“…Socially unacceptable behaviors or behavioral problems are becoming more frequent, especially among young people (Stojković, Dimoski, and Eminović 2013), which is also contributed by the frequency of changes in value systems (Đuranović and Opić, 2013).…”

The values of youth direct behavior towards achieving specific value goals. Schwartz's theory of universal content and value structure plays a significant role in the theoretical understanding of values and value systems, according to which values are desirable goals of varying importance that represent the guiding principles in the life of an individual (Schwartz, 1992). Socially unacceptable behaviors are behaviors that deviate from everyday habitual behavior, and are dangerous to the person and the environment and therefore require professional and professional help (Uzelac, 1995). Depending on whether such behaviors pose a greater danger to the person himself or his environment, we are talking about internalized and externalized behaviors. In addition to Schwartz's theory, values as possible predictors of socially unacceptable behavior are also discussed by the theory of social learning, the theory of anomie, the theory of self-determination. By reviewing the researches about connection of youth values with unacceptable behavior, which is the goal of this review, it can be concluded that most of the research points out that in explaining internalized behavioral problems it is important what kind of culture of society one belongs to, and significant values that are associated with the emergence of internalized problems are traditional and modernist (but also the values of achievement), while the characteristics of personality are more important for the explanation of externalized problems, and significant values associated with externalized problems are the values of power, incentives, hedonism, openness to change and the value of one's own gain.

The aim of this paper was to determine if there are significant differences in the variables of the local and general environment between adolescents who have not had any contact with drugs and those who use and distribute drugs. The examination of these differences was carried out on a two-stage random sample of 1286 high school students in Belgrade, of both sexes, between the ages of 15 and 19. All data were collected by a specially constructed questionnaire in a completely anonymous situation. Analysis of the data on the differences between drug-free and drug-using adolescents was performed by canonical discriminant analysis, especially for boys and especially for girls. In the difference analysis, one significant discriminative function was obtained for boys, whose canonical correlation was of the order of .616. That function is defined by the easy availability of drugs in the local environment, but some other variables of the local and general environment also played a significant role in the structure of that function. For girls, one discriminative function was also isolated, with the correlation of .540. That function is also defined by the ease of availability of the drug. In the structure of that function, certain differences can be observed in relation to this structure in boys. Research data undoubtedly show that when choosing preventive interventions, special attention must be paid to the form of abuse that manifests itself as the simultaneous use and distribution of drugs, and to the factors from these two environments that influence the behavior.
