摘要:The aims of this paper were to establish the occurrence of self- -expressed deviant and antisocial behaviour of adolescents and check whether there are differences in the expressed inclination towards certain types of behaviour with regard to some sociodemographic variables. The gathering of information took place in 1998 on a representative sample of Croatian highschool students (N= 2 823). Antisocial and deviant behaviour was examined by means of an adapted Scale for self-expressing delinquency comprising 36 individual behaviours grouped into six types of behaviour, based on the results of the main components analysis. These were: deviant behaviour, vandalism, thefts, thefts with violence, violence and social pathology. The sociodemographic variables included in the analysis consisted of gender and age of adolescents, school success and repeating a grade, father's and mother's level of education and work status, self-assessment of economic status and the level of urbanisation of the place of education. The occurrence of individual types of behaviour is within the range of 61.5% for "truancy" up to 1.9% for "using violence for extorting money from teachers or adults in school". Analysis according to types of behaviour indicates that the greatest occurrence was registered for deviant behaviour and vandalism, and the smallest for thefts with violence. Analyses concerning sociodemographic variables have established a significant difference in inclinations towards all types of behaviour with regard to gender and general school success of students, while the occurrence of other sociodemographic variables as a significant source of difference depends on the analysed type of behaviour.
