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…

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…

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…
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…
