Session Type: Paper Session
This symposium brings together cutting edge research on the role of family, school, and neighborhood contexts. The first paper illustrates the way in which adolescents conceptualize school social context. The second paper, using a Social Capital lens, examines how ethnic minority youth in a low-income city made substance use decisions. The third paper seeks to test the individual and shared influence of neighborhood and family characteristics on the development of aggressive behavior. The final paper expands examines whether neighborhood characteristics (immigrant concentration and residential stability) related to parent-child relationship qualities and/or child behavior for Hispanic families.
