商品描述

This third and final volume of Richard Jessor's collected works explores the central role of the social context in the formulation and application of Problem Behavior Theory. It discusses the effect of the social environment, especially the social context of disadvantage and limited opportunity, on adolescent behavior, health, and development. The book examines the application of the theory in social contexts as diverse as the inner cities of the United States; the slums of Nairobi, Kenya; and the urban settings of Beijing, China. It also provides insight into how adolescents and young adults manage to "succeed," despite disadvantage, limited opportunity, and even dangers in their everyday life settings. It illuminates how these youth manage to stay on track in school, avoid unintended pregnancy and dropout, keep clear of the criminal justice system, and remain uninvolved in heavy drug use. In addition, the book discusses the conceptual and methodological issues entailed in engaging the social context, including the role of subjectivity and meaning in an objective behavioral science; the contribution of the perceived environment in determining behavior; the continuity that characterizes adolescent growth and development; the necessity for a social-psychological level of analysis that avoids reductionism; the importance of a framework that engages the larger social environment; and the advantage of adhering to systematic theory for the explanatory generality it yields.
Topics featured in this volume include:

  • Home-leaving and its occurrence among youth in impoverished circumstances.
  • The continuity of adolescent developmental change.
  • The impact of neighborhood disadvantage on successful adolescent development.
  • Successful adolescence in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.
  • Explaining both behavior and development in the language of social psychology.

Problem Behavior Theory and the Social Context is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, clinicians, and related professionals as well as graduate students in sociology, social and developmental psychology, criminology/criminal justice, public health, and allied disciplines.

理查德·傑索（Richard Jessor）所著的第三卷及最終卷作品集探討了社會背景在問題行為理論的形成與應用中的核心角色。它討論了社會環境，特別是劣勢和有限機會的社會背景，對青少年行為、健康和發展的影響。本書檢視了該理論在美國內城、肯尼亞奈洛比的貧民窟以及中國北京的城市環境等多樣社會背景中的應用。它還提供了洞見，說明青少年和年輕成年人如何在日常生活環境中，儘管面臨劣勢、有限機會甚至危險，仍能「成功」。本書揭示了這些年輕人如何在學校保持正軌，避免意外懷孕和輟學，遠離刑事司法系統，並不參與重度藥物使用。此外，本書還討論了涉及社會背景的概念和方法論問題，包括主觀性和意義在客觀行為科學中的角色；感知環境在行為決定中的貢獻；青少年成長和發展的連續性；避免簡化主義的社會心理層面分析的必要性；涉及更大社會環境的框架的重要性；以及遵循系統理論所帶來的解釋普遍性的優勢。

本卷的主題包括：
- 在貧困環境中青少年離家現象的發生。
- 青少年發展變化的連續性。
- 鄰里劣勢對成功青少年發展的影響。
- 在肯尼亞奈洛比貧民窟中的成功青少年。
- 用社會心理學的語言解釋行為和發展。

《問題行為理論與社會背景》是研究人員、教授、臨床醫生及相關專業人士，以及社會學、社會與發展心理學、犯罪學/刑事司法、公共衛生及相關學科的研究生必備資源。
