DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While predictors of persistent antisocial behavior have been identified, a dearth of longitudinal studies following children into adulthood has limited our understanding of the developmental processes associated with serious and persisting delinquency. Even less is known about the factors that lead some individuals who exhibit serious antisocial behavior over several years to later refrain from such behavior. The limited research in this area has suggested that desistance from delinquency generally takes place in late adolescence and early adulthood. The present proposal will examine processes associated with persistence and desistence from antisocial behavior in two samples of the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS). The youngest and oldest samples of the PYS have been followed from childhood through adolescence with little attrition (18 and 16 longitudinal assessments, respectively). By following up the two samples at ages 25 (youngest sample) and 30 (oldest sample), we will be able to examine the nature of persistence and desistence from serious antisocial behavior across early adulthood, as well as to establish childhood/adolescent factors related to these outcomes. In addition, we will explore whether resistors are able to function as well adjusted adults, free from significant mental health problems (e.g., antisocial personality disorder, substance abuse, depression).

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然已经确定了持续性反社会行为的预测因素，但缺乏对儿童成年后的纵向研究，限制了我们对与严重和持续性犯罪相关的发展过程的理解。更不知道的是，是什么因素导致一些在几年内表现出严重反社会行为的人后来不再有这种行为。这方面的有限研究表明，停止犯罪一般发生在青春期后期和成年早期。目前的建议将检查与持续和停止反社会行为的匹兹堡青年研究（PYS）的两个样本的过程。最年轻和最古老的样本的PYS已经从童年到青春期的磨损（分别为18和16纵向评估）。通过对25岁（最年轻的样本）和30岁（最年长的样本）的两个样本进行随访，我们将能够检查在成年早期持续和停止严重反社会行为的性质，以及建立与这些结果相关的儿童/青少年因素。此外，我们还将探讨电阻器是否能够像成年人一样正常工作，没有严重的心理健康问题（例如，反社会人格障碍、物质滥用、抑郁症）。
