The purpose of this study was to identify subgroups of adolescents with distinct perceptions of parental messages supporting fighting and nonviolence. Latent class analysis identified four subgroups among 2,619 urban middle school students (90% African American; 52% female): messages supporting fighting (32%), messages supporting nonviolence (29%), mixed messages (23%), and no messages (16%). We found significant differences across subgroups in their frequency of physical aggression and peer victimization and beliefs about the use of aggressive and nonviolent responses to peer provocation. Beliefs significantly mediated the relation between parental messages subgroups and both aggression and victimization. Findings illustrate the heterogeneity in the messages urban adolescents perceive from their parents, as well as relations with adolescents’ beliefs and behavior.

城市中学生支持战斗和非暴力的父母信息模式。

本研究的目的是确定对支持战斗和非暴力的父母信息有不同看法的青少年亚群。潜在类别分析确定了 2,619 名城市中学生（90% 为非裔美国人；52% 为女性）的四个亚组：支持战斗的信息（32%）、支持非暴力的信息（29%）、混合信息（23%）和无信息(16%)。我们发现各亚组在身体攻击和同伴受害的频率以及对同伴挑衅使用攻击性和非暴力反应的信念方面存在显着差异。信念显着调节了父母信息亚群与侵略和受害之间的关系。调查结果说明了城市青少年从父母那里感知到的信息的异质性，以及与青少年信仰和行为的关系。
