The Relative Influence of Parental Attachment, Peer Attachment, School Attachment, and School Alienation on Delinquency among High School Students in Turkey

Emerging Adult Risky Sexual Behavior Predicted by Parental Overprotection: Moderated Mediation Analysis

“…Results of this study supported (Lohman & Billings, 2008;Nelson et al, 2015). However, it also suggested that at least part of the protective mechanism between parental overprotection and RSB may be related to an increase in peer alienation, which is associated with negative emerging adult outcomes such as higher levels of delinquency, internalizing pathology, and nonsuicidal self-injury (Gandhi et al, 2016;Montgomery et al, 2008;Yuksek & Solakoglu, 2016). Although emerging adults perceiving higher parental overprotection may be less…”

“…Results of this study supported the hypotheses as well as some of the previous research that demonstrated parental control behaviors, specifically perceived parental overprotection, is associated with lower levels of RSB (Lohman & Billings, ; Nelson et al., ). However, it also suggested that at least part of the protective mechanism between parental overprotection and RSB may be related to an increase in peer alienation, which is associated with negative emerging adult outcomes such as higher levels of delinquency, internalizing pathology, and nonsuicidal self‐injury (Gandhi et al., ; Montgomery et al., ; Yuksek & Solakoglu, ). Although emerging adults perceiving higher parental overprotection may be less likely to engage with peer clusters discussed in primary socialization theory, some of which might encourage RSB, the potential benefit may be outweighed by the consequences of fewer prosocial relationships (Crimmins & Seigfried‐Spellar, ; Oetting et al., ).…”

“…The findings provide initial support for the mechanism of parental overprotection's protection from emerging adult RSB via peer alienation. However, the protective influence of parental overprotection may be outweighed by the negative consequences of peer alienation (Gandhi et al., ; Montgomery et al., ; Yuksek & Solakoglu, ). As suggested by primary socialization theory, perceived parental overprotection may predict lower risk of emerging adult risky sexual behavior by decreasing association with deviant peers; however, perceived parental overprotection may also predict lower prosocial relationships (Oetting et al., ).…”

Social Capital and Delinquency: Investigating the Multidimensional Structure of Social Capital and Its Effect on Adolescent Delinquency Among Turkish Youth

“…Arkadaş gruplarında, gruptan dışlanmamak için grubun normlarından birisi olan sigara içmek fiilini yerine getirerek sapkın davranışta bulunan gençler bu duruma örnek olarak verilebilir. Yapılan akademik çalışmalar, gençlerin, sapkın arkadaşlık ilişkilerinden dolayı, suçu destekleyen tutum ve davranışlara maruz kaldıklarında, sapkın faaliyetlerde bulunma olasılıklarının bulunmama olasılıklarından daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir (Demanet & Van Houtte, 2012;Gottfredson, 2001;Yuksek & Solakoglu, 2016). Bu bağlamda, sapkın arkadaşlardan kaynaklanan sapkınlığa maruz kalma sıklığının (mevcut sapkın sosyal bağlar olarak işlevselleştirilen asosyal sermaye formu), gençlerin suçlu davranışlarda bulunmalarında önemli bir rol oynayacağı beklenmelidir.…”

“…Bu kuruluş, 2005 yılında gençlerdeki uyuşturucu sorunlarına bir çözüm ve politika geliştirmek maksadıyla, üye şehirlerinde, "Avrupa'da Gençlik" adı altında bir araştırma projesi başlatmıştır. Bir ECAD üyesi olan İstanbul da bu projeye katılmıştır ve mevcut çalışmadaki veriler bu projeden elde edilmiştir (Yuksek & Solakoglu, 2016). ECAD ile ilgili daha detaylı bilgiye ECAD internet sitesinden ulaşılabilir: http://www.ecad.net.…”
