Frustration and Aggression

J. John Cohen
- 01 Sep 1944 - 
TL;DR: The result is not a mere juxtaposition of uncoordinated viewpoints, but a unity of aim and consistency in presentation which make the multiple authorship almost undetectable as mentioned in this paper, and there can be little doubt that the intimate collaboration of a team of specialists, each with a distinctive training, is a profitable way of examining a problem which has no clear-cut frontiers and which does not fall neatly into one of the conventional compartments of social study.

Journal ArticleDOI

School Disengagement as a Predictor of Dropout, Delinquency, and Problem Substance Use During Adolescence and Early Adulthood

TL;DR: Assessment of the extent to which a school disengagement warning index predicts not only dropout but also other problem behaviors during middle adolescence, late adolescence, and early adulthood indicates that the school diseng engagement warning index is robustly related to dropout as well as serious problem behaviors across the three developmental stages, even after controlling for important potential confounders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the Influence of Perceived Norms on Behaviors

TL;DR: This paper found that descriptive and injunctive norms were different in terms of their impact on behavior and the inclusion of group identity and communication patterns significantly added to the explanatory power of their model.
