According to Gottfredson and Hirschi (Gottfredson, M. R., Et Hirschi, T. [1990]. A general theory of crime. Stanford: Stanford University Press), individuals with low self-control are likely to have unstable personal relationships and select into similar peer groups. Although a great deal is known about the effect of peers on delinquency, and research indicates that low self-control is associated with poorer personal bonds in adults, the relationship between self-control, peer relations, and adolescent delinquency is less well known. Developmental research suggests that impulsive children are more likely to be rejected by their peers and may have few conventional peer choices. This research investigates the process through which self-control influences peer relations and delinquency. Significant direct effects of self-control on peer rejection, association with deviant peers and delinquency were found, white self-control remained a significant predictor of delinquency net of association with deviant peers. Implications for the general theory of crime, peer relations, and causes of delinquency are discussed.
