This study intends to verify a theoretical model, in which social-normative pairs, cultural orientation and leisure habits explain deviant behavior. 710 men and women, 15 to 20 years, from the private and public education in the city of João Pessoa, responded scales about affiliation with socio-normative peers attributes of cultural orientation, activities, leisure habits, deviant behavior and socio-demographic data. Considering a recursive structural equation model, it showed that the socio-normative peers were associated positively to the cultural attributes of collectivism and instructive leisure habits, and these were negatively associated with deviant behaviors. Moreover, the socio-normative pairs were negatively related with the cultural attributes of individualism and hedonistic pleasure, the latter related positively to deviant behavior.

Keywords : Socio-normative Pairs; Cultural Orientation; Leisure; Deviant Conduct.
