Self-Concept and Delinquency: The Effects of Reflected Appraisals by Parent and Peers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the relationship between self-concept or identity and juvenile delinquency. Major contributions to the study of deviance based on interactionist theory are reviewed. We conduct an empirical analysis, with a focus on the effects of parental and peer reflected appraisals. Measures based on social control theory are included in the analysis as a comparison with interactionist measures. We find strong support for symbolic interactionist theory.
