The current study evaluates the validity of using Burke and Tully's technique to measure the role/identities of deviant individuals. Self-concepts of incarcerated delinquents were assessed in relation to three social role labels (Popular Teenager, Juvenile Delinquent, and Emotionally Disturbed Teenager) as defined by normal adolescents. Each subject's self-concept was classified as either "popular," "delinquent," or "disturbed." Validation for the technique was found in that identifiers (those with delinquent or disturbed self-concepts) endorsed more deviant behaviors and feelings on a personality test than resisters (those with popular self-concepts). In addition, correctional staff judged identifiers and resisters to be behaviorally different "types" of delinquents. However, there was no support for the hypothesis that particular demographic characteristics facilitated identification with a deviant label. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
