A Developmental Explanatory Model of Maladaptive Aggressive Dispositions in Urban African American Adolescents

  • Alonzo DeCarlo

Abstract

The primary objective of this model is to deepen the understanding of clinical mental health professionals and intersecting intervention institutions working with urban African American youth on problems related to maladaptive aggressive behavior. Through a combination of neurobiomarkers and novel psychosocial mechanisms, a developmental explanatory model is proposed that explains a substantial portion of the theoretical variance in maladaptive aggressive behavior. Specific temporal and contextual cofactors are shown in a developmental perspective that may exacerbate maladaptive aggressive dispositions with urban African American adolescents who reside in at-risk environments.
