Psychosocial Consequences of Adolescents' Problem Behavior in School
نویسنده
چکیده
Problem behavior is a widespread phenomenon in schools. The present paper examines the consequences of problem behavior (disruptive behavior, physical aggression) in grade 7 on psychosocial adjustment (selfesteem and social self-concepts) in grade 10, controlling for psychosocial adjustment. Results suggest that problem behavior in grade 7 had positive effects on psychosocial adjustment. These effects were found particularly in students with low initial self-concepts. Thus, problem behaviors seem to be one behavioral option that students with low self-concepts use to deal with their self-defeating attitudes. (Contains 22 references.)
