    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Antisocial feelings in adolescents can stem from various factors.
    • Understanding the influences on midteen (15-16 year olds) antisocial behavior is crucial for intervention.
    • Parental influence and adolescent perception of family dynamics play a significant role in development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the existence of antisocial feelings in midteens.
    • To identify potential sources contributing to these feelings, particularly focusing on parental education and parent-teen disagreement.
    • To examine the relationship between anomie, rebellion, and rearing theories in adolescents.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered L. Srole's Anomia Scale to 174 midteens.
    • Utilized author-devised tests: Inventory of Midteen Rearing Theories and Rebellion Scale.
    • Correlated parental education levels and perceived parent-teen disagreement with anomie and rebellion scores.

    Main Results:

    • Increased parental education (fathers and mothers) was significantly associated with decreased midteen anomie and rebellion.
    • Midteen anomie and rebellion positively correlated with perceived disagreement between parents and teens regarding rearing.
    • Rejection of school as a worthwhile occupation was linked to extremely rebellious feelings.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental education is a protective factor against midteen antisocial feelings.
    • Parent-teen conflict over upbringing and adolescent attitudes towards education are significant contributors to rebellion.
    • Interventions should consider strengthening parent-teen communication and addressing adolescent views on education.
