Description

Since childhood, children can suffer a behavioral and emotional imbalance. They go through a stage of development, called „age crises”. During adolescence, antisocial or prosocial behavior is formed. Antisocial behavior refers to behaviors that violate legal or social rules, aggression, substance use, alcohol and more.
The aim of the current study was to examine and evaluate differences in antisocial behavior to adolescents by gender and age. The sample consists 76 students: 35 girls and 41 boys aged 14 to 18 years. Subjects are high school students in different urban and rural areas from Romania. The research was conducted by administering my own questionnaire that contains 32 questions for antisocial behavior.
Statistical results have shown that there are significant differences in gender and age of antisocial behavior. Most antisocial behaviors in adolescence have occurred from social problems,family and educational problems. In such moments, the understanding, support and emotional communication offered by the family and school environment can have positive results in diminishing this kind of behaviour.
