Dimensions of concerns: the case of Turkish adolescents
Article Abstract:
A study of 471 female and 486 male Turkish secondary school students revealed their main concerns in life to be focused on their personal future, interpersonal relations, local-global issues, social identity and drug abuse. This five-cluster grouping of the adolescent students' concerns were obtained by subjecting them to a 40-item Adolescent Concerns Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the UCLA Loneliness Scale.

A cross-cultural validation of a four-factor model of adolescent concerns: a confirmatory factor analysis based on a sample of Hong Kong Chinese adolescents
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to validate Violato and Holden's (1988) four-factor model of adolescent concerns cross-culturally by applying it to data drawn from a sample of 585 Hong Kong teenagers of Chinese ethic origin. The four factors identified by the model are Health and Drugs, Future and Career, Personal Self, and Social Self. The results show that the model fit the data quite satisfactorily. Explanations for discrepancies in the fit are offered.

Adolescents' judgements of the seriousness of disruptive behaviour at school and of the sanction appropriate for dealing with it
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on teenagers' attitudes towards disruptive behavior in school. The findings indicate that their judgement of the seriousness of the behavior is more severe than the sanctions they believe are appropriate. Moreover, the results also show that students who are disruptive are more tolerant than their non-disruptive peers both in their judgement of the seriousness of the deed and the sanctions thought to be appropriate.
