The current study explored early adolescent child-level predictors (physical aggression, impulsivity, empathy) and contextual-level predictors (peer deviance, neighborhood dangerousness) of violent and nonviolent antisocial behavior (AB) in late adolescence. Additionally, we tested the moderating role of rejecting parenting on these associations based on the importance of parent-child relationships in early adolescence and documented bidirectional associations between parenting and our predictor variables. Participants (N = 272) came from the Pitt Mother and Child Project, a longitudinal study of high-risk boys. Higher levels of early adolescent physical aggression significantly predicted late adolescent engagement in both nonviolent and violent crimes. Peer deviance, impulsivity, and neighborhood dangerousness were also associated with later juvenile AB. Rejecting parenting moderated several of these associations. Results support the predictive validity of several early adolescent child- and contextual-level variables—particularly early adolescent aggression—for subsequent engagement in both violent and nonviolent AB.

当前的研究探讨了青春期早期暴力和非暴力反社会行为（AB）的儿童早期水平的预测因素（身体攻击，冲动，同情）和上下文水平的预测因素（同伴偏差，邻里危险）。此外，我们根据青春期早期的亲子关系的重要性以及父母与我们的预测变量之间的双向关联关系，测试了在这些关联上拒绝父母的调节作用。参加人数= 272）来自“皮特母亲与儿童项目”，该项目是对高危男孩的纵向研究。较高的青少年早期身体侵略水平显着预测青少年后期参与非暴力犯罪和暴力犯罪。同辈偏差，冲动性和邻里危险性也与后来的少年AB有关。拒绝养育子女可以缓解其中的一些关联。结果支持了几个早期的儿童和情境水平变量（尤其是青春期的侵略性）对于随后参与暴力和非暴力AB的预测有效性。
