This research contributes to the cloud computing (CC) literature and information science research by addressing the reality of information sharing and storage behavior (ISSB) of the users' personal information via CC. Gathering information about usage also allows this research to address the paradox between the research and practice. Additionally, this research explores the concept of trust and its role in the behavioral change relative to CC. The findings help reconcile the paradox between the two realms. Essay1 develops and tests cloud computing usage model (CCUM) that assesses ISSB. This model considers the main adoption determinants and the main drawbacks of CC. The study measures the main concerns of users found in the literature, perceived security and perceived privacy. The findings prove surprising on these concerns. Using multiple regression to analyze 129 valid survey responses, the results find that CC users are less concerned about the major issues of security and privacy and will use the technology based on peer usage. Essay 2 examines why users ignore the technology issues and elect to replace the traditional mechanisms for handling their personal information. The results of an interview-based study conducted on 11 normal users and 11 IT professionals clarify their perceptions about CC and examine its readiness to handle their information from an end-user perspective. Essay 3 explores the CC literature to identify the major factors associated with the users' trust beliefs. The research conducted in this essay groups these factors into three categories. The posited and tested model examines the effect of perceived trust on ISSB. A structural equation modeling approach is used to analyze 1228 valid responses and tests the developed cloud computing trust model. The results provide multiple implications for CC researchers, managers, and service providers.

Volunteering is a really actual issue in abroad and in the Czech republic, too. It is a necessary part of good working civic society. Activities connected with volunteering is desirable to support and pay attention to them. This thesis handles the topic of young people in the age between 20 and 24 and volunteering. It tries to explore the role of family and peers in young peoples' volunteering. Its aim is to describe the perception of volunteering and the importance/sens for young volunteers. Is there a difference between the welfare and mutual field of voluteering? Also it handles the experiences and reasons for choices of type of concrete volunteering activity. There has been a qualitative research conducted within this thesis. The method of focus group and document analysis were used for it.

Afin de rendre compte de la spécificité des comportements à risque des adolescents, les modèles neurocognitifs récents ont proposé d'envisager la compétition entre deux systèmes caractérisés par des trajectoires développementales différentes : un système socio-émotionnel et un système de contrôle cognitif. En effet, l'engagement des adolescents dans des conduites à risque pourrait s'expliquer par une hypersensibilité émotionnelle exacerbée par des contextes sociaux saillant comme la présence de pairs, auquel s'ajoute une immaturité des processus de contrôle nécessaires à la régulation de ces émotions. Toutefois, l'ensemble de ces modèles négligent l'influence du niveau d'incertitude associées aux situations de prise de risque, alors même que les travaux de psychologie du développement témoignent de capacités différentes dans les situations de prise de décision à risque et les situations de prise de décision sous ambiguïté chez les adolescents. Ces derniers semblent en effet parfaitement capables d'intégrer des informations probabilistes et les enjeux associés aux différentes options, mais présentent des difficultés à décider avantageusement dès lors que ces informations ne sont plus directement disponibles mais doivent être inférées sur la base de leur propre expérience. Ainsi, l'objectif général de ce travail de thèse consistait à examiner l'influence du niveau d'incertitude et du contexte social sur la prise de risque à l'adolescence. Après avoir démontré dans une première étude que les adultes étaient massivement aversifs face aux situations associées à un manque d'information probabiliste, nous avons examiné la trajectoire développementale fine de ce phénomène d'aversion à l'ambiguïté chez l'enfant, l'adolescent et l'adulte. Cette étude contribue à définir l'aversion à l'ambiguïté comme une stratégie intuitive apparaissant progressivement au début de l'adolescence et mais suggère une aversion à l'ambiguïté aussi marquée chez les adolescents de 14-16 ans que chez les adultes. Ensuite, notre troisième étude avait pour objectif de clarifier l'impact du niveau d'information sur l'engagement des adolescents dans la prise de risque, à travers une comparaison directe entre des situations dites informées et non informées. Nos résultats démontrent que les adolescents présentent des difficultés à ajuster leurs réponses au niveau de risque dans les situations non-informées alors que la simple disponibilité d'indices concernant le niveau de risque les conduit à des performances similaires à celles des adultes. La réunion de nos trois premières études suggère ainsi que la prise de risque exacerbée des adolescents résulte davantage d'un déficit d'apprentissage basé sur les feedbacks, plutôt que d'une tendance générale à explorer les situations risquées ambigües. Face à ce constat, la quatrième étude visait à clarifier l'impact d'une influence sociale risquée ou prudente sur l'engagement des adolescents dans la prise de risque selon le niveau d'incertitude de la situation. Cette dernière étude nous a ainsi permis de souligner l'influence positive de l'expérience des pairs sur les conduites à risque des adolescents et de mettre en exergue le rôle spécifique de l'expérience d'autrui comme une information de nature sociale susceptible de compenser leur difficulté à apprendre sur la base de leur propre expérience. / In order to account for the characteristics of risk-taking specific to adolescence, new neurocognitive models presuppose a competition between two systems with distinct developmental trajectories: an emotional system and a top-down control system. Indeed, heightened risk-taking in adolescence could result from increased emotional sensitivity in socio-emotional contexts, including the presence of peers, combined with immature control processes underlying emotional regulation. Unfortunately, these models ignore the potential impact of varying levels of uncertainty in risky situations, despite advances in developmental psychology that suggest adolescent's capacities differ between risky decision-making and decision-making under ambiguity. Although adolescents are fully competent at evaluating probabilities and entertaining outcome likelihoods, they fail to make advantageous choices when such information is not directly available but must be inferred from their own experience. Thus, the overall aim of this thesis is to examine the impact of both the information level regarding risks and of the social-emotional context on risk-taking during adolescence. After showing in a first study that adults are largely ambiguity-averse in situations in which information is missing, we investigated the exact developmental trajectory of such ambiguity aversion in children, adolescents and adults. This second study characterizes ambiguity aversion as an affective strategy that gradually develops at the beginning of adolescence, while demonstrating that adolescents display an ambiguity aversion as much as adults. Then, study 3 aimed to clarify the influence of information level on adolescents' risk-taking behaviors by directly comparing informed and uninformed situations. Results showed that adolescents exhibit a suboptimal ability to adjust risk-taking to the risk level in the non-informed condition, but are efficient in making advantageous choices when explicit information is provided. Taken together, the first three studies suggest that heightened risk-taking in adolescence does not result from an increased ambiguity tolerance but rather from a specific impairment of feedback-based learning. Given adolescents' learning impairments in ambiguous situations, study 4 aimed to specify the impact of cautious or risky social influence on risk-taking behaviors, depending on the level of uncertainty. This final study underlies the potential positive influence of peers on risky behaviors. Peers4 experiences could play a particular role by providing social information that is likely to balance the difficulties adolescents have learning from their own experience.

En utökad förståelse för vad brottsbenägenhet är och vilka faktorer som påverkar den är ett viktigt första steg för att kunna förebygga hög brottsbenägenhet i befolkningen samt för att hantera aktuell brottsproblematik. Inom Situationell handlingsteori (SAT) definieras individens brottsbenägenhet som hennes lagrelevanta moral och förmåga att utöva självkontroll. Brottsbenägenhet påverkas av en mängd olika faktorer och den moraliska kontext som individen befinner sig i förefaller vara en av de mest centrala. Familjen och kamratgruppen är båda inflytelserika moraliska kontexter som kan påverka individens handlande och forskning visar att de har olika mycket inflytande i olika skeden i livet. Utifrån MINDS materialet undersöks förhållandet mellan familjens och kamratgruppens samband med brottsbenägenheten i 14–15 års ålder. Därutöver testas huruvida föräldrarnas uppfostringsstil samt graden av socialt kapital spelar en viktig roll för respektive kontexts inflytande på brottsbenägenheten.För att besvara forskningsfrågorna formulerades fem hypoteser som testas med en multipel linjär regressionsanalys.Resultaten visar att både föräldrarnas utövande av kontroll och umgänge med kriminella kamrater har ett signifikant samband med brottsbenägenhet i 14–15 år ålder. Dock visar sig umgänge med kriminella kamrater ha ett betydligt starkare samband med brottsbenägenhet än föräldrakontroll. Därav framträder kamratgruppen som en mer inflytelserik moralisk kontext än föräldrarna beträffande brottsbenägenhet i 14–15 års ålder. Socialt kapital visar sig ha ett signifikant samband med brottsbenägenhet, även när modellerna kontrollerar för föräldrakontroll, umgänge med kriminella kamrater och uppfostringsstil. Detsamma gäller inte för föräldrarnas uppfostringsstil vars samband med brottsbenägenheten varken är signifikant enskilt eller när modellen kontrollerar för övriga variabler. Uppsatsens resultat tydliggör flera intressanta möjligheter till vidare forskning om brottsbenägenhet samt har en rad implikationer för långsiktigt brottsförebyggande arbete. / A more comprehensive understanding of what crime propensity is, and which factors influence it, is an important step towards improving prevention of high crime propensity in the population as well as dealing with contemporary crime problems. In Situational action theory (SAT) an individual’s crime propensity is defined as his or her law-relevant morality and ability to exercise self-control. Although many factors can influence crime propensity, the moral context of situations seem to be one of the most crucial. Both family and peers constitute influential moral contexts in adolescents lives and their respective influence may vary in different stages of development. Based on the MINDS material, this paper tests the relationship between family and peers in influencing adolescents’ crime propensity at 14-15 years of age. The influence of social capital and parenting style on crime propensity is also tested in relation to family and peers. In order to answer the research questions five hypothesis were tested with multiple OLS regressions. The results show that both parental control and deviant peers correlate significantly with crime propensity at age 14-15 although the relation between peers and crime propensity is significantly stronger. This leads us to the conclusion that the peer group constitutes a more influential moral context than the parents in influencing crime propensity at age 14-15. Social capital correlates significantly with crime propensity, even when models control for parental control, deviant peers, and parenting style. This is not the case with parenting style which show no significant association with crime propensity. The results highlight several interesting avenues for future research into crime propensity and have several implications for crime prevention in practice.

The purpose of the study was to attempt to understand why Brigham Young University Technology Teacher Education program has attracted and retained a high number of females. This was done through a self-created survey composed of four forced responses, distributed among the Winter 2006 semester students. Likert-scale questions were outlined according to the five theoretical influences on women in technology, as established by Welty and Puck (2001) and two of the three relationships of academia, as established by Haynie III (1999), as well as three free response questions regarding retention and attraction within the major. Findings suggested strong positive polarity in four of the five influences and in both relationships, with particular emphasis on subject content, positive teacher/student relationships, as well as an overall positive environment as major contributors to attraction and retention at this university. "Role Models, Mentors, and Peers" was the only influence that scored in the negative range. Though the effect size showed differences between males and females on individual questions as well as the two relationships and "Messages from Counselors", no practical difference was found between the male and female perceptions under the five remaining general categories. In all three categories where a medium to large effect size was shown, females were favored in having more positive responses and perceptions than males.

“Dysautonomia” or a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, affects approximately 70 million children and adults worldwide. Despite this, a small fraction of studies focus on the experiences of children and teenagers' living with conditions related to dysautonomia. The aim of this study is thus to explore the experiences and perspective of teenagers living with dysautonomia, by focusing on how they describe their lives in relation to being chronically ill and how they view the relationships among themselves, their doctors and their peers. The study entails a social constructionist and an interpretative phenomenological approach, which focuses on the lived experiences of the teenagers. To collect the data, an email questionnaire1 was conducted with 16 teenagers from different parts of the world. The data was analyzed with the help of a thematic analysis. Seven themes were identified under my areas of interest; a regular day, relationships with peers and relationships with doctors. The results indicated that dysautonomia, similar to other chronic illnesses, was reducing life quality. The results also indicated that most days were spent trying to distract themselves from their illnesses. The participants described feelings related to uncertainty, fear, loneliness and grief. Difficulties remaining socially active and maintaining friendships were described by some of the participants. Relationships with peers were described as both supportive and unsupportive and were often described in terms of healthy and sick peer groups. The doctor-patient relationship was described in terms of good and bad qualities. Although all participants described feeling dismissed, belittled and accused of making their symptoms and illnesses up in their heads, some also described the opposite - the good and respectful listener, who valued the autonomy of the participants.

Cette thèse avait pour objectif d’examiner les liens longitudinaux entre les relations d’amitié et l’évolution des comportements d’agressivité physique en début de scolarisation. Guidé par les principes énoncés par les théoriciens de l’apprentissage social, de l’attachement, du développement de la personnalité et de la théorie du jugement moral, le rôle principal et modérateur de certaines dimensions spécifiques à la qualité de la relation d’amitié, ainsi que des attributs comportementaux des amis et des caractéristiques personnelles de l’enfant a été évalué. Des données provenant de l’Étude Longitudinale du Développement des Enfants du Québec (ELDEQ), de l’Étude des Jumeaux nouveau-nés du Québec (EJNQ) et de l’évaluation des effets d’un programme d’intervention dyadique ont été analysées. Les mesures utilisées dans cette thèse ont été collectées entre la maternelle et la 2e année du primaire, soit de 5 à 8 ans, directement auprès des enfants, de leurs amis, leurs pairs, leurs parents et leurs enseignants par le biais de questionnaires, d’entrevues sociométriques et de mises en situation hypothétiques. En lien avec la perspective de l’apprentissage social, les résultats ont montré que l’association à des amis agressifs en maternelle est liée à une augmentation des comportements d’agressivité physique chez l’enfant. Cependant, en lien avec les théories du développement de la personnalité et la perspective de l’attachement, le fait d’établir une relation d’amitié de bonne qualité est reliée à une diminution des comportements agressifs à travers le temps. De plus, une interaction entre la qualité de la relation et les attributs comportementaux des amis a indiqué que le risque lié à l’association à des amis agressifs est atténué dans le contexte d’une relation d’amitié de bonne qualité. Les résultats indiquent également que chez les garçons, la présence de conflits entre amis à la maternelle est associée de façon linéaire à de plus hauts niveaux de comportements agressifs, indépendamment du risque génétique de l’enfant face à cette problématique. Une interaction triple a par ailleurs révélé que le conflit n’était pas lié à une augmentation de l’agressivité physique dans le contexte d’une relation d’amitié caractérisée par l’affect positif et une bonne capacité à régler les conflits. Enfin, les résultats ont montré un effet indirect d’une intervention dyadique sur la diminution des comportements d’agressivité physique, qui opère à travers l’amélioration de la capacité des amis à régler leurs conflits. Ces résultats appuient le rôle bénéfique de la qualité de la relation d’amitié sur l’évolution des manifestations de comportements d’agressivité physique et suggèrent que cet aspect relationnel soit pris en compte dans les programmes de prévention des conduites agressives. En somme, la mise en évidence d’associations et d’interactions significatives entre la qualité des relations d’amitié, les attributs comportementaux des amis et les manifestations de comportements d’agressivité physique en début de scolarisation suggère que certains aspects et dimensions relationnelles positives peuvent être bénéfiques au développement des enfants agressifs. La prévention du maintien et de l’aggravation des conduites agressives par l’entremise de l’amélioration de la qualité des relations d’amitié représente une avenue prometteuse. / The aim of the present dissertation was to investigate the prospective links between friendship relationships and physical aggression development during the early school years. Within a theoretical framework based on social learning, personality, attachment and socioconstructivist theories, we examined the unique and combined role of various dimensions of friendship quality, friends’ behavioral characteristics and child’s pre-existing vulnerabilities in regard to the persistence of young children’s physical aggression. Data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD), from the Quebec Newborn Twin Study (QNTS) and from an efficacity test through a dyadic intervention program were used. Measures in this dissertation were collected from kindergarten to grade 2, when the children were aged from 5 to 8 years old, with the children themselves, their friends, their classmates, their parents, as well as their teachers, through various questionnaires, a peer evaluation procedure and hypothetical scenarios. In line with the social learning perspective, friends’ aggression was linked to a significant increase in children’s physical aggression. However, in line with the social bonding perspective, a good friendship quality played both a compensatory and a protective role, by respectively reducing children’s initial level of physical aggression and by mitigating the associations between friends’ and children’s physical aggression. Results also show that friendship conflict was associated to a linear increase with boys’ but not with girls’ physical aggression over time. Shared positive affect and conflict resolution skills were found to mitigate the prospective association between friendship conflict and children’s physical aggression. These results were independent of children’s sex and genetic risk for physical aggression. No interaction effects were found between the friendship dimensions and genetic risk for aggression, suggesting that children are equally affected independently from their genetic liability. Results showed an indirect effect of the dyadic intervention on decreasing levels of physical aggression through the improvement of one specific feature of friendship quality: conflict resolution. These results support the causal role of friendship quality on the developmental course of physical aggression and point to the inclusion of this relational aspect in prevention programs targeting young aggressive children. Overall, the main and moderating effect found between friendship quality, friend’s aggression and child personal characteristics bring both theoretical and practical implications. Indeed, these results suggest that fostering a positive relationship between friends in the early school years may decrease physical aggression even if the friends are aggressive. Besides, high friendship quality may also buffer against the risk associated with experiencing conflict. These findings underscored the importance of taking into account the relational characteristics, such as conflict resolution and positive affect, in order to better understand the impact of friendship relationships on children’s physical aggression development.

Cette thèse est une réflexion d’épistémologie sociale sur la construction des savoirs professionnels et expérientiels portant sur les problèmes de santé mentale ainsi qu’une exploration de leurs rapports à partir d’un projet de recherche montréalais. Ce projet fédéral de recherche et de démonstration visait à évaluer l’impact de l’approche Logement d’abord auprès de personnes avec des problèmes de santé mentale en situation d’itinérance. À Montréal, des pairs, avec une expérience vécue des réalités de la santé mentale et de l’itinérance, ont été impliqués dans le projet de recherche aux côtés d’intervenants, de gestionnaires et de chercheurs. Au fil des mois, leur présence a eu des effets contrastés, contribuant parfois à renforcer les barrières entre les savoirs et les hiérarchies professionnelles en présence dans le projet, et, à d’autres occasions, à les surmonter et entrer dans un processus de co-production de nouveaux savoirs et pratiques. L’analyse des rapports entre les savoirs en présence dans le projet souligne leur caractère complémentaire dans l’intervention publique dans le domaine des services sociaux et de la santé et les forces de l’approche expérimentale mise en oeuvre. La thèse offre également une contribution à la littérature sur la participation citoyenne en proposant une réflexion sur la capacité des citoyens à transformer les institutions publiques. Les données analysées sont issues d’un terrain de deux ans mêlant observations de la participation des pairs et une cinquantaine d’entretiens individuels et collectifs réalisés auprès de pairs aidants, intervenants, chefs d’équipe, psychiatres, gestionnaires et chercheurs. / This thesis is a contribution of social epistemology on the construction and nature of professional and experiential knowledge of mental health issues and an exploration of their relationship rooted in a research projet in Montreal. This federal research and demonstration project aims to assess the impact of the Housing First approach for homeless people with mental health problems. In Montreal, people with a lived experience of the realities of mental health and homelessness have been involved in the research project. Over the months, the presence of these peers had mixed effects, contributing sometimes to build up barriers between different types of knowledge and existing professional hierarchies, and allowing, on other occasions, to overcome them and get into a process of co-production of new knowledge and practices. The analysis underlines the complementary nature of professional and experiential knowledge in the field of health and social services and the strength of the experimental approach mobilized in the project. This thesis also provides a contribution to the literature on citizen participation by offering a look on the capacity of the citizens to transform the state institutions. The qualitative data was collected both throughout observation during a PhD field work and fifty individual and group interviews conducted between 2012 and 2013 with 25 peer support workers, clinical staff (nurses, social workers, and psychologists), program managers and psychiatrists. / Esta tesis presenta una reflexión en epistemología social respecto a la construcción de saberes profesionales y experienciales sobre problemas de salud mental, así como una exploración de las relaciones entre estos saberes a partir de un proyecto de investigación montrealés. Este proyecto federal de investigación y de demostración tenía como objetivo evaluar el impacto del enfoque Housing First con personas con problemas de salud mental y en situación de calle. Personas que tenían una experiencia vivida de las realidades de la salud mental y de la situación de calle, participaron en el proyecto de investigación en Montreal junto con trabajadores sociales, personal de gestión e investigadores. Con el paso de los meses, la presencia de estos pares tuvo efectos disímiles: en algunos casos contribuyó a reforzar las barreras entre los saberes y las jerarquías profesionales presentes en el proyecto y, en otros casos, contribuyó a superarlos y a iniciar un proceso de coproducción de nuevos saberes y prácticas. El análisis de las relaciones entre los saberes presentes en el proyecto destaca su carácter complementario en la intervención pública en el marco de servicios sociales y de salud, así como las fuerzas del enfoque experimental implementado. Asimismo, la tesis ofrece una contribución a la literatura sobre la participación ciudadana, proponiendo una reflexión sobre la capacidad de los ciudadanos de transformar las instituciones públicas. Los datos analizados provienen de un trabajo de terreno de dos años, que incluyó observaciones de la participación de estos pares facilitadores, así como cincuenta entrevistas individuales y colectivas realizadas con los pares, trabajadores sociales, jefes de equipo, psiquiatras, personal de gestión e investigadores.

The specific goal of this study was to determine the use of the physical classroom environment as a teaching and learning tool in an era of the implementation of the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI). This qualitative multi-case study focused on the learning principles and epistemological beliefs of primary teachers with reference to the physical classroom environment and the teaching process in regard to meeting the expectations set forth by the CCSSI. The researcher sought participation from a city school district in Northeast Tennessee which included a total of 8 participating teachers consisting of 2 each of grades kindergarten, first, second, and third. The Teacher Beliefs Survey (Woolley, Benjamin, & Woolley, 2004) was administered to determine teachers’ philosophical position regarding constructivist and traditional beliefs. Based upon responses, 8 teachers representing the most constructivist and most traditional teachers in each grade were selected for further participation. Teachers’ practices and perceptions of the role of the physical environment in the teaching and learning process including consideration of the CCSSI were further explored through interview. Each physical classroom environment was evaluated using the Primary Educators Environment Rating Scale (PEERS), a rubric designed to assess the use of the physical classroom environment on a continuum from traditional to constructivist practices (Evanshen & Faulk, under review). Observational field notes and photographs were collected in order to document environmental components of the physical classroom environment of each participant. Data was collected and triangulated through the use of the aforementioned methods. Through the data analysis process, the researcher found all participants to demonstrate support for the role of the physical environment in the teaching and learning process which was determined based on results of the interview in conjunction with findings of the PEERS and supporting photographic evidence. Each teacher’s personal experiences and philosophy of education was found to guide the physical classroom environment design and layout in various ways. While most teachers felt the CCSSI had little or no impact on their physical classroom environment, all shared in varying degrees the use of the physical environment as a tool to support students in developing 21st century skills.

Il lavoro di ricerca si focalizza sui modelli di giustizia e sulla devianza in adolescenza. Obiettivo è quello di mettere a fuoco alcuni elementi cruciali che intervengono come fattori protettivi e fattori di rischio nel comportamento adolescenziale. Nello specifico è indagato il ruolo svolto da variabili familiari, dalla giustizia procedurale, dalle emozioni e dal bisogno di riparazione. I contributi empirici utilizzano metodologie diverse: partendo da un lavoro esplorativo e passando attraverso la validazione di uno strumento di misurazione della giustizia procedurale il lavoro giunge alle analisi confermative su un modello teorico. Il primo studio qualitativo indaga le narrazioni e i significati attribuiti, da parte di adolescenti autori di reato, a tematiche familiari, emotive e di giustizia. Il secondo offre un contributo alla validazione italiana della Family Procedural Justice Scale (Fondacaro, Jackson, & Luescher, 2002), uno strumento self-report volto a misurare la giustizia procedurale in famiglia. Il terzo si occupa di proseguire nella direzione generata dagli studi precedenti e, attraverso analisi confermative sul modello teorico proposto, evidenzia il ruolo protettivo della percezione di giustizia procedurale in famiglia, della legittimità parentale, del bisogno di riparazione e delle emozioni di vergogna reintegrativa e colpa, mentre individua come fattore di rischio l’associazione a pari devianti. / The research focuses on the models of justice and delinquency in adolescence. The primary goal is to focus on crucial elements that act as protective and risk factors in adolescent behavior. Specifically, the role played by family variables, procedural justice, emotions and reparation is investigated. The empirical contributions use different methodologies: starting from an exploratory work and going through the validation of a procedural justice measuring instrument, the research comes to confirmatory analysis on a theoretical model. The first qualitative study explores the narratives and meanings attributed by adolescents offenders to family, emotional and justice issues. The second is a contribution to the Italian validation of the Family Procedural Justice Scale (Fondacaro, Jackson, & Luescher, 2002), a self-report instrument designed to measure procedural justice in the family. The third study continues in the direction generated by previous studies and, through confirmatory analysis on the proposed theoretical model, highlights the protective role of family procedural justice, parents legitimacy, need for reparation, reintegrative shame and guilt, whereas the association to deviant peers is identified as a risk factor.
