I blame the parents, am I right?
Social Groups/Norms
Social de-individuation
Zimbardo (1969) conveyed that the decrease in self observation and concern for social evaluation leads to inability to control behaviour often leading to 'irrational, impulsive and atypical behaviour (Shaver, 1977).
Haney (1973) prison study manipulated the behaviour of the guards who acted with excess brutality causing pychosomatic disorders in prisoners. The lowering oof personal identification created situationally variable behaviours (Zabrick & Miller, 1972).
Attentional focus model-Focusing on moral values leads too moral behaviour (Deiner & Wallbom, 1976). The immersion into a group of individuals with similar interests causes a loss of self-regulation and consequent behaviours.ie crime and behavioural changes to comply to social identity/ group norms

Behaviour change
The Social Developmental Model (SDM) conveys that the development of human behaviour in childhood leads to prosocial or antisocial outcomes (Catalano and Hawkins, 1996).
Life course perspective (Elliot, 1994) specifying 4 periods in childhood and adolescence. This theory has been applied to predict drug use and criminal behaviour during late adolescence and early adulthood.
Children socialize through perceived opportunities through activities and interactions, the degree of involvement and interaction, skills to participate and the reinforcement they perceive through involvement. This facilitates rewards which increases attachment for both antisocial and prosical individuals.
Socialization creates social bonds of attachment and commitment within a social group. This therefore enables the social learning process which inhibits behaviours inconsistent with group norms.
Bonds with drug involved families (Foshee & Bauman , 1992) are associated with increased levels of deviance. i.e.. in crime. Social bonds inhibiting problem behaviours are only apparent in non-problem families who are opposed to drugs, violence and criminal offenses. An individuals behaviour depends on the predominance of imbalanced influences (prosoical or antisocial).
Bonding to antisocial family members should promote problem behaviour whereas bonding to prosocial family members should inhibit problem behaviour.
The SDM model suggests that bonding affects problem behaviour. Attachment to parents increased belief in values. However this was not the case for children living with parents who model problem behaviour.
