“…The lower prevalence of smoking and diet pill and amphetamine use to lose weight among Black, compared with White, high school seniors is difficult to interpret. These data from the Monitoring the Future study may not be representative of Black adolescents in general, perhaps because of higher school dropout rates among Blacks and the substantially higher smoking prevalence among dropouts (Bachman, O'Malley, & J. Johnston, 1978;Ekstrom, Goertz, Pollack, & Rock, 1986;Flay et al, 1989;L. D. Johnston, personal communication, May 12, 1989;Pirie et al, 1988).…”

Used data on 3,305 high school seniors collected as part of the 1984 Monitoring the Future project to examine the relationships among cigarette use, diet pill use, and use of amphetamines for weight loss. Results indicate that females were more likely than males to report use of all three substances. In addition, Whites were more likely than Blacks to use all three substances. Both female and male smokers were more likely than nonsmokers to use diet pills. Amphetamine use for weight loss was positively related to smoking among females, but not among males. The relationships between smoking and diet pill use, and smoking and amphetamine use to lose weight, were maintained when race, sex, and other drug use were controlled simultaneously. Two explanations for these relationships are considered. The first is that smoking is related to the use of most other licit and illicit drugs. The second explanation is that there is a greater preoccupation with weight among smokers, with weight concerns potentially motivating the initiation of smoking.

“…In his attempt to improve on the study by Farnworth and Leiber (1989), Agnew (1994) also used secondary data, this time from the national youth in Transition survey (Bachman et al, 1978). These data were from the baseline surveys of Bachman et al's (1978) longitudinal study and included a proposed national representation of 10thgrade boys in the United States from 1966.…”

“…Although Agnew (1994) pointed out the flaws in Farnworth and Leiber's (1989) study, he committed similar missteps. Agnew (1994) sought to rectify the ambiguities in the Farnworth and Leiber (1989) study, by analyzing the results of the youth in Transition survey (Bachman et al, 1978). The survey allowed youth to state their desired level of weekly income (what they believed "would be enough"), thus avoiding the conundrum of relativity with defining "lots of money" (p. 412).…”

“…Although the correlation between materialism and delinquency has been repeatedly examined (Agnew, 1994;Anderson, 1999;Cloward & Ohlin, 1960;Farnworth & Leiber, 1989;Greenberg, 1977), youth voice and perception are noticeably absent from the literature. Specifically, numerous scholars have sought to verify, or alternately, disprove such connections through the use of longitudinal survey data (Agnew, 1994;Bachman, O'Malley, & Johnston, 1978;Farnworth & Leiber, 1989;Paternoster & Mazerolle, 1994). However, these same scholars have not personally met the participants in these studies whose voices are limited to the survey questions and response options.…”

“I Want to Have the American Dream”: Messages of Materialism as a Driving Force in Juvenile Recidivism

Youth in the United States are raised with the message that economic achievement and the American Dream are the only means to obtain true success and happiness. Those youth who face barriers to these standards of achievement, however, internalize any shortcomings as their own personal failure, heightening the appeal of criminal means of monetary gain. Scholars have explored the correlation between materialism and youth crime, but have done so without involving youth in research about themselves. In this study, a content analysis was conducted of 1,008 writing samples from incarcerated youth in an effort to prioritize youth voice and perspective. Messages of materialism and its deleterious effects frequently emerged as prominent concerns for these youths. Incarcerated youth are missing interventions to devitalize materialism’s function as a motivating or justifying factor in criminal or delinquent acts, thus contributing to reoffending when they fail to achieve their economic goals through legal means.

“…Moreover, studies indicate that deviant self-appraisal is more important for understanding delinquency than broader measures of self-concept, such as self-esteem. In fact, this line of inquiry indicates that global selfesteem measures, as indicators of self-concept, are modestly or inconsistently related to delinquency (Bachman et al, 1978;Bamberg, 2011;Bynner et al, 1981;Kaplan, 1976;Restivo & Lanier, 2015;Rocque et al, 2016).…”

This study examines deviant identity in relation to youth offending by combining items tapping both self-appraisal and reflected appraisal. In particular, using survey data from 3,446 Korean youth across five waves of the Korea Youth Panel Survey (KYPS), findings from group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) present four distinct offending groups—a high-rate chronic group, stable non-offending group, adolescence-limited group, and declining group. Then, findings from the multinomial logit model reveal that deviant identity is a robust predictor of offending for subgroups of adolescents involved in offending at any level in comparison to stable non-offenders. Accordingly, this study supports the idea that deviant identity should be considered as a prominent predictor of a variety of types of youth offending.
