Why a leisure context is linked to normbreaking for some girls and not others: Personality characteristics and parent-child relations as explanations

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted of adolescent girls to find out the reasons for their going to the youth center and getting involved with peers and boys. The results indicate that the personality characteristics and the atmosphere at home influence adolescents to a certain extent to go to the youth center. The personality traits are partly responsible for their involvement with boys but the mixing of peers in such centers can describe the normbreaking feature among those who visit these centers.

The adolescent is a whole person

Article Abstract:

It is the period of adolescence when most personality traits are acquired and nurtured. The process of interaction with the social environment determines much of this mental health and development. There has been considerable research on this subject in Europe in recent years. They have developed theoretical models to assess and observe individual behaviour.

Leisure activities and adolescent antisocial behaviour: The role of structure and social context

Article Abstract:

Adolescents who participate in highly structured leisure activities are less likely to become involved in antisocial behaviour. Those whose leisure activities had low structure were more antisocial and more likely to have deviant peer relations and poor parent-child relationships.
