Direct linkCavanagh, Caitlin – Child Development Perspectives, 2022
Adolescents are developmentally distinct from adults in ways that merit a tailored response to juvenile crime. Normative adolescent brain development is associated with increases in risk taking, which may include criminal behavior. Juvenile delinquency peaks during the adolescent years and declines in concert with psychosocial maturation. However,…

Does a Change in Moral Neutralization from Early to Mid-Adolescence Predict a Change in Delinquency?
Glenn D. Walters – Journal of Moral Education, 2023
A growth mixture modeling (GMM) analysis of neutralization scores in 1,830 youth across six waves of data revealed evidence of a three-class model in which moral neutralization either increased (low accelerating), decreased (high decelerating), or remained the same (moderate stable) over time. Controlling for age, sex, race, group assignment, and…

Societal belongingness -- feelings of being a connected, an affiliated, and a respected member of the larger society -- may contribute to the understanding of adolescent development both as a person and a member of society in a multicultural context. The current study examined the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the…

Past research has demonstrated an association between financial hardships and risk-taking behaviors (defined as delinquent or transgressive acts). However, this effect may differ based upon the provision of protective spaces, like those offered in extracurricular activities. In the current study, we examined the longitudinal effect of financial…

Logistic…

Benjamin Ganschow; Sven Zebel; Job van der Schalk; Hal E. Hershfield; Jean-Louis van Gelder – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
In this study, we investigate how the accumulation of stressful life events and chronic stressors experienced in adolescence predict young adults' future self-identification (i.e., connectedness, vividness, and valence of the future self) in a sample of 1482 Swiss youth. Furthermore, we investigate future self-identification as a source of…

Kim, Joonggon; Siennick, Sonja E.; Hay, Carter – Youth & Society, 2020
The main purpose of this study is to broaden our understanding of the predictors of self-control. We test how two types of strain variables (bullying victimization and grade dissatisfaction) influence the level of self-control during adolescence using three-wave panel data collected from Korean adolescents ranging in age from 14 to 16. We…

Mercer, Natalie; Crocetti, Elisabetta; Branje, Susan; van Lier, Pol; Meeus, Wim – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Adolescent delinquency and identity formation have both been described in relation to the confusion, doubt, and need for individuation and autonomy faced by adolescents. While theoretical conceptualizations (e.g., Erikson, 1968; Moffitt, 1993) suggest that delinquency and identity formation might be developmentally intertwined across adolescence,…
