| Samenvatting |
This study aimed to extend the understanding of anti-social behaviour and its association
with popularity and sociometric status in a sample of at-risk adolescents from diverse
ethnic backgrounds (n ¼ 1491, average age 14.7 years). Both overt and covert types of antisocial
behaviour were used to distinguish subgroups. These subgroups were created on the
basis of anti-social behaviour profile scores, using Latent Class Analysis. Moderator effects
of gender and ethnic background were investigated using a log-linear analysis. The main
finding was that each sociometric status group consisted of subgroups that differed in
terms of prevalence of self-reported anti-social behaviour. At-risk young adolescents who
reported involvement in anti-social behaviour appeared in every status group, including
the popular group. Implications for school prevention programmes for anti-social behaviour
are discussed. |
