The analysis used the social developmental model, a newly integrated approach that has been used to test white, black, and Hispanic gang groups. The participants were 358 Asian-American high school students from 20 cities in five regions of the country. The data were analyzed by means of multiple regression analysis. Results strongly suggested that factors influencing Asian gang affiliation are similar to those for other ethnic gang groups. Thus, the directional social bond, personality, cognitive skills, and social environmental factors were the adequate indicators for gang affiliation among Asian American high school students.
