    Adolescents attribute deviant behavior to social, environmental, and nonrational psychological factors. This understanding evolves from childhood theories of deviance, highlighting developmental shifts in social cognition.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Child Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Previous research indicates age-related changes in children's attributions for deviant behaviors.
    • Children develop a social psychiatric theory of deviance by late elementary school.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine attributions for deviant behavior in early and middle adolescents.
    • To extend prior research on childhood attributions to adolescent development.

    Main Methods:

    • The study investigated adolescents' explanations for deviant actions.
    • Analysis focused on developmental changes in attributional reasoning.

    Main Results:

    • Adolescents attribute deviant behavior to a combination of factors.

  • These factors include social influences, environmental circumstances, and internal psychological states.
  • Nonrational psychological states emerged as a significant attributional factor.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adolescent attributions for deviance are multifaceted.
    • Developmentally, adolescents integrate social, environmental, and psychological factors in understanding deviance.
    • This reflects a more complex cognitive framework compared to younger children.
