Examining Interpersonal Relationship Predictors Of Delinquency Across Ethnic and Racial Samples

Abstract

This study examined the associations between self-reported delinquency and elements of control theory. The subjects used for this study were adolescent males participating in an intervention program for youth at risk for alcohol and drug use. This study included quantitative measures of adolescents' self-reports and referring agencies' reports, which were administered during intake interviews. A regression analysis was used to determine whether elements of control theory predict self-reported delinquency. The measure was also utilized to explore whether the predictors are consistent across ethnic and racial sub-groups. The results support other empirical studies that suggest there is a statistically positive relationship between interpersonal relationships and delinquency.

Keterikatan Interpersonal pada Beberapa Etnis Besar di Indonesia

“…Penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya tentang keterkaitan interpersonal (interpersonal relation) dilakukan dengan cara menghubungkannya dengan variabel lain (Downie, Mageau, & Koestner, 2008;Li, Jiang,Yong, & Zhou, 2018;Opič, 2016;Su-hsing & Weiming, 2009), dicari perbedaannya antar-etnis (den Brok, Wubbels, Veldman, & van Tartwijk, 2009;Shears & Furman, 2005), antargender (Calmes & Roberts, 2008), atau antar kepribadian. Sebagai contoh, keterikatan interpersonal berkorelasi positif dengan sifat kebaikan hati (agreeableness) dan berkorelasi negatif dengan trait neurotisisme (neuroticism) (Kurtz & Sherker, 2003;Nashori, Wijaya, Diana, & Herawati, 2019;Nashori, Iskandar, Setiono, Siswadi, & Andriansyah, 2020).…”

“…Adapun yang sudah dilakukan adalah mengkaji hubungan antara variabel keterikatan interpersonal dan variabel lain seperti pemaafan, agreeableness, neuroticism, religiositas (Nashori, 2011;Nashori, 2012;Nashori, dkk., 2011;Nashori, Iskandar, dkk., 2019;Nashori, Wijaya, dkk., 2019). Walau sudah ada perbandingan tentang keterkaitan interpersonal (interpersonal relation) antar etnis dalam riset sebelumnya di kebudayaan Barat (den Brok, Wubbels, Veldman, & van Tartwijk, 2009;Shears & Furman, 2005), namun hasil riset itu sangat kontekstual dan tidak bisa digunakan dalam konteks perbedaan etnis seperti di Indonesia. Walau Indonesia dianggap sebagai bangsa dengan budaya kolektivistik yang sangat menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai relasional, namun bisa jadi terdapat perbedaan antar etnis di dalamnya.…”

Predictors of Offense Severity, Adjudication, Incarceration, and Repeat Referrals for Juvenile Offenders

“…Farrington, Jolliffe, Loeber, Stouthamer-Loeber, and Kalb (2001), after examining three generations of families, found that 8% of the families included in the study accounted for 43% of all juvenile arrests. In addition, a growing body of literature suggests that the association with delinquent peers is an important predictor of delinquent behavior, particularly for boys (Piquero, Gover, MacDonald, & Piquero, 2005; also see Patterson, Dishion, & Yoerger, 2000;Shears & Furman, 2005). Child maltreatment, including child physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and child neglect, are also associated with future violent behavior (Martin, 2005).…”

Comportamentos divergentes e delituosos autorrevelados em adolescentes do sexo masculino estudantes de escolas particulares

“…A tabela 5 dispõe os itens que foram excluídos ou inseridos na versão revisada (2014) do instrumento. (Shears & furman, 2005).…”

“…Hartjen e Priyardasini (2003) observou que quanto maior o tempo gasto com estudo pelos adolescentes menor a quantidade de comportamentos antissociais autorrevelados.Notou-se, ainda, que indivíduos do sexo feminino apresentam maior investimento escolar, ou seja, passam mais tempo estudando ou engajadas em atividades escolares Shears & Furman (2005). verificaram que mesmo após o controle estatístico de raça/etnia o histórico de expulsões e suspensões escolares é um preditor consistente de comportamento delituoso, para afroamericanos, anglos e hispânicos, respectivamente.Frequentar a escola evidenciou-se relevante nesse âmbito também nas conclusões elaboradas por Enzmann et al (2010), que descreveu e comparou os resultados obtidos no Second Internacional Self-Reported Delinquency (ISRD-2) que como na primeira versão (ISRD-I), foi um estudo realizado transculturalmente, por meio de Questionário de Delinquência Autorrevelada.…”
