“…28 Number of elementary schools attended taps disruption in the child's relationship to school; it may also reflect the family's residential or marital stability. 29 We measured family bonds by whether the student was raised in a nuclear or disrupted family (with the latter defined as one in which 1 or both natural parents were absent) and whether the student reported that he or she discussed personal problems with his or her parents.…”

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to identify early predictors of adolescent violence and to assess whether they vary by sex and across different types and levels of violence. METHODS: Data from a 5-year longitudinal self-report survey of more than 4300 high school seniors and dropouts from California and Oregon were used to regress measures of relational, predatory, and overall violence on predictors measured 5 years earlier. RESULTS: Deviant behavior in grade 7, poor grades, and weak bonds with middle school predicted violent behavior 5 years later. Attending a middle school with comparatively high levels of cigarette and marijuana use was also linked with subsequent violence. Early drug use and peer drug use predicted increased levels of predatory violence but not its simple occurrence. Girls with low self-esteem during early adolescence were more likely to hit others later on; boys who attended multiple elementary schools were also more likely to engage in relational violence. CONCLUSIONS: Violence prevention programs for younger adolescents should include efforts to prevent or reduce troublesome behavior in school and poor academic performance. Adolescent girls may also profit from efforts to raise self-esteem; adolescent boys may need extra training in resisting influences that encourage deviant behavior. Programs aimed at preventing drug use may yield an added violence-reduction bonus.

“…Toujours selon cette perspective, les comportements déviants des élèves TC seraient des manifestations proactives ou réactives pour affronter un environnement jugé hostile et anxiogène et augmenter leurs perceptions de contrôle (Adelman et Taylor, 1990;Elliott, 1997;Brehm et Brehm, 1981;Jackson, Frick et Dravage-Bush, 2000). Ainsi, les problèmes de comportement seraient médiatisés, en partie du moins, par les difficultés d'apprentissage, ces dernières agissant comme des facteurs de risque (Margalit et Efrati, 1996;Saner et Ellickson, 1996).…”

Résumé À partir d’une approche cognitive de la motivation à apprendre, cette recherche examine les caractéristiques motivationnelles des garçons du secondaire en difficulté d’apprentissage ou en trouble de comportements, en comparant ces derniers à des élèves ordinaires du même sexe. Un questionnaire a servi à évaluer les perceptions des participants concernant l’encouragement des agents sociaux, la conception de l’intelligence, les attentes de succès ainsi que la valeur accordée aux matières scolaires en français ou en mathématiques. Les résultats montrent que la motivation à apprendre est moins enviable chez les élèves présentant des troubles, comparativement aux cas d’élèves ordinaires. Ces résultats soulignent aussi que la motivation des élèves en difficulté d’apprentissage s’avère encore plus préoccupante.

“…Research findings suggest that substance use is associated with criminal behavior (Baron & Hartnagel, 1997, 1998Carpenter et al, 1988;Desai et al, 2000;Hagan & McCarthy, 1992;1997;Hirschi, 1984;Keane et al, 1989;Saner & EUickson, 1996;Steadman et al, 1998). Keane and colleagues (Keane et al, 1989) investigated the relationship between drug use and adolescent contact with police.…”
