Abstract

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Florida explores the relationship between delinquent peer association, gender-role stereotypes, and violent behavior in adolescent boys. The research, based on a sample of South Korean adolescents, found that delinquent peer association contributes to the development of gender-role stereotypes in boys, which in turn increases the likelihood of engaging in violent behavior. Gender-role stereotypes were identified as a partial mediator in the link between delinquent peer association and violent behavior in adolescent boys. The study was peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the complex factors influencing violent behavior in youth. [Extracted from the article]
