SAMOISKAZANA SKLONOST ADOLESCENATA SOCIJALNIM DEVIJACIJAMA I ANTISOCIJALNIM PONAŠANJIMA
SELF-EXPRESSED TENDENCY OF ADOLESCENTS TOWARDS SOCIAL DEVIATIONS AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

Summary/Abstract: The aims of this paper were to establish the occurrence of self-expressed deviant and antisocial behaviour of adolescents and check whether there are differences in the expressed inclination towards certain types of behaviour with regard to some sociodemographic variables. The gathering of information took place in 1998 on a representative sample of Croatian highschool students (N= 2 823). Antisocial and deviant behaviour was examined by means of an adapted Scale for self-expressing delinquency comprising 36 individual behaviours grouped into six types of behaviour, based on the results of the main components analysis. These were: deviant behaviour, vandalism, thefts, thefts with violence, violence and social pathology. The sociodemographic variables included in the analysis consisted of gender and age of adolescents, school success and repeating a grade, father's and mother's level of education and work status, self-assessment of economic status and the level of urbanisation of the place of education.
