; 3个地理位置：纳什维尔，田纳西州;诺克斯维尔，田纳西州;和布卢明顿，印第安纳州），并且在当前21岁时的结果不同（36%接受精神疾病治疗; 21%被捕; 37%停学）。57 CDP出版物支持反社会发展的交易系统模型，该模型整合了生物和社会文化背景因素，儿童和青少年生活事件，以及作为中介的后天认知情感反应模式。从CDP的发现包括第一个前瞻性的示范，长期的不良后果，从早期的身体虐待，在社区样本和社会信息处理模式介导这些影响。 在接下来的五年里，将每年从参与者、同龄人、浪漫伴侣、后代、观察者和档案记录中收集数据，以评估参与者的参与水平、反社会行为以及与其他成年人（同龄人、父母、当局）、浪漫伴侣和后代关系中的亲社会行为。主要的创新目标是：1）检验青少年反社会行为和认知情绪过程的人际关系领域特异性; 2）确定这三个领域中反社会行为的预测因素，并检验添加模型、交互模型、生活经历中介模型、交互影响模型和领域特异性模型的假设;（3）检验习得的、特定领域的社会信息处理模式对生活经验对反社会结果的影响起中介作用的假设;（4）检验模型在性别、种族和文化群体中的普遍性; 5）测试行为和认知情感过程的代际传递; 6）通过以解决政策问题的方式分析数据，为预防实践和公共政策做出贡献。这项研究将有助于反社会发展的基本理论和预防科学和公共政策。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a competing continuation of the Child Development Project (CDP) aims to test an empirical model of how chronic antisocial behavior develops in a longitudinal study of 585 boys and girls who have been followed annually since preschool and who will turn age 26 during the next five years. The CDP has been federally funded continuously since 1987 with cumulative attrition of less than I percent per year. The sample is diverse in background (17% African-American; 26% born in lowest SES groups; 3 geographic sites of Nashville, TN; Knoxville, TN; and Bloomington, IN) and varied in outcomes at the current age of 21 (36% treated for psychiatric disorders; 21% arrested; 37% suspended from school). 57 CDP publications support a transactional systems model of antisocial development that integrates biological and sociocultural context factors, child and adolescent life events, and acquired cognitive-emotional response patterns as mediators. Discoveries from the CDP include the first prospective demonstration that long-term adverse outcomes accrue from early physical maltreatment in a community sample and that social information processing patterns mediate these effects. Data will be collected annually for the next five years from participants, peers, romantic partners, offspring, observers, and archival records, toward the goal of assessing participants' level of participation, antisocial behavior, and competent prosocial behavior in relationships with other adults (peers, parents, authorities), romantic partners, and offspring. Major innovative aims are to: 1) test the interpersonal relationship domain-specificity of antisocial behavior and cognitive-emotional processes in young adulthood; 2) identify predictors of antisocial behavior in these three domains and to test hypotheses of an additive model, an interactive model, a life-experiences mediational model, a reciprocal-influence model, and a domain-specific model; 3) test the hypothesis that acquired, domain-specific social information-processing patterns mediate the effect of life experiences on antisocial outcomes; 4) test the generalizability of models across gender, ethnic, and cultural groups; 5) test the intergenerational transmission of behavior and cognitive-emotional processes; and 6) contribute to prevention practice and public policy by analyzing data in a way that addresses policy questions. This research will contribute both to basic theories of antisocial development and to prevention science and public policy.
