这项研究探讨了同伴经验和群体攻击对短期住院治疗中青少年行为调整的独立和相互作用的贡献。参与者为 219 名青少年（Mage= 12.70，SD= 2.76；71% 男性），分为 28 个同龄、同性别治疗组。社会计量访谈评估了社会偏好和受害情况。工作人员的日常行为观察评估了治疗组攻击性的总体水平，以及对特定社交事件的攻击性、孤僻和亲社会反应。预测夏末的行为反应（对所有事件、对同龄人、对成年人），并控制这些反应的初始水平。社会偏好预测夏末亲社会反应较高，而受害则预测亲社会反应较低和退缩反应较高。在一些分析中，每个人都与群体攻击性相互作用，更积极的同伴体验只能预测攻击性较低或平均的群体会做出更有利的反应。针对特定交互者的分析表明，其中一些关联是广泛的，而另一些仅适用于成年人。例如，群体攻击性调节了社会偏好与对成年人而非同龄人的攻击性反应之间的关联。性别差异也因互动者而异。结果强调了同伴经验在群体治疗中的重要性，并强调了行为调整分析中互动者的聚合和分解的价值。
This research examined the independent and interactional contributions of peer experiences and group aggression to youth behavioral adjustment in short-term residential treatment. Participants were 219 youth (Mage= 12.70,SD= 2.76; 71 % male) nested in 28 same-age, same-sex treatment groups. Sociometric interviews assessed social preference and victimization. Daily behavioral observations by staff assessed overall levels of treatment group aggression, as well as aggressive, withdrawn, and prosocial responses to specific social events. End-of-summer behavioral responses (to all events; to peers; to adults) were predicted, controlling for initial levels of these responses. Social preference predicted higher end-of-summer prosocial responses, and victimization predicted lower prosocial and higher withdrawn responses. Each interacted with group aggression in some analyses, with more positive peer experiences only predicting more favorable responses in groups that were low or average in aggression. Interactant-specific analyses revealed that some of these associations were broad, whereas others applied only to adults. For example, group aggression moderated the association between social preference and aggressive responses to adults but not peers. Gender differences were also interactant-specific. Results highlight the importance of peer experiences in group treatment and underscore the value of both aggregation and disaggregation over interactants in analyses of behavioral adjustment.
