PARENTING, CULTURE, NEIGHBORHOODS & ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR

人们对文化、邻里和社会经济力量如何独立地和相互作用地影响家庭抚养孩子的做法知之甚少。拟议的研究将使用文化锚定的分析方法，分三个阶段解决这些问题。以下问题将指导研究：1）在多大程度上，文化影响的父母选择的策略，独立于其他上下文的力量？2)文化，而不是社会经济地位或邻里环境，改变了什么样的感知育儿策略减少青年反社会行为？3)邻里环境和文化在多大程度上调节了教养方式对反社会行为的影响？研究样本包括7至12年级的白色，非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔青少年从类似的社会经济和邻里环境调查的国家青少年健康纵向研究（添加健康）（N=2,550）。在第一阶段，将探讨这三个种族/族裔群体的家庭所使用的育儿策略的潜在差异。在何种程度上出现不同的养育规模的因素分析的青少年报告的养育行为为每个民族将使用主轴因素分析和多样本验证性因素分析进行评估。探索性聚类分析所产生的养育规模，然后允许潜在的独特的整体模式的养育行为出现为每个组。第二阶段将研究第一阶段揭示的父母的个人资料和青少年反社会行为之间的关系，为每个民族的家庭，控制因素，如青少年的性别，年龄，年级，父母的年龄，教育，社会经济地位，和家庭结构。在第三阶段，邻里贫困和种族/民族之间的关系的父母配置文件和青年反社会行为的潜在调节作用将被考虑，控制相同的因素。

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.
