  • Title: Childhood aggression and unconventionality: impact on later academic achievement, drug use, and workforce involvement.
    Author: Brook JS, Newcomb MD.
    Journal: J Genet Psychol; 1995 Dec; 156(4):393-410. PubMed ID: 8543928.
    Abstract:
    The interrelation of childhood aggression, unconventionality, academic orientation, work involvement, and drug use was explored. Data were obtained for the research participants when they were 5 to 10 years old. Follow-up interviews were conducted when the participants were 15 to 20 years old and again at 21 to 26 years old. Latent variable causal analysis was used, and the findings reveal long-term relations between early childhood aggression and adolescent problem behavior in the academic and occupational areas. The findings also indicate that adolescent drug use generates an early involvement with adult role behaviors, such as work at the expense of further education. Implications of the findings for prevention are discussed.
