Abstract
Problem behavior theory proposes that tolerance of deviance is a predecessor of substance use and antisocial behavior (Ridenour et al., 2011). This cross-sectional study (n=359) examined predictors of attitudes towards delinquency. Results indicate a significant relationship between positive self-concept and lower tolerance of deviant behavior (p< .001, β -.386).
