项目摘要

Project Summary Using the most diverse, prospectively studied, multi-national sample to date, this study will generate empirical findings to develop a model of child- and family-level mediators and culture-level moderators of the role of childhood risk factors and young adult competence and maladaptation. Cross-cultural comparisons will inform domestic models of young adult maladaptation. The proposed research builds on the ongoing Parenting Across Cultures longitudinal study that began in 2008 with recruitment of a sample of 1,417 8-year-old children and their mothers and fathers from 9 countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States). We have since assessed families annually through interviews with mothers, fathers, and children about the parent-child relationship, the child’s adjustment, attitudes and beliefs, and cultural values, with 90% retention of the original sample. During the next project period, the original child participants will be 17 to 21 years old, a crucial period for understanding family and cultural influences on decisions, risks, competencies, and opportunities. We will conduct interviews annually with young adults, their parents, and a friend to assess health-compromising and risky behaviors as well as competencies in important domains of education, work, and intimate partnerships. We address three aims: (1) We will test the hypothesis that parenting influences on impulsive risky behaviors are indeed universal, but only when the construct of “risky behaviors” is identified in a culturally specific way. We will create profiles of health-compromising and risky behaviors during the transition to adulthood that are situated in cultural contexts that vary widely with respect to economic factors, norms about the acceptability of different behaviors, and opportunities for engaging in risky behaviors. (2) We will test the hypothesis that cultural contexts moderate associations between early parenting factors and the development of both competence and maladaptation during the transition to adulthood. (3) We will use empirical findings to develop a broad model of child-level and family-level mediators of links between childhood risk factors and young-adult competence and maladaptation. Addressing these three aims in the most diverse, prospectively studied, multi-national sample to date will have major public health implications because this knowledge will inform scientific understanding of the etiology of health-compromising and risky behaviors during the transition to adulthood. This new understanding will inform intervention practices to improve population health and well-being.

项目概要本研究将使用迄今为止最多样化、前瞻性研究的跨国样本，得出实证结果研究结果旨在开发儿童和家庭层面的调解者和文化层面的调节者模型儿童期风险因素和年轻人的能力和适应不良将提供信息。拟议的研究建立在正在进行的育儿跨界研究的基础上。文化纵向研究始于 2008 年，招募了 1,417 名 8 岁儿童及其孩子作为样本来自9个国家（中国、哥伦比亚、意大利、约旦、肯尼亚、菲律宾、瑞典、泰国、此后，我们每年都会通过对母亲、父亲和家庭的访谈来评估家庭。向孩子介绍亲子关系、孩子的适应能力、态度和信仰以及文化价值观，保留原始样本的 90% 在下一个项目期间，原始儿童参与者将是 17 至 17 岁。 21岁，是理解家庭和文化对决策、风险、能力的影响的关键时期，我们每年都会对年轻人、他们的父母和朋友进行采访以进行评估。危害健康和危险的行为以及教育、工作和重要领域的能力亲密的伙伴关系。我们实现三个目标：（1）我们将检验养育方式影响冲动风险行为的假设确实具有普遍性，但前提是“危险行为”的概念以特定文化的方式被识别出来。将在向成年过渡期间创建危害健康和危险行为的档案，这些行为位于在经济因素差异很大的文化背景下，关于不同事物可接受性的规范 (2) 我们将检验以下假设：文化背景调节了早期养育因素与能力和能力发展之间的关联 (3) 我们将利用实证研究结果来开发一个广泛的模型。儿童风险因素与青少年能力之间联系的儿童层面和家庭层面的中介因素在最多样化、前瞻性研究的跨国组织中解决这三个目标。迄今为止的样本将对公共卫生产生重大影响，因为这些知识将为科学提供信息了解成年过渡期间危害健康和危险行为的病因。新的认识将为改善人口健康和福祉的干预实践提供信息。
