Focusing on Problem Behavior Theory, this volume emphasizes the influence of social context on adolescent behavior, particularly in disadvantaged environments. It explores how youth in diverse settings, from U.S. inner cities to Nairobi and Beijing, navigate challenges to achieve success despite limited opportunities. The book also addresses methodological issues in studying social contexts, highlighting the significance of perceived environments, continuity in development, and the necessity for a broader social-psychological analysis to understand behavior comprehensively.
