Alternate Title

OYS Male Peer Interaction Task

Summary

The original Oregon Youth Study (OYS) began in 1983. The goal was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with a view to designing preventive interventions within the context of the family and the school. The longitudinal study has expanded over the past few decades into an intergenerational study, retaining the original young men and including their partners and children. Waves 15-16 target males aged 23-25 and their peers.

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the intergenerational transmission of antisocial behavior and related problem behaviors, particularly substance use, using a fully prospective design by targeting the focal males aged 23-25 and their peers. This study examines how well respondents engage in tasks in the context of peer interaction, how strongly respondents are influenced by their peers, and substance use or behavior of the respondents and their peers. This is consistent with the overall aim of the Oregon Youth Study to measure the personal development of male respondents and their adjustment in society.

Sample

The sample includes the original male respondents from the Oregon Youth Study, as well as their chosen peers. The targeted age of this sample is 23 to 25 years old.
