title: Oregon Youth Study Male Peer Interaction Task, Waves 19-20, 2001-2004
title: Version 1

description: This study is part of the Oregon Youth Study (OYS), which began in 1983 and has now become the Three Generational Study (3GS). The aim of the original study was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with the longer-term goal of designing preventative interventions. The longitudinal study expanded to include data collection regarding the relationships between the original male respondents, their romantic partners, and their offspring. This particular study focuses on the relationships of OYS male respondents and their peers, as well as the respondents' interactions with friends as well as society at large. Data is collected across Waves 19 and 20, spanning from 2001 to 2004.
description: The purpose of this study is to examine the social relationships held by OYS male respondents, the impact of influence from their peers, and how they navigate challenging social tasks or interactions. 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. 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 with their peers.
description: This is study is based on a comprehensive model for intergenerational studies to examine family influences on healthy development and maladjustment.
description: This study contains extensive information about a chosen peer of the OYS respondent, including demographics such as age, ethnicity, income, employment, and living history. The data includes information about each OYS respondent's relationship with said peer, including social influence, alcohol and drug consumption, criminal activity, and sexual conduct. It also includes information about the performance of respondents in the context of peer interaction tasks. Perspectives are included from both the OYS male respondents and their peers, as well as impressions from the interviewers.
description: The sample includes the original male respondents from the Oregon Youth Study, as well as their chosen peers to be included in the study, and occasionally their romantic partners. The targeted age of this sample is 27 to 29 years old.
