TY - JOUR ID - 1739609 AU - Vazsonyi, Alexander T. - Kšiňanová, Gabriela - Kšiňan, Albert - Blatný, Marek PY - 2016 TI - An empirical test of self-control theory in Roma adolescents JF - JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE VL - 44 SP - 66-76 EP - 66-76 PB - ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV SN - 00472352 KW - Roma KW - Romani KW - Self-control KW - Cross-cultural KW - Deviance KW - Parenting N2 - Purpose: The current study tested the applicability of self-control theory in Roma adolescents, one of the largest ethnic minorities in Europe; it compared mean levels in deviance measures and correlates (parenting and low self-control) in Roma versus non-Roma Czech youth. Methods: Questionnaire data were collected from Roma (n = 239, 47.5% female, M-age = 14.02) and non-Roma (n = 130, 47.7% female, M-age = 14.71) adolescents residing in the Czech Republic. Measures included maternal parenting processes, low self-control, and deviance (alcohol use, school misconduct, and theft). Results: Findings from SEM analyses provided evidence that perceived maternal support predicted lower deviance both directly and indirectly via low self-control, while perceived maternal conflict predicted lower self-control and higher deviance. No differences were found between Roma and non-Roma adolescents in mean deviance scores or in the links between parenting, low self-control, and deviance. Conclusion: Roma adolescents did not differ from ethnic Czech adolescents in rates of deviance or the developmental processes focused on age-appropriate indicators of deviance. Thus, this evidence further extends the reach of Gottfredson and Hirschi's seminal theoretical work to ethnic minorities outside of North America. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. ER -
