“…Rosenberg and colleagues (1989) found that low self-esteem fostered delinquency and that continuing engaging in delinquency could enhance selfesteem. In a recent study Shin and Yu (2012) also noted that young people's self-esteem could be enhanced once their problem behaviors had received peer support, and their increasing self-esteem could further promote their engagement in problem behavior. Putting together, it was undeniable that empirical results supporting the notion of low self-esteem being predictive of delinquency were rather inconsistent.…”

“…This suggested that negative beliefs about oneself played a stronger role in leaning toward delinquency than did an erosion of positive self-attitudes. Shin and Yu (2012) found that students who could not gain teachers' or parents' assurance were more likely to seek acceptance from their peers by involving in delinquent behaviors. In a study of possible selves and negative health behaviors during early adolescence, Aloise-Young and colleagues (2001) suggested that adolescent cigarette smoking and alcohol use were related negatively to the number of positive expected selves and the balance between expected selves and feared selves.…”

“…Subsequent to Kaplan's postulation of the selfderogation model, a number of studies have found some empirical support for the notion of a negative association between low self-esteem and delinquency (e.g. Donnellan et al 2005;Kaplan, Johnson, and Bailey 1986;Owens 1994;Shin and Yu 2012). Using a longitudinal design, Kaplan and colleagues showed that negative self beliefs (e.g.…”

While external factors such as family and peers were widely known to be predictive of juvenile delinquency, mixed results were reported regarding the effects of internal (personal) variables such as self-concept and moral reasoning maturity. The present study was to delineate the effects of two variables relating to the self (self-esteem, moral self) and the moral reasoning maturity in predicting delinquency. A sample of 266 young people aged between 17 and 21 were invited to complete a questionnaire composed of global self-concept (self-esteem) scale, moral self scale, moral reasoning test, and a daily behavior checklist. Regression and correlation analyses indicated that moral self and moral reasoning were in general negatively associated with delinquency, but global self-esteem did not have significant linear relation with delinquency. Polynomial contrast tests revealed that moral reasoning and moral self to certain extent had a linear trend with delinquency negatively, but global self-esteem exhibited a curvilinear (U-shape) trend with some but not all delinquent behaviors such as sexual misconduct, drug offenses, gambling. The results were then discussed in the light of self-derogation theory and other relevant theories such as the "threatened ego" and the multidimensional model of self-concept, and hopefully could throw lights to explain the phenomenon for further research.

“…In line with the notion, Donnellan et al found significant relationship between low self-esteem and delinquency [12], which was consistently found across age groups and different measurement methods. Similarly, in a study on Korean adolescents, Shin and Yu found that young people could have their self-esteem enhanced when their problem behaviour received peer support [14], which would in turn promote further engagement in problem behaviour. Aunola et al also found that low self-esteem increased individuals' use of maladaptive achievement strategies, such as failure expectations, task-irrelevant behaviour and passivity, and school maladjustment like non-involvement in school activities, which then increased externalizing problem behaviour [18].…”

“…To date, empirical findings regarding the relationship between selfesteem and anti-social or deviant behavior are not consensual. Some findings have been reported to support the notion that low self-esteem is associated with high levels of delinquency [12][13][14], while some other research findings are contradictory to the notion [15][16][17]. In line with the notion, Donnellan et al found significant relationship between low self-esteem and delinquency [12], which was consistently found across age groups and different measurement methods.…”

This study attempted to investigate the predictive effects of self-concept, social networking site (SNS) intensity on delinquency. A total of 216 secondary school students from Hong Kong completed the Chinese Adolescent Self-Esteem Scales (CASES), the Facebook Intensity Scale and a daily behaviour checklist. Findings revealed that usage of Social Network Sites (SNS) and some facets of self-esteem had direct and moderating effects on predicting delinquency and minor deviant behaviour, but global self-esteem did not have significant predictive effects on delinquency. Different effects were found between domain-specific self-concepts and delinquency, such that intellectual, moral and family self-concepts had linear negative relationship with delinquent behavior, whereas engaging in delinquent behaviour were associated with higher appearance self. Use of SNS contributed to higher rates of both delinquent behaviour and minor deviant behaviour. In particular, time spent in SNS was a very strong predictor of delinquent behaviour, and moderated the effect of appearance self-concept. Discussion of findings were enlightened by the notion of "threatened ego" and the "self-derogation theory".

‘School connectedness’ is one of a number of terms used to describe a young person's relationship to school. With school being a compulsory feature of most young people's lives, the nature of this relationship can be highly influential in terms of the quality of their overall school experience. Young people experiencing low connectedness are more likely to withdraw from school and experience the parlous outcomes that often follow. This study used a mixed methods approach to explore the meanings of being connected with school, how this process is understood by students and staff, and how it is shaped by school and individual factors. The study was conducted at a secondary college in outer metropolitan Melbourne. Data collection involved a student questionnaire, student and staff focus groups, and student diaries. Findings indicate that that year level, cigarette use, and involvement in the choice of school were associated with significant differences in connectedness scores. Qualitative data revealed that students experience their connection to school through the relational, activity-based, and academic opportunities available to them in the school setting. It is argued that the findings from this study could be used to frame effective risk reduction or protection-enhancing interventions in schools.
