项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed study will investigate peer influence on adolescent sexual risk, dating aggression, and substance use by directly examining talk between peers aged 16 to 19. Adolescence is a period of increased involvement in romantic and sexual relationships, which are salient experiences in the transition to adulthood, but also introduce vulnerabilities. In particular, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and dating aggression are prevalent problems in adolescence that pose dangers to long-term physical and mental health and incur considerable burden to public resources. Other risk behaviors, especially substance use, appear to share common developmental pathways. Often overlooked in the adolescent risk literature has been the transmission of information and influence between peers on these issues, given that friendships also assume more importance in adolescence. Preventive programs that target adolescent risk behavior have increasingly focused on changing peer group-based norms and interpersonal behaviors, but more basic science is necessary to understand the mechanisms and effects of peer influence so that they may be harnessed for improved intervention. The proposed study builds upon an ongoing longitudinal project that provides multiple waves of data on adolescents' risk behavior as well as exposure to family-of-origin aggression, treated here as a predictor of later deleterious outcomes. An ethnically diverse, community sample of same-sex friends will participate in videotaped, ecologically valid discussions of topics important to their lives, including dating and substance use. These candid discussions allow for measurement of cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes of peer influence. Processes will be measured through coding by human raters and also innovative computerized speech signal processing to measure emotional tone from acoustic characteristics of the voice. Longitudinal and multilevel analyses with 131 peer dyads will be used to test mediating and interacting effects, with aims to (1) examine associations between peer talk and risk, specifically dating aggression, sexual risk, STIs, pregnancy, and substance use; (2) test mediating and moderating roles for peer talk in the link between family-of-origin aggression and later risk and romantic relationship quality; and (3) explore gender differences in the effects of peer talk on outcomes. The proposed study will bridge literatures on: the intergenerational transmission of aggression; adolescent dating aggression, sexual risk behavior, and substance use; observational coding and computerized analysis of dyadic interaction; and adolescent health promotion. We argue that greater understanding of peer talk influence is critical to the design of more effective interventions for reducing teen pregnancy, STI transmission, dating aggression, and substance use among adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究将调查对青少年性风险，约会侵略和吸毒的影响，通过直接研究16至19岁的同龄人之间的谈话。青春期是增加参与浪漫和性关系的时期，这些时期是对成年的转变的显着经验，但也引入了脆弱性。特别是，意外怀孕，性传播感染（性传播感染）和约会侵略是青春期普遍的问题，对长期身心健康构成了危险，并给公共资源带来了巨大的负担。其他风险行为，尤其是使用物质，似乎共享了共同的发展途径。在青春期风险文献中，人们经常被忽视的是，鉴于友谊在青春期也更为重要，因此在这些问题上的信息和影响者在这些问题上的传播。针对青少年风险行为的预防计划越来越集中于改变基于同龄人群的规范和人际行为，但是更多的基础科学对于了解同伴影响的机制和影响是必要的，因此可以利用它们以改善干预措施。拟议的研究建立在一个正在进行的纵向项目的基础上，该项目提供了有关青少年风险行为以及暴露于原始侵略性的多种数据浪潮，在这里被视为后来有害结果的预测指标。同性朋友的种族多样化的社区样本将参与对其生活重要的主题的录像，生态上有效的讨论，包括约会和药物使用。这些坦率的讨论允许测量同伴影响的认知，情感和行为过程。流程将通过人类评估者和创新的计算机语音信号处理来衡量，以测量声音声学特征的情感音调。具有131个同伴二元组的纵向和多层次分析将用于测试介导和相互作用的效果，目的是（1）研究同伴谈话与风险之间的关联，特别是与侵略，性风险，性传播感染，性传播感染，怀孕，怀孕和药物使用之间的关联；（2）在原始侵略与后来的风险和浪漫关系质量之间的联系中，测试和调节角色的同伴谈话中的角色；（3）探索同伴谈话对结果的影响的性别差异。拟议的研究将介绍有关：侵略的代际传播；青春期的侵略，性风险行为和吸毒；二元相互作用的观察性编码和计算机化分析；和青少年健康促进。我们认为，对同伴谈话影响的更多了解对于设计更有效的干预措施的设计至关重要，以减少青少年怀孕，STI传播，约会侵略和青少年中使用物质的使用。
