Stefansson, Kristjan K.; Gestsdottir, Steinunn; Geldhof, G. John; Skulason, Sigurgrimur; Lerner, Richard M. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
School engagement involves cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that overlap conceptually.

The role of hostile attributional style (HAS) in antisocial development has been well-documented.
