Rural Neighborhoods and Child Aggression

Abstract: Structural equation modeling with latent variables was used to evaluate the direct and mediated effects of a neighborhood risk factor (negative teen behaviors) on the parent-report aggressive behavior of 213 students in grades 3 through 5 attending a school in a low-income, rural community. Contagion and social control hypotheses were examined as well as hypotheses about whether the neighborhood served as a microsystem or exosystem for rural pre-adolescents. Analyses took into account the clustering of student… Show more

“…Although cultures and social structures within communities are always changing, there may be features in the societies and cultures that impede changes in health information seeking behaviours. Findings of Bowen and Wretman (2014) indicated that rural neighbourhoods may operate as both a microsystem and an exosystem for children, with direct contagion effects on their behaviours and indirect social control effects through parenting practices 32. Although not directly associated to the villagers’ practice of participating health education programmes, this claim highlights the role of rural neighbourhoods as a micro-exosystem on the mode of participation in health education programmes within rural communities.…”

“…A missing values analysis (MVA) was conducted using Little’s missing completely at random (MCAR) test in SPSS to determine percentage and patterns of missing data [ 49 ]. The MCAR test was not statistically significant ( χ 2 = 301.69, df = 282, p = 0.20) and missing data were less than 2% on variables with any missing data, which is not likely statistically or clinically significant [ 50 ]. Mplus uses full information maximum likelihood (FIML) for handling any missing data on the indicator variables of latent factors, as well as observed variables and covariates pulled into the model [ 45 ].…”

“…Venkovské prostředí je specifické častějšími neformálními kontakty mezi rodiči a učite-li jakožto sousedy a mírou sociální kontroly, která je vyšší než ve větších městech (Bowen & Wretman, 2014). Zároveň starousedlíci vnímají školu jako autoritu, které se neoponuje.…”
