Buffering effects of positive childhood experiences on the association between adolescents' adverse childhood experiences and delinquency: A statewide study
Background
Although research demonstrates a graded relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and delinquent behaviors for youth involved in juvenile justice, few studies have examined whether positive childhood experiences (PCEs) mitigate this relationship in low-risk samples.
Objective
This study investigates the degree to which PCEs buffer the relationship between high schoolers' ACEs and self-reported delinquent behavior and arrests.
Participants and setting
Data were collected in 2020 using the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS), an in-school survey of students in Grades 9–12. Of the 24,772 participants, 51 % reported their sex as male, 49 % reported their race/ethnicity as White/Caucasian, 30 % Spanish/Hispanic/Latiné, 26 % Black/African American, 2 % American Indian/Native American, 3 % Asian, 1 % Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 3 % another race/ethnicity.
Methods
Adolescents self-reported information on 10 ACEs, 8 PCEs, delinquent behavior, and arrest. Logistic regression was estimated to assess effects on having been arrested in the past year or having committed an act of delinquency in the past year.
Results
Odds of arrest were 14 % higher for every one-point increase in ACEs and 16 % lower for every one-point increase in PCEs with no evidence of a buffering effect of PCEs on the link between ACEs and arrest. Odds of delinquency were 13 % higher for every one-point increase in ACEs and 14 % lower for every one-point increase in PCEs. There was a significant interaction of ACEs and PCEs predicting delinquency. There was a stronger buffering effect of PCEs on the link between ACEs and delinquency among youth with fewer ACEs.
Conclusions
Results suggest intervention strategies that increase PCEs in adolescents' immediate environments promote better outcomes for all youth including those exposed to ACEs.
期刊介绍:
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
