Why Don't Girls Misbehave More than Boys in School?

Duke, Daniel Linden

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v7 n2 p141-57 Jun 1978

In reviewing research, the author speculates on six reasons why girls misbehave less than boys, despite the fact that girls have more personal problems during adolescence. The author concludes that a combination of personal characteristics and external pressures inhibit misbehavior in girls. Over 50 bibliographical references are included. (Author/JAC)
