Negative peers in adulthood were related to both contemporaneous and increased depression in adulthood for both males and females.
In addition, youth in the behavioral risk group were more likely to report negativepeer pressure than were youth in the optimal group.
Some children show higher levels of externalizing problems due to poor quality parenting, whereas others develop these problems through negativepeer experiences.
The emotional risk group might benefit from interventions that enhance parent-child relationships, improve self-worth, and increase resistance to negativepeer pressure.
Thus, for a substantial portion of the consistently high externalizing group, negativepeer experiences appear to maintain early behavior patterns through childhood and into adolescence.
In addition, the emotional risk group reported the most negativepeer pressure, and the behavioral risk group reported a greater tendency than most other youth to make decisions by themselves.
We speculate that early negativepeer experiences may be a seminal factor in the formation of deviant peer groups that amplify the characteristics that led to the original rejection.
Among children, identification of individuals with negativepeer expectations and excessive self-doubts about their own social functioning and competence would reflect youth with vulnerability to borderline disturbance.
In other words, we hypothesized that children who are better able to regulate their physiological arousal will be protected from negativepeer interactions, even in face of negative family processes.
A history of insecure attachment during infancy will predict negativepeer relationship representations in preadolescence, and these representations will be associated with anxiety symptoms in adolescence.
Finally, insecure attachment history was hypothesized to be associated with negativepeer relationship representations in preadolescence, which were hypothesized to be related to anxiety symptoms in adolescence.
If we could attack the problem of negativepeer group pressure and find positive ways of counteracting it, we could begin to take a major step forward.
