The Effects of Surrogate Caregivers on The Relationship Between Fatherless/Fatherloss African American Male Youths and Their Level of Delinquent Behavior

Carter-Haith, James A., Jr. 14 January 2010 (has links)
This study hypothesized that fathers and surrogates (male role models) contribute a unique set of factors that help guide African American male youths (N=496) during their normal developmental stages. This study hypothesized that surrogate caregivers would have an impact on the overall level of delinquent behavior of this population. A path analysis tested direct and mediated effects of exposure to violence on delinquent behavior, with anger/aggression level as a potential mediator for all three levels of caregiver presence or absence as a moderator. In the analysis of archival data from 496 African American male youths, the findings did not support these hypotheses consistently. Exposure to family violence as a mediator consistently predicted level of anger, and level of anger negatively predicted delinquent behavior for the fatherless sample. However, exposure did not have a direct positive effect on delinquent behavior in any of the three samples. Implications of these findings as well as other unpredicted findings with these three groups are explored.

Validation de la structure factorielle de la version francophone pour le Québec du MAYSI-2

Benoit, Pierre-Olivier 10 1900 (has links)
Les jeunes contrevenants présentent une forte prévalence de troubles mentaux en comparaison des adolescents de la population générale. Il semble qu’une large partie d’entre eux ne reçoivent pas les services et traitements appropriés à leurs conditions mentales, souvent faute de dépistage. Un outil de dépistage semble s’imposer comme un incontournable aux États-Unis et à travers le monde auprès des jeunes contrevenants : le Massachussets Youth Screening Instrument – second version (MAYSI-2). Une version adaptée pour les francophones du Québec est en usage clinique depuis 2016 mais n’a fait l’objet d’aucune étude de validation jusqu’à présent. L’objectif de notre étude est de valider la structure factorielle de la version francophone pour le Québec du MAYSI-2 à partir des données recueillies au sein d’un échantillon d’adolescents québécois hébergés dans des unités pour jeunes contrevenants (N=962). Pour ce faire nous avons analysé la consistance interne de l’instrument et de ses différentes sous-échelles. Nous avons ensuite procédé à une analyse factorielle confirmatoire afin de tester la structure des dimensions et une analyse factorielle confirmatoire multigroupes afin de tester la robustesse des solutions en fonction du genre (garçon : N= 880 -fille : N= 82) et du statut légal (Loi du système de justice pénale pour adolescents, N = 741 et placement en encadrement intensif, N= 207). Nos résultats indiquent que la consistance interne des échelles est bonne pour cinq des sept échelles (Alpha entre 0,704 et 0,805), satisfaisantes pour l’échelle des expériences traumatiques (Alpha de 0,603) et sous les standards pour l’échelle des troubles de la pensée (Alpha de 0,480). Les résultats de l’analyse factorielle confirmatoire indiquent que l’adéquation du modèle factoriel à sept facteurs est au-delà des critères de satisfaction (erreur type de l’approximation (RMSEA) = 0,041, indice de Tucker et Lewis (TLI) = 0,911 et indice d’ajustement comparatif (CFI) = 0,905). Nos mesures de l’invariance de la structure factorielle entre les sous-groupes nous indiquent que le modèle à sept facteurs est une solution satisfaisante pour l’ensemble des sous-groupes de notre étude. Pris dans leur ensemble, nos résultats confirment la validité factorielle de la version francophone pour le Québec du MAYSI-2. Ces résultats soutiennent la pertinence d’implanter plus largement au Québec l’outil MAYSI-2 comme outil de dépistage à utiliser systématiquement auprès des jeunes contrevenants. / Youth offenders have a high prevalence of mental disorders compared to adolescents in the general population. It seems that a large proportion of them do not receive the appropriate services and treatments for their mental conditions, often due to a lack of screening. The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument – second version (MAYSI-2) appears to be a key screening tool for youth offenders in the United States and around the world. A version adapted for Francophones in Quebec has been in clinical use since 2016 but has not been the subject of any validation so far. The objective of our study is to validate the factorial structure of the French- version of the MAYSI-2 for French speaking adolescent in Quebec based on data collected from a sample of adolescent housed in units for youth offenders (N=962). To do this, we analysed the internal consistency of the instrument and its various sub-scales. We then carried out a confirmatory factor analysis to test the structure of the dimensions and a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis to examine the robustness of the solutions according to gender (boy: N= 880 -girl: N= 82) and legal status (LSJPA, N = 741 and Intensive Supervision, N = 207). Our results indicate that the internal consistency of the scales is reliable for five of the seven scales (Alpha between 0.704 and 0.805), satisfactory for the scale of traumatic experiences (Alpha of 0,603) and below the standards for the scale of thought disturbance (Alpha of 0,480). Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate that the fit of the seven-factor model is beyond the satisfaction criteria (root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.041, Tucker and Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.911 and Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0,905). Our measures of the invariance of the factor structure between subgroups indicates that the seven-factor model is a satisfactory solution for all subgroups in our study. Taken as a whole, our results confirm the factorial validity of the French-version of the MAYSI-2 for French speaking adolescent in Quebec. These results support the relevance of implementing the French version of the MAYSI-2 tool more widely as a screening tool to be used systematically with French speaking young offenders in Quebec.
