In the Seattle longitudinal study, peer group influences were strong predictors of future violence. Delinquency among peers was a consistent risk factor across elementary (age 10), middle (age 14), and high school (age 16). Gang membership emerged as a significant predictor during middle school (age 14) and continued into high school (age 16).

Peer-Related Risk Factors for Later Violence (Seattle Study)

A longitudinal study on youth violence tracked risk factors at ages 10, 14, and 16. The findings related to peer influences showed that association with delinquent peers was a consistent predictor at all three ages, while gang membership only emerged as a significant predictor at ages 14 and 16. Which statement best analyzes this developmental pattern?

A longitudinal study on youth violence identified two key peer-related risk factors, measured at ages 10, 14, and 16. The study found that 'delinquency among peers' was a significant predictor of later violence at all three ages. In contrast, 'gang membership' was found to be a significant predictor only at ages 14 and 16. Which of the following statements best analyzes the developmental pattern of these two risk factors?
