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：一年内的变化。

目标：了解年轻移民随着时间的推移如何参与公民社会，对于理解和促进健康发展和健康民主至关重要。本研究调查了四个北美地区的索马里年轻成年移民（18-30 岁，N = 498）的公民参与和反社会态度/行为是如何同时发生并随时间变化的。方法：使用潜在转换分析，我们检查了与政治和非政治公民参与相关的年轻成年男性和女性的潜在类别，以及这些类别在 1 年内的反社会态度/行为和稳定性的维度。结果：确定了不同的潜在类别，随着时间的推移保持一致。潜在阶级转变的比率和模式随着公民参与/反社会维度以及性别而变化。结论：反社会态度/行为可以与公民参与共存。对于男性来说，对索马里和美国/加拿大社区的归属感与较低水平的反社会态度/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）。
