Abstract: | Data from the National Youth Survey (waves one and two) were used to assess the effects of individual students' perceptions
of teacher disapproval on self-reported delinquency. The panel study included youths between the ages of 11 and 17. Consistent
with the labeling perspective, the results indicated that perceptions of teacher disapproval are associated with subsequent
delinquency. This relationship was significant even when controlling for prior delinquency, thus weakening the argument that
labeling is merely a result, and not a cause, of delinquency. The effects did, however, appear to be indirect when measures
of delinquent peer associations were included in the model. |
