Cascading peer dynamics underlying the progression from problem behavior to violence in early to late adolescence / Thomas J. DISHION in Development and Psychopathology, 22-3 (August 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 22-3 (August 2010) . - p.603-619 Titre : Cascading peer dynamics underlying the progression from problem behavior to violence in early to late adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Thomas J. DISHION, Auteur ; Marie-Hélène VERONNEAU, Auteur ; Michael W. MYERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.603-619 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the peer dynamics linking early adolescent problem behavior, school marginalization, and low academic performance to multiple indices of late adolescent violence (arrests, parent report, and youth report) in an ethnically diverse sample of 998 males and females. A cascade model was proposed in which early adolescent risk factors assessed at age 11 to 12 predict gang involvement at age 13 to 14, which in turn, predicts deviancy training with friends at age 16 to 17, which then predicts violence by age 18 to 19. Each construct in the model was assessed with multiple measures and methods. Structural equation modeling revealed that the cascade model fit the data well, with problem behavior, school marginalization, and low academic performance significantly predicting gang involvement 2 years later. Gang involvement, in turn, predicted deviancy training with a friend, which predicted violence. The best fitting model included an indirect and direct path between early adolescent gang involvement and later violence. These findings suggest the need to carefully consider peer clustering into gangs in efforts to prevent individual and aggregate levels of violence, especially in youths who may be disengaged, marginalized, or academically unsuccessful in the public school context.

Emerging psychopathology moderates upward social mobility: The intergenerational (dis)continuity of socioeconomic status / Marie-Hélène VERONNEAU in Development and Psychopathology, 27-4 (Part 1) (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 27-4 (Part 1) (November 2015) . - p.1217-1236 Titre : Emerging psychopathology moderates upward social mobility: The intergenerational (dis)continuity of socioeconomic status Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marie-Hélène VERONNEAU, Auteur ; Lisa A. SERBIN, Auteur ; Dale M. STACK, Auteur ; Jane LEDINGHAM, Auteur ; Alex SCHWARTZMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.1217-1236 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Socioeconomic status (SES) is relatively stable across generations, but social policies may create opportunities for upward social mobility among disadvantaged populations during periods of economic growth. With respect to expanded educational opportunities that occurred in Québec (Canada) during the 1960s, we hypothesized that children's social and academic competence would promote upward mobility, whereas aggression and social withdrawal would have the opposite effect. Out of 4,109 children attending low-SES schools in 1976–1978, a representative subsample of 503 participants were followed until midadulthood. Path analyses revealed that parents’ SES predicted offspring's SES through associations with offspring's likeability, academic competence, and educational attainment. Interaction effects revealed individual risk factors that moderated children's ability to take advantage of intrafamilial or extrafamilial opportunities that could enhance their educational attainment. Highly aggressive participants and those presenting low academic achievement were unable to gain advantage from having highly educated parents. They reached lower educational attainment than their less aggressive or higher achieving peers who came from a similarly advantaged family background. Growing up with parents occupying low-prestige jobs put withdrawn boys and outgoing girls at risk for low educational attainment. In conclusion, social policies can raise SES across generations, with great benefits for the most disadvantaged segments of the population. However, children presenting with emerging psychopathology or academic weaknesses do not benefit from these policies as much as others, and should receive additional, targeted services.
