摘要

The purpose of the current longitudinal study was to examine links between neighborhood violence and interpersonal trauma and adolescent adjustment difficulties and whether these links were moderated by supportive family relationships. The sample consisted of 171 adolescent girls and their primary caregiver parents from low-income families. Neighborhood violence, interpersonal trauma, parental involvement, and family expressed positivity were assessed at Time 1. Two years later, adolescent emotion regulation, antisocial behavior, and prosocial behavior were measured. Findings indicated that high levels of neighborhood violence and interpersonal trauma were significantly related to high levels of antisocial behavior and low levels of emotion regulation and prosocial behavior. Moreover, the results indicated that the link between neighborhood violence and adolescent adjustment was attenuated under high levels of parental involvement and family expressed positivity. In contrast, the associations between interpersonal trauma and adolescent antisocial behavior and prosocial behavior were magnified under high levels of parental involvement and family expressed positivity. The utility of family relationships as protective factors and how this may vary by context while being consistent across adjustment domains was discussed.
