the longitudinal role of self concept clarity and best friend Delinquency in adolescent delinquent behavior
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2019Co-Authors: Emma K V Levey, Wim Meeus, Claire F Garandeau, Susan J T BranjeAbstract:Adolescence tends to be characterized by a temporary peak in delinquent behavior, and friends in particular play a key role in the initiation and the development of Delinquency. However, adolescents differ in their susceptibility to friends’ influence on Delinquency. Especially adolescents who are less certain about who they are might show more delinquent behavior, and might be more susceptible to their friends’ behaviors, as friends are also crucial for adolescents’ identity formation. In addition to examining the main effects of best friend’s Delinquency and self-concept clarity on the development of adolescents’ Delinquency, the current study scrutinized whether self-concept clarity moderated the longitudinal association between adolescents’ and their best friends’ self-reported delinquent behavior. The current study examined whether best friend Delinquency and adolescent self-concept clarity were related to the development of adolescents’ Delinquency, and whether self-concept clarity moderated the relation between adolescent and best friend Delinquency. Dutch adolescents (N = 497, Mage Wave 1 = 13 years, 287 boys) and their best friends participated across six annual waves. Both adolescents and best friends reported on their Delinquency and adolescents reported on their self-concept clarity. Adolescent Delinquency linearly declined, and although adolescents’ and best friends' Delinquency levels were related, changes in Delinquency of adolescents and best friends were not. Adolescents low on self-concept clarity reported higher levels of Delinquency. Self-concept clarity also moderated the relation between adolescent and best friend Delinquency levels, with stronger relations observed for adolescents with lower self-concept clarity. Future research should examine the protective role of self-concept clarity not only against delinquent behavior, but also against susceptibility to peer influence.

financial problems and Delinquency in adolescents and young adults a 6 year three wave study
Crime & Delinquency, 2016Co-Authors: Machteld Hoeve, Wim Meeus, Suzanne Jak, G J J M StamsAbstract:The present study examined the link between financial problems and Delinquency in adolescents and young adults (N = 1,258). Using three measurement waves that covered a time span of 6 years, we conducted cross-lagged panel analyses. Overall, we found evidence that financial problems increase the risk of Delinquency, and vice versa. Effects of Delinquency on financial problems were larger than the other way around. In addition, a longer term (6 year) effect of Delinquency on financial problems was found, whereas this effect was not found for financial problems to Delinquency. Gender and age did not moderate the financial problem–Delinquency link, suggesting that the bidirectional effect between financial problems and Delinquency applies to adolescent and young adult males and females. Finally, we found some evidence to suggest that the indirect effects became stronger over time.

reciprocal effects between parental solicitation parental control adolescent disclosure and adolescent Delinquency
Journal of Research on Adolescence, 2010Co-Authors: Loes Keijsers, Susan Branje, Inge Vandervalk, Wim MeeusAbstract:This two-wave multi-informant study examined the bidirectional associations of parental control and solicitation with adolescent disclosure and Delinquency. Participants were 289 adolescents (150 females and 139 males, modal age 14) and both parents. Parental solicitation and control did not predict adolescent Delinquency, but adolescents' self-reported disclosure was a negative predictor of Delinquency. In addition, Delinquency predicted less disclosure. Furthermore, maternal solicitation predicted disclosure and adolescent disclosure predicted parental solicitation. All relations held after controlling for leisure time spent with parents and with peers. These longitudinal findings show an overlap in the development of parental solicitation and the development of adolescent disclosure, but also show that only adolescent disclosure is negatively related to Delinquency over time.

sports participation and juvenile Delinquency the role of the peer context among adolescent boys and girls with varied histories of problem behavior
Developmental Psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Margo Gardner, Jodie L Roth, Jeanne BrooksgunnAbstract:In a study of 1,344 urban adolescents, the authors examined the relation between participation in organized sports and juvenile Delinquency. They compared youth who participated in sports to those who only participated in nonathletic activities and to those who did not participate in any organized activities. They also examined the indirect relations between sports and Delinquency via 2 peer-related constructs-deviant peer affiliations and unstructured socializing. Finally, they examined the extent to which gender and prior externalizing problems moderated the direct and indirect relations between sports participation and Delinquency. The authors found that the odds of nonviolent Delinquency were higher among boys who participated in sports when compared to boys who participated only in nonathletic activities but not when compared to boys who did not participate in any organized activities. Deviant peer affiliations and unstructured socializing mediated the relation between sports participation and boys' nonviolent Delinquency. Moreover, prior externalizing problems moderated the mediated path through peer deviance. The authors did not, however, find direct, mediated, or moderated relations between sports and boys' violent Delinquency nor between sports and girls' violent or nonviolent Delinquency. Language: en

determinants of credit card Delinquency and bankruptcy macroeconomic factors
Social Science Research Network, 2005Co-Authors: Sumit Agarwal, Chunlin LiuAbstract:In this paper, we examine how county unemployment rates affect consumers' Delinquency and bankruptcy behavior by focusing on the credit card market. In particular, after controlling for credit supply and shocks like divorce and health coverage we investigate whether consumer propensity for Delinquency and bankruptcy changes with respect to the macro economic fluctuations across counties. Our results show that county unemployment rates significantly influence Delinquency.
