This study applies the theory of positive youth development (Lerner et al., 2010) and the youth systems framework (Varga & Zaff, 2018) to the examination of supportive peer and adult relationships across multiple contexts in which youth develop. Results of egocentric social network analysis indicated that high school-aged youth nominated significantly more adults than middle school-aged youth. Peers and adults both acted as important sources of support, although often the types of support they offer differ. Outdegree centrality of peers was a significant predictor of character. The size of a participant's youth system, measured as the number of contexts accessed, along with average closeness in adult relationships, was a significant predictor of contribution. Thematic analysis of interview data identified four themes, aligned with the five actions of developmental relationships, as contributing factors to youth–adult closeness and youth perceptions of support (Pekel et al., 2018). Implications for youth–adult relationships are discussed.

拓宽青年支持系统的视野:青春期支持性同伴和成人关系的生态学研究

本研究将积极的青年发展理论(Lerner 等人,2010 年)和青年系统框架(Varga 和 Zaff,2018 年)应用于在青年发展的多种背景下检查支持性同伴和成人关系。以自我为中心的社交网络分析结果表明,高中青年提名的成年人明显多于中学生。同龄人和成年人都是重要的支持来源,尽管他们提供的支持类型通常不同。同龄人的外度中心性是性格的重要预测因素。参与者青年系统的规模,以访问的上下文数量以及成人关系的平均亲密程度来衡量,是贡献的重要预测指标。访谈数据的专题分析确定了四个主题,与发展关系的五项行动一致,作为促成青年与成人亲密关系和青年支持感的因素(Pekel 等人,2018 年)。讨论了对青少年-成人关系的影响。
