Family-Related Risk Factors for Later Violence (Seattle Study)
The Seattle longitudinal study revealed that family-related predictors of later violence vary by age. At age 10, parental attitudes favorable to violence were a key factor. By age 14, parental violence, criminality, poor family management, and family conflict became significant predictors. At age 16, the predictive factors included parental criminality, poor family management, family conflict, and residential mobility (frequent moves).

Community-Related Risk Factors for Later Violence (Seattle Study)
A large-scale longitudinal study tracked 800 youths, assessing risk factors for violence at ages 10, 14, and 16. The study found that while predictors could be grouped into family, peer, and community domains, the specific factors that most strongly predicted later violence changed as the youths aged. Based on this key finding, what is the most logical implication for designing prevention strategies?
Learn After
A major longitudinal study examined family-related predictors of violence in youth at ages 10, 14, and 16. The findings showed that the specific factors that were most predictive changed as the children aged. At age 10, parental attitudes favorable to violence were a key predictor. By ages 14 and 16, factors like poor family management, family conflict, and parental criminality became significant. Which of the following statements best analyzes the overall pattern of these changing risk factors?
