Reflections on Six Decades of Research on Adolescent Behavior and Development
Parsing Protection and Risk for Problem Behavior Versus Pro-social Behavior Among US and Chinese Adolescents
Adolescent Problem Behavior in Nairobi's Informal Settlements
Adolescent involvement in problem behaviors can compromise health, development, and successful transition to adulthood. The present study explores the appropriateness of a particular theoretical framework, Problem Behavior Theory, to account for variation in problem behavior among adolescents in informal settlements around a large, rapidly urbanizing city in sub-Saharan Africa. Data were collected from samples of never married adolescents of both…
Predicting Developmental Change in Healthy Eating and Regular Exercise Among Adolescents in China and the United States
This article reports a cross-national study of developmental change in health-enhancing behavior—healthy eating and regular exercise—among adolescents in China and the United States. The application of a conceptual framework comprising psychosocial and behavioral protective and risk factors—both proximal and distal and at both the individual and social contextual level—is shown to provide a substantial account of variation in change in those beha…
The Role of Social Contexts in Adolescence
A theoretical framework about protective factors (models protection, controls protec-tion, support protection) and risk factors (models risk, opportunity risk, vulnerability risk) was employed to articulate the content of 4 key contexts of adolescent life—fam-ily, peers, school, and neighborhood—in a cross-national study of problem behavior among 7th-, 8th-, and 9th-grade adolescents in the United States (n = 1,596) and the People’s Republic of C…
Adolescent Problem Behavior in China and the United States
An explanatory model of adolescent problem behavior (problem drinking, cigarette smoking, and general delinquency) based on protective and risk factors in the individual and in 4 social contexts (family, peer group, school, and neighborhood) is employed in school‐based samples from the People's Republic of China ( N =1,739) and the United States ( N =1,596). Despite lower prevalence of the problem behaviors in the Chinese sample, especially for g…
New Perspectives on Adolescent Risk Behavior
New Perspectives on Adolescent Risk Behavior
In this collection of chapters, leading scholars of adolescent risk behavior present the most recent ideas and findings about the variety of behaviors that can compromise adolescent development, including drug use, risky driving, early sexual activity, depression, and school disengagement. In particular, the volume emphasizes new perspectives on development and on person-centered analysis.
Risk and Protection in Successful Outcomes Among Disadvantaged Adolescents
Protective factors in adolescent health behavior
The role of psychosocial protective factors in adolescent health-enhancing behaviors--healthy diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, good dental hygiene, and seatbelt use--was investigated among 1,493 Hispanic, White, and Black high school students in a large, urban school district. Both proximal (health-related) and distal (conventionality-related) protective factors have significant positive relations with health-enhancing behavior and with th…
Ethnography and Human Development
Ethnography and Human Development
Studies of human development have taken an ethnographic turn in the 1990s. In this volume, anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists discuss how qualitative methodologies have strengthened the understanding of cognitive, emotional and behavioural development, and of the difficulties of growing up in contemporary society. Part One, informed by a post-positivist philosophy of science, argues for the validity of ethnographic knowledge. Part Tw…

Contraceptive Behavior and Adolescent Lifestyles
Findings are presented from a study assessing the relationship of contraceptive use to adolescent problem behavior and health-protective behavior. Study data were collected in spring 1992 from 793 sexually active, unmarried high school students in a large, metropolitan school district. Respondents are 51% male and approximately 34% White, 22% Black, 40% Hispanic, 2% Asian, and 2% Native American. A latent variable measure of regular contraceptive…
Ethnography and Human Development
Early Initiation of Sexual Intercourse
Longitudinal data were used to examine the relationship of psychosocial unconventionality—rejection of societal norms and a propensity to engage in nonconforming behavior—to early initiation of sexual intercourse in an urban sample of 1,330 White, Hispanic, and African-American male and female middle-school and high-school students. Measures of unconventionality were taken from the social-psychological framework of Problem-Behavior Theory. Analys…
Protective factors in adolescent problem behavior
The relation of psychosocial protective factors to involvement in problem behavior-alcohol and drug abuse, delinquency, and sexual precocity-was investigated in a longitudinal study of 7th-, 8th-, and 9th-grade adolescents in a large, urban school district. Protective factors were drawn from the personality, the perceived environment, and the behavior systems of problem-behavior theory. The findings show a significant inverse relation between pro…

Structure of Health-enhancing Behavior in Adolescence
The structure of the interrelations among a variety of health-enhancing behaviors was examined using structural equation modeling analyses of questionnaire data from 1,280 middle school students and 2,219 high school students. The health-enhancing behaviors included seat belt use, adequate hours of sleep, attention to healthy diet, adequate exercise, low sedentary behavior, and regular toothbrushing. In the middle school sample, all of the health…

Psychosocial Correlates of Marijuana Use and Problem Drinking in a National Sample of Adolescents
Personality, environmental, and behavioral variables representing psychosocial risk factors for adolescent problem behavior were assessed in a 1974 national sample study of over 10,000 junior and senior high school students. Significant correlations were found with marijuana use, and the relationships held across differences in age, sex, and ethnic group membership. Greater involvement in marijuana use was associated with greater value on indepen…

Both proximal (health-related) and distal (conventionality-related) protective factors have significant positive relations with health-enhancing behavior and with th…
Occupational Choice
The problem of explaining why people enter different occupations can be approached from various perspectives. It is possible to examine the ways in which changes in the wage structure and other economic factors channel the flow of the labor force into different occupations, in which case the psychological motives through which these socioeconomic forces become effective are treated. An approach would focus upon the stratified social structure, ra…

Problem drinking and the dimension of involvement with drugs
Analyses of data from two nationwide surveys of high school students, one carried out in 1974 and the other in 1978, suggest that problem drinking may be seen as yet another step along an underlying dimension of involvement with both licit and illicit drugs. The dimension of involvement with drugs consists of the following levels: nonuse of alcohol or illicit drugs; nonproblem use of alcohol; marijuana use; problem drinking; use of pills (ampheta…

Troublemaking behavior in a correctional institution
Inmates labelled as “troublemakers” by institutional staff are found to differ significantly from other inmates in the way they perceive their institutionalization. Distinguishing characteristics are elucidated which present a profile of the maladaptive inmate and shed light on the psychology of institutionization. Findings are felt to have implications for the management of inmates in a variety of settings
