Darbe analizuojama mokslinė literatūra apie delinkventinį elgesį, nenoro mokytis priežastis, mokymosi motyvaciją (mokymosi motyvus, mokymosi motyvacijas aiškinančias teorijas, mokymosi motyvacijos rūšis). Tyrimas ,,Delinkventinės elgsenos jaunuolių mokymosi motyvacijos ypatumai“ buvo vykdomas 2006-2007 metais. Tyrime dalyvavo 200 respondentų. 18- 22 metų jaunuolių linkusių į delinkventinį elgesį.

Gangs exist as metaphors of the societies in which they are embedded and are powerful, hence the need is great for an ecologically powerful model and a collation of a picture about gangs and gang life as described by knowledgeable individuals. With so much literature and knowledgeable individuals at hand to provide insight into the problem, the rationale for this study comes forth in the form of taking all this knowledge and insight and creating a collation of a picture of gangs as it is understood by those who study them and by those who have been confronted with them. The theoretical framework is a social constructionist cybernetic epistemology. One-on-one interviews were conducted with knowledgeable sources and audio-visual material assisted in understanding the context of gangs better. A hermeneutic analysis was used. The interview transcripts from the participants were analysed and themed according to a thematic network analysis and linked with available literature. These themes were then used to represent a Time Cable of gangs. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
