“…In general, the word "deviant" (from Latin deviatio) means an abnormality (Collinsdictionary.com). Each year, the number of pupils with deviant behavior (also known as aberrant behavior) in general education schools steadily increases (Hayden, 2007;Damron-Bell, 2011). Aberrant behavior may not only lead to problems that include peer-pressure, bullying, and violence right within a school setting, but to also more serious consequences such as social maladaptation and crime (Rodger, 2008;Furniss, 2000).…”

Deviant behavior has become a daunting problem lately. More pupils are displaying abnormal behavior and thus destabilizing learning processes within school settings. It is a well-known fact that teenagers usually learn how to adapt to society and that aberrant behavior may lead to problems with conformity to societal values. Although the main causes of deviant behavior have been elucidated, the problem, despite numerous studies, deviant behavior has not been fully understood by scholars. The notion of deviance is closely related to the definition of the social norm which was defined almost a hundred years ago. The present study aims to examine causes and effects of deviant behavior, and identify main strategies to combat the issue. The research methods employed included a theoretical framework analysis, literature review, and qualitative research. A set of recommendations for the teenagers with deviant behaviour and their parents were identified to help them adjust to society.

“…Some factors that seemingly influence adolescents’ deviant behavior are the changes in their psychosocial, physical body, cognitive and behavioral attitudes that make them more prone to norm-breaking behavior. According to Damron-Bell (2011) , identifying vices is motivated by the peer pressure, curiosity, and the idea of being mature. Participation of youth in deviant behaviors maybe characterized by impulsiveness and recklessness of actions.…”

In previous decades, numerous involvements of adolescents in deviant behavior have been increasing, and previous researchers examined different variables that may influence these phenomena. This study was designed to look for the possible predictors of deviant behavior, as well as its association with family satisfaction and personality traits. The study was conducted on 1500 participants ages 12–19 years old from selected schools in Nueva Ecija. The researchers used the Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (DBVS) by Sanches et al. (2016). It consists of 19 items (minor and severe) of a variety of deviant action such as thefts, drug and alcohol consumption, verbal and physical aggression, possession of weapons, vandalism, truancy, lies and defiance of authority, and selling drugs among adolescents (Sanches et al., 2016). Out of 1500 samples, 1227 met the criteria for the deviant behavior scale. Descriptive and Inferential statistics such as Mean, sd, frequency, percentage, Regression analysis, Pearson-correlation, and Mann Whitney U test were used to analyze this study. The research found that there are differences in levels of deviant behavior (Minor and Severe infractions) among sexes. Results showed that female participants have higher tendency to engage in minor infractions of deviant acts, while males had a higher rate of participation in severe infractions of deviant acts. Moreover, there is a negative/inverse association between family satisfaction and deviant behavior. This implies that respondents who participate more in deviant behaviors are found to be less satisfied with their family life, while respondents who participate less in deviant behavior are more satisfied in their family life. Lastly, the current study found that personality trait-agreeableness is found to be the best predictor of deviant behavior among adolescents.

“…Quite often, this 'awkward age' goes hand in hand with contradictory actions, sometimes even inappropriate responses of adolescents in relation to the environment, which is often assessed by adults as a deviation from the social behavior framework. As a rule, a drastic change in behavior goes along with irritability, bad manners, and unwillingness to follow generally accepted rules, which can contribute to the development of a tendency to deviant behavior that negatively affects a child's immediate environment, classmates, and teachers [2].…”
