“…The pairing of these events involving upheaval with having parents who were extremely passive, delinquent in their own behavior, or encouraging of youth delinquent behavior (e.g., social learning theory) seemed to result in youths' delinquency. Other studies have indicated similar results (e.g., Kaplan, 1996;Mack et al, 2007;Zimmer-Gembeck & Locke, 2007), including that of Zimmermann (2006), who confirmed that family structure, particularly that which has been disrupted, was one of the discriminating factors for adolescent boys who engaged in delinquent behaviors.…”

Theories explaining delinquency have been examined primarily using quantitative methods. The current study used interviews to gain insight into the lives of delinquent male adolescents. Results indicate that no single theory best explains delinquency, but a combination of theories provides comprehensive representation.Many theories, such as social control theory, social learning theory, and stress theory, provide an explanation for delinquency and substance abuse in adolescents. Each of these theories adopts a slightly different perspective on the causes of criminal behavior by highlighting specific characteristics that could either prevent or lead to delinquency. A considerable body of research and literature has identified various factors and tested some of these theories (e.g., Bellair, Roscigno, & McNulty, 2003;Zimmermann, 2006); however, the majority, if not all, of these empirical studies have been quantitative. That is, each has been conducted with a priori hypotheses that have directed the study's design and measures. Whereas these studies have produced important results that increase the understanding of delinquent behavior, the voices of delinquent youths have not been heard.These voices can provide a bird's-eye view of youths' experiences, including their home lives, their peers, and how they cope with various situationsproviding personal insight into possible causes of or prevention of engagement in delinquent behavior. The qualitative approach implemented in this study was used with the intention of providing information that may help counselors better understand adolescent delinquent behavior. Qualitative methods provide an effective way to explore the subjective meanings these youths make of their life experiences, and any commonalities among their lives may lead to a better understanding of their current delinquent behavior (Banyard & Miller, 1998). The purposes of this study were to (a) better understand the life situations of juvenile delinquents, (b) determine which theory or theories of delinquent behavior might best provide enlightenment into unruly and offending behaviors (including substance use and abuse), and (c) provide counselors with effective interventions and helping suggestions.

“…The socialization of coping with violence may further explain why shared perspectives are adaptive (Kliewer et al 2006;Power 2004;Zimmer-Gembeck and Locke 2007). According to Kliewer et al (2006) model of coping socialization, children's coping strategies are influenced, in part, by caregiver coaching, or direct suggestions for how to cope with violence.…”

Discrepancies often occur among informants' reports of various domains of child and family functioning and are particularly common between parent and child reports of youth violence exposure. However, recent work suggests that discrepancies between parent and child reports predict subsequent poorer child outcomes. We propose a preliminary conceptual model (Discrepancies in Victimization Implicate Developmental Effects [DiVIDE]) that considers how and why discrepancies between parents' and youths' ratings of child victimization may be related to poor adjustment outcomes. The model addresses how dyadic processes, such as the parent-youth relationship and youths' information management, might contribute to discrepancies. We also consider coping processes that explain why discrepancies may predict increases in youth maladjustment. Based on this preliminary conceptual framework, we offer suggestions and future directions for researchers who encounter conflicting reports of community violence exposure and discuss why the proposed model is relevant to interventions for victimized youths.

“…Temperament of the child is also a contributing factor to coping, but is dynamic and can be altered (Fox et al 2005;Gunnar and Cheatham 2003;Rutter 1983). Intrapersonal self-regulation begins in toddlerhood, and is scaffolded by significant adults who teach and model how to appraise and confront stressful situations (Power 2004;Zimmer-Gembeck and Locke 2007). Middle childhood brings changes in cognition that allows children to co-ordinate coping strategies with others (Skinner and Zimmer-Gembeck 2007).…”

Youth with emotional and behavioral disorders are often dealing with many challenges such as strained relationships, academic difficulties and family conflict in addition to their clinical symptoms. Youth can access intervention for these challenges in day and residential treatment centers. However, little is known about how these adolescents cope with stress or the strategies they use. The purpose for this study was to explore the ways youth report coping with stress, and in particular the active, passive/depressive and risky strategies they report using in response to stress. A second purpose was to explore the relationships between active, passive/depressive and risky strategies and their self-reported psychological difficulties. Using a crosssectional design, 30 adolescents (12-18 years of age, 79 % female) completed standardized measures of psychological difficulties and coping with stress. Youth reported using a variety of strategies to cope, and endorsed learning to live with it, and doing an activity alone as the two most commonly used. There were robust relationships between active (negative association) and risky behaviors (positive association) with psychological difficulties. Implications for family therapy are discussed.
