Sažetak

Taxonomies of socially unacceptable behavior differentiate
youth with late- and early-onset. Youth with early onset are
considered riskier. Research showed that parents behavior is
more important for onset, and peers for continuation of risk
behavior in the early-onset group. Peers are more important
for the late-onset group. The present research investigated
differences in the intensity of socially unacceptable behavior
and risk factors among early-onset and late-onset
adolescents, and in the intensity of different risk factors (e.g.
siblings riskiness, behavioral and emotional problems,
parental behavior and peer factors). Participants were 661
male adolescents from Osijek and Zagreb. They were in
three groups: group with low level of socially unacceptable behavior (N = 227), group with late-onset (N = 231), and
group with early-onset (N = 203). Results suggest that
groups with early- and late-onset differ in the intensity of
their socially unacceptable behavior. Three groups differ in
characteristics of their peer group (early-starters have the
riskiest peers and are most influenced by peers), but they
don't differ in the intensity of other risk factors.
