Longitudinal Effects of Peer Violence and Popularity on Delinquency in Adolescent Males: Moderation by Family Functioning.
This project unpacks and extends the current work on family and peer influences on delinquency using a longitudinal sample of adolescent males. Findings indicate that family functioning may serve as a buffer to peer influence in adolescence. Thus, early intervention efforts focusing on family relationships may be more useful in preventing delinquency than attempting to impact peer selection or relationships.
