Abstract: | The current study applied the Social Development Model (SDM) to improve understanding of the mediation processes through which
the family environment was related to Chinese adolescent delinquent behavior. We tested the hypothesized model using structural
equation modeling with questionnaire data collected from 736 Chinese 7th and 9th graders, their parents, and their teachers
from two middle schools in Beijing, China. Testing the model separately for boys and girls yielded adequate fit indices for
both although the hypothesized model was not invariant across gender and several gender differences were identified. The SDM
appeared to be a valuable tool in studying the development of Chinese adolescent delinquency. |
