| Description | Relative to other age groups, adolescents have a disproportionately higher risk of engaging in problem behaviours that can have serious consequences for the individual, their family, friends and the community (Bartlett, Holditch-Davis, and Belyea 2007). Problem Behaviour Theory (Jessor and Jessor 1977) is a psychosocial model used to explain dysfunction and maladaptation in adolescence. It suggests that proneness to specific problem behaviours entails involvement in other problem behaviours and less participation in conventional behaviours. The theory has previously been employed to investigate a wide range of behaviours defined socially as a problem or undesirable, and which elicit a negative social response. The generality and robustness of the theory have been tested investigating behavioural outcomes such as substance use, deviancy, delinquency and risky sexual behaviours.
