The Influence Of Significant Others Behavior On Adolescents' Deviation Behavior

According to relevant statistics,the problem of adolescents' deviation behavior has become a widespread phenomenon in society,which has also attracted strongly the attention from all sectors of society.Academically,this study establishes a theoretical model based on the guidance of social control theory and differential association theory.The research uses the method of empirical analysis to analyze the direct influence of parents,teachers and peer groups on adolescent's deviant behavior so that it can verify the effect of significant others behavior for adolescent's deviant behavior.In this study,the author use the data of the China Education Panel Survey(CEPS)as the sample.And the statistical analysis software SPSS24.0 is adopted for data processing and analysis.9449 valid samples are obtained in the study,males and females respectively account for 52.2%and 47.8%.,with the average age of 14.55(S.D.=0.71).Using AMOS21.0 software,three aspects are tested to analyze the effect of significant others behavior on adolescent's deviant behavior,including parental supervision,teachers supervision and peers deviation behavior.The measurement model result shows that the standardized factor loading values range from 0.587 to 0.915,and the model has a good fit index(?2=258.748,df=24,p<.001;CFI=0.992;RMSEA=0.032).The results of the structural equation model verification are good,?2=4479.476,(df=114),p<.001;RMSEA=0.06;GIF=0.941,the model fit can be accepted,and the interpretation of the influence of significant others behavior is 22.7%on the deviant behavior of adolescents.The results demonstrate that the parental supervision is negatively correlated with adolescent's deviant behavior(?=-.146,p<.001),the higher degree of parental supervision,the lower level of adolescent's deviant behavior.At the same time,there is a negative correlation between teachers supervision and adolescent's deviant behavior(?=-.0.85,p<.001),indicating that the increase of teacher supervision can adversely affect on the deviation behavior of adolescents.In addition,the deviation behavior of peers is significantly positively correlated with the deviation behavior of the adolescents(?=.387,p<.001),indicating that the reduction of peers' deviation behavior could help the positive change for deviant adolescent.This paper has value theoretical and practical contributions.Theoretically,the study proves that society control theory and differential association theory can be applied in China.The theoretical model explains significant others play an important role in the bias behavior of adolescents,which can provide theoretical references for other related researches.Practically,the research conclusions are able to provide an empirical support for the improvement of social policies,and the development of evidence-based social work.
