INVESTIGATES THE ATTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITY IN SOCIAL, INTERPERSONAL SITUATIONS BY JUVENILE DELINQUENTS AND NON-DELINQUENTS.

Abstract

JUVENILE DELINQUENTS WHO HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS AND THOSE WHO HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY ARE COMPARED WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH NON-DELINQUENT CHILDREN. IN ORDER TO ASCERTAIN IF THE PATTERN OF ATTRIBUTING RESPONSIBILITY IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS DIFFERS WITH AGE AMONG THE THREE GROUPS, AND WHAT, IF PRESENT, THESE DIFFERENCES ARE, THE STUDY CROSSES THREE AGE LEVELS.
