Background

Trajectories of youth antisocial behavior (ASB) are characterized by continuity and change. Although numerous longitudinal studies have examined ASB, findings from person-centered and variable-centered research have not yet been integrated. The present paper integrates findings across statistical methods for a more comprehensive understanding of the development of ASB. Neighborhood disadvantage is considered as a core moderator.

Methods

The study protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database of systematic reviews (registration number CRD42021255820). The PsycINFO and PubMed databases were examined (September 2022) to identify longitudinal studies of youth aggression and/or rule-breaking. Results from person-centered and variable-centered studies were integrated via narrative synthesis, and a systematic quality assessment was conducted.

Results

Of 8227 studies identified, 136 met inclusion criteria. Our review indicated that rule-breaking trajectories were largely distinguished by differences in rate of change (i.e., slope), whereas aggression trajectories differed more by baseline level (i.e., intercept), particularly in childhood. For adolescents in disadvantaged neighborhoods, however, aggression trajectories differed by both intercept and slope.

Conclusions

The respective importance of the intercept and slope differed across dimensions of ASB, developmental stage, and neighborhood residence. Neighborhood disadvantage was associated with trajectories of aggression, consistent with developmental theories emphasizing the role of person-environment interactions.

跨时间和背景的青少年反社会行为的发展：以人为中心和以变量为中心的研究的系统回顾和整合

 背景

青少年反社会行为（ASB）的轨迹具有连续性和变化性的特点。尽管大量纵向研究已经检验了 ASB，但以人为中心和以变量为中心的研究结果尚未整合。本文整合了各种统计方法的研究结果，以便更全面地了解 ASB 的发展。邻里劣势被认为是一个核心调节因素。

 方法

研究方案已在 PROSPERO 系统评价数据库中注册（注册号 CRD42021255820）。对 PsycINFO 和 PubMed 数据库进行了检查（2022 年 9 月），以确定青少年攻击性和/或违反规则的纵向研究。通过叙述综合整合以人为中心和以变量为中心的研究结果，并进行系统的质量评估。

 结果

在确定的 8227 项研究中，有 136 项符合纳入标准。我们的审查表明，违反规则的轨迹在很大程度上通过变化率（即斜率）的差异来区分，而攻击轨迹则通过基线水平（即截距）的差异更大，特别是在儿童时期。然而，对于贫困社区的青少年来说，攻击轨迹在截距和斜率上都不同。

 结论

截距和斜率各自的重要性在 ASB、发展阶段和邻里居住的维度上有所不同。邻里劣势与攻击行为的轨迹相关，这与强调人与环境相互作用的发展理论相一致。
