Abstract

This study attempts to test the effects of neighborhoods on children and adolescents' alcohol, cigarette and marijuana use. Theoretically, this study was guided by Akers' (1998) SSSL model as potential explanations for understanding the linkage and provided partial test of the model. More specifically, it aims to test the mediation effects of one of core propositions of the SSSL model; whether differential association with deviant peers as well as with conforming peers mediates social disorganization of neighborhoods on adolescent substance and drug use in a different direction. Using multilevel regression techniques with robust standard error, this study utilized data from 1,791 children and adolescents who were nested in 80 neighborhoods in Chicago. The findings of the study provide mixed supports for the SSSL model. That is, it found that there are not only mediation effects but also moderation effects of differential association on children and adolescents' substance and drug use.

본 연구는 Akers의 사회구조 및 사회학습이론에 근거하여 미국의 아동과 청소년이 거주하는 지역의 사회환경적 특성들이 이들의 알콜, 담배 그리고 마리화나 사용에 어떠한 과정을 거쳐 영향을 미치는 가를 이해하고자 하였다. 미국의 PHDCN 데이터(총 1,791의 아동과 청소년)와 미국의 센서스데이터를 다층적 회귀분석방법을 이용하여 분석한 결과 사회구조 및 사회학습이론의 주장이 부분적으로 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 비행친구와의 차별적접촉이 중재역할 뿐만 아니라 조정의 역할도 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그 외 연구의 결과, 형사정책적 함의, 그리고 한계점 등이 논의되었다.
