“…In line with our first hypothesis, did higher levels of the behavior problems predict lower positive views on the future in the bivariate analyses. These results expand the nature of links found between the two concurrently and in predictions of behavior problems from future orientation (Alm & Låftman, 2016;Chua et al, 2015;Chichetti et al, 2014;Cui et al, 2020;Kiuru et al, 2007;Sasser et al, 2019;Scholtens et al, 2013;Smokowski et al, 2017;Walker et al, 2020). Thus, behavior problems may impact future outlooks.…”

IntroductionAs adolescents leave high school, plans for the future are of great importance. Future orientation reflects positive thoughts regarding further education, employment, and family life. While future orientation has been found to affect behavior problems, the influence of behavior problems on future orientation is mainly unknown. Positive parent−child and peer relations may boost positive outlooks, but the interplay of behavior problems and social relations for future orientation remains to be studied.MethodsParticipants were 485 adolescents, 54% girls, living in Mid‐Sweden. At age 15, parents and adolescents rated ADHD‐ and internalizing symptoms, parents rated ODD‐symptoms, and adolescents rated their relationship with parents and peers. At age 18, adolescents rated future orientation regarding education, employment, and family, and reported on delinquent acts.ResultsLow levels of inattention symptoms and of delinquency were important for all higher future orientation aspects. In contrast, higher levels of hyperactive‐impulsive symptoms were associated with more positive outlooks on work and family life. Relationships with parents and peers were stronger predictors of future outlooks, compared with behavior problems. There were few interaction effects of behavioral symptoms and social relationship quality.ConclusionsBehavior problems in middle adolescence may negatively affect future outlooks. However, positive social relations, especially relations with peers, seem more important for optimistic views than behavior problems and thus may have a compensatory effect. The clinical implications should be to address the young person's social world, in the case of misgivings about the future, also in the presence of problematic behaviors.

“…Rosenberg et al, 1978). Self-esteem was one of many characteristics which affect the actions of juvenile delinquents and all adolescents, and researchers were apt to consider other factors, such as risk-taking styles, callous unemotional characteristics, and mental health (Barendregt et al, 2015;Jackman & MacPhee, 2017;Walker et al, 2020). Possibly Kaplan's theory explained how juveniles newly incarcerated, which would be hypothesized to be a calamitous low point in one's life, nevertheless, did not demonstrate a low self-esteem in the juvenile delinquent population.…”

The validity of the Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale (SISE) in adolescents was not well established, and how self-esteem manifested in newly incarcerated juvenile delinquents was poorly described. Using a retrospective study with archival records, the SISE was compared to other measures of self-esteem, grit, mental health, and academic self-concept in a small juvenile detention center in the Midwest of the United States. Demographic data were analyzed, and a correlation, intraclass correlation, and kappa statistic were run to test relationships and reliability. The SISE was found to be a reliable and efficient tool to use with adolescents and juvenile delinquents. Policy recommendations applicable to juvenile delinquents and schools in general give direction using the findings.

Nigerian students are at a crossroads because of the rapid erosion of the value system in Nigeria, not because of corruption, unemployment, and poverty. The emergence of social media and peer influence has a different impact. This study explored the effects of social media and peer pressure on moral disengagement among secondary school students in Onitsha North LGA of Anambra State. The research sample size was 400 secondary school students selected through a multi-stage sampling technique from a population of 1,400 secondary school students in 12 government secondary schools in the Onitsha Education Zone. The results show that the presence of participants on social media, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc., is quite high, with more than half of the population 167 (50.9%) always using social media. These findings also reveal the high use of social media among students, which may hurt student life, especially moral life. It was also confirmed that friendship and fun were the main satisfactions students got from social media, with a combined rate of 68% for 238 students. In addition, peer pressure has a negative (but not significant) impact on students' moral disengagement. However, this impact did not reach a substantial proportion at β = 0.06, p > 0.05 (n = 389), which means that the results did not support the first hypothesis, so it was rejected. Social media has a positive and significant impact on students' moral disengagement at β = 0.49, p < 0.05 (n = 389). These findings reveal a directly proportional impact of social media use on students' moral disengagement. It is recommended that parents, teachers, and other guardians regulate internet exposure via social media in teenagers and young adults to prevent them from becoming too busy or becoming addicted.
