Social learning theory is one of the most prominent criminological theories of the 20th century. The dual systems model represents an emerging framework in recent years, which may help to better understand how social learning processes are influenced by sensation-seeking and impulse control. This study utilized data from all waves of the Pathways to Desistance study. A series of mixed-effects models were utilized to test for moderating effects of these constructs on offending outcomes. Impulse control moderated the relationship between deviant peer association and offending frequency, indicating that high levels of both constructs predicted increased offending frequency. Sensation-seeking moderated the relationship between deviant peer association and odds of offending, indicating that high levels of both constructs were associated with greater odds of offending although this moderation effect was only marginally significant.

社会学习理论是 20 世纪最著名的犯罪学理论之一。双系统模型代表了近年来新兴的框架，它可能有助于更好地理解社会学习过程如何受到感觉寻求和冲动控制的影响。这项研究利用了“通往疾病之路”研究的所有浪潮中的数据。一系列混合效应模型被用来测试这些结构对违规结果的调节作用。冲动控制减轻了异常同伴关联和冒犯频率之间的关系，表明这两种结构的高水平都预示着冒犯频率的增加。感觉寻求缓和了越轨的同伴交往与冒犯几率之间的关系，
