Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the process whereby college students with a history of problem behavior during adolescence made the transition from problematic adolescence to positive adaptation in young adulthood. College students (N = 149) between the ages of 18 and 22 were screened to determine if they met the criteria for a history of adolescent problem behavior and adaptive functioning in young adulthood. Of the 74 (49.7%) participants who met criteria for a history of problem behavior during adolescence, 31 (41.9%) were currently functioning well during young adulthood. Of these 31 individuals, 7 were interviewed to determine factors that contributed to the resolution of adolescent problem behavior in young adulthood. The results of this study suggested that there were developmental (e.g., psychosocial maturation), interpersonal (e.g., parental support and reconciliation with family members), and emotional (e.g., managing emotional problems) themes that were associated with the resolution of adolescent problem behavior.

青少年问题行为解决的混合方法研究:青年视角

摘要本研究旨在探讨青少年时期有问题行为史的大学生在青年时期从问题青少年向积极适应转变的过程。对年龄在18至22岁之间的大学生(N = 149)进行筛选，以确定他们是否符合青少年问题行为史和成年早期适应功能的标准。在74名(49.7%)符合青少年时期问题行为史标准的参与者中，31名(41.9%)在成年早期表现良好。在这31个人中，有7人接受了访谈，以确定在成年早期有助于解决青少年问题行为的因素。本研究结果表明，青少年问题行为的解决与发展(如心理社会成熟)、人际关系(如父母的支持和与家庭成员的和解)和情绪(如管理情绪问题)等主题有关。
