Abstract

Research examining relations between various types of antisocial behavior (ASB) have generally been based on cross-sectional data. Although there is a strong correlation between types of ASB, it has been less common to examine how patterns of adolescents' problems vary over time. This study used a person-oriented approach to examine patterns of ASB in adolescents longitudinally and also investigated how these patterns were associated with three outcomes. The sample consisted of 778 Swedish adolescents in grade 7 (13 years old) followed over time to grade 9. Patterns of ASB were identified based on adolescent-reported tobacco and alcohol use, truancy, bullying in school, and delinquency. The outcomes were drug use, depressive symptoms, and missing grades in grade 9. Results revealed an escalation in the frequency and seriousness of ASB over time, although the largest single cluster over time evidenced no ASB. One cluster in particular increased the risk of drug use, depression, and missing grades at grade 9. Results are discussed in relation to school-based prevention efforts.

青少年反社会行为模式的稳定性与变化。

不同类型反社会行为(ASB)之间关系的研究通常基于横断面数据。虽然不同类型的ASB之间有很强的相关性，但研究青少年问题的模式如何随时间变化却不太常见。本研究采用以人为本的方法对青少年ASB的模式进行了纵向研究，并调查了这些模式与三种结果的关系。样本包括778名瑞典7年级(13岁)的青少年，随访至9年级。根据青少年报告的烟草和酒精使用、逃学、学校欺凌和犯罪行为来确定ASB的模式。结果是药物使用、抑郁症状和9年级失分。结果显示，随着时间的推移，ASB的频率和严重程度都在上升，尽管最大的单个集群随着时间的推移没有证明ASB。其中一个群体尤其增加了吸毒、抑郁和九年级失学的风险。讨论了以学校为基础的预防工作的结果。
