A longitudinal prospective design was used to test the generalizability of low levels of social preference and high levels of antisocial peer involvement as risk factors for delinquent behaviour problems to african american (AA) and european american (EA) boys and girls (N = 384). Social preference socres were computed from peer reports in middle childhoo (ages 6 - 9). Parents and adolescnets repored antisocial peer involvement in early adolescence (ages 13 - 16) and adolescents reported ont heir own delinquent behaviour in late adolescence (ages 17 and 18). Analyses tested for differences across four groups (AA boys, EA boys, AA girls, EA girls) in construct measurement, mean levels and associations among variables. Few measurement differences were found. Mean - level differences were found for social preference and delinquent behaviour. AA boys were least accepted by peers and reported the highest level of delinquent behaviour. EA girls were most accepted by peers and reported the lowest level of delinquent behaviour. Person - centered analyses showed the risk associated with low social preference and high antisocial peer involvement to be similar across groups, providing further evidence of the generalizability of the peer relationship experiences as risk factors for subsequent delinquent behaviour problems.
