Objectives: Understanding how immigrant young adults engage with civic society over time is critical to understanding and fostering healthy development and healthy democracies. The present study examines how civic engagement and antisocial attitudes/behavior of Somali young adult immigrants (ages 18-30, N = 498) in four North American regions co-occur, and change over time. Method: Using latent transition analyses, we examine latent classes of young adult males and females in relation to political and nonpolitical civic engagement and dimensions of antisocial attitudes/behavior and stability of these classes over 1 year. Results: Distinct latent classes were identified that remained consistent over time. Rates and patterns in latent class transitions varied along civically engaged/antisocial dimensions and also by gender. Conclusions: Antisocial attitudes/behavior can coexist with civic engagement. For males, sense of belonging to both Somali and American/Canadian communities was associated with lower levels of antisocial attitudes/behavior. Movement away from, or into, antisocial attitudes/behavior differs by gender and can happen either in the presence or absence of civic engagement.

索马里移民的公民发展和反社会态度/行为：一年以上的变化。

目标：了解随着时间的推移，年轻移民如何与公民社会互动，对于理解和促进健康发展和健康民主至关重要。本研究调查了北美四个地区的索马里年轻成年移民（18至30岁，N = 498）的公民参与和反社会态度/行为如何共存，并随时间变化。方法：使用潜在的过渡分析，我们研究了成年男性和女性在政治和非政治公民参与方面的潜在阶层，以及这些阶层在一年以上的反社会态度/行为和稳定性的程度。结果：识别出不同的潜在类别，这些类别随着时间的推移保持一致。潜在阶级过渡的比率和模式随着公民参与/反社会维度的变化以及性别的变化而变化。结论：反社会态度/行为可以与公民参与共存。对于男性来说，既属于索马里社区又属于美国/加拿大社区的归属感与较低的反社会态度/行为有关。远离或进入反社会态度/行为的运动因性别而异，并且可以在有或没有公民参与的情况下发生。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
