Abstract

FORMIGA, Nilton Soares. Proving the hypotesis of the convencional commitment: influence of the social-normative peers on the deviant conduct among youngsters. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.4, pp. 602-613. ISSN 1414-9893.

The explanation about youngsters has been related to individual and psychosocial differences. However, the target in the functional and structural dynamic of the family tries to explain this phenomenon in a more consistent way. This work has the objective of evaluating the relation between identifications with the social-normative peers (father, mother and teachers) and the delictive and antisocial conducts. 901 youngsters from João Pessoa and Palmas, from 15 to 21 years old, male and female, answered the scale of antisocial and delictive conduct and also the social-normative identification peers scale(father, mother and teachers), but those groups had a negative relation with both conducts. The identification of youngsters with father, mother and teachers, besides contributing to the social and normative formation of youngsters, will also contribute to the family-school continuum towards a juvenile protection factor.

Keywords : Conventional commitment; Peers; Antisocial and delictive conducts; Youngsters.
