In a sample of 404 White adolescents (mean age 14.5 years) from working-class families, striking similarities were found for both genders in levels and correlates of antisocial behavior. Aggressive conduct was most strongly associated with delinquent behavior. Also, both genders reported interpersonal difficulties with intimate relationships and family, including large numbers of breakups with close friends and escalating numbers of arguments with parents. In spite of these interpersonal difficulties, antisocial youth indicated less need for positive feedback. Different, but related, internalizing behaviors were noted for both genders. Antisocial boys had low self-esteem and girls had more depressive symptoms. Additionally, boys perceived their families as lacking cohesion and girls were more affected by parental marital disruption. Only antisocial girls indicated low levels of involvement in school-related activities. Maternal reports also noted girls' unproductivity. Implications of accurate identification of correlates of antisocial behavior are discussed.
