Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nature and direction of the relationship between parenting and peer effects in predicting early delinquency. The parenting–peer relationship was evaluated in 1,734 (811 male, 923 female) early adolescent members (mean age = 12.10 years) of the Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) study. A seven-equation path analysis was performed across three waves of data. The statistical significance of 16 indirect effects was evaluated using the Monte Carlo Method for Assessing Mediation. Two of the three pathways predicted to be significant were, in fact, significant (i.e., parental support to gang affiliation to participant delinquency; parental support to peer delinquency to participant delinquency), and all 13 pathways projected to be nonsignificant were, in fact, nonsignificant. Consistent with the research hypothesis for this study, prior parental support acted as a buffer against the delinquency-promoting effects of negative peer associations in early adolescent children.

积极的父母和消极的同龄人：在预测早期犯罪中评估照顾者和朋友效应的性质和顺序

本研究的目的是评估父母教养与同伴效应在预测早期犯罪中的关系的性质和方向。对1734名(811名男性，923名女性)青少年早期成员(平均年龄12.10岁)的父母与同伴关系进行了评估。对三波数据进行了七方程路径分析。采用蒙特卡罗方法对16个间接效应的统计显著性进行评估。在三条被预测为显著的途径中，有两条实际上是显著的(即，父母对帮派关系的支持对参与者犯罪的影响;父母支持到同伴犯罪到参与者犯罪)，所有13条路径都被认为是不显著的，事实上，不显著。与本研究的研究假设一致，先前的父母支持对青少年早期儿童的消极同伴交往促进犯罪的影响起缓冲作用。
