This study combined a treatment sample (n = 127) and a control sample (n = 114) of adolescents (ages 13 - 17) to investigate the relationship between adolescent peer groups and incidence of psychosocial problems. A content analysis resulted in four separate types of peer groups. The group with the lowest level of involvement in school activities was labeled by other adolescents in negative terms. An analysis of variance indicated that the least involved and most negatively labeled group generally had the most positive attitudes toward alcohol and drug use, the lowest levels of perceived harm due to alcohol and drug use, and the highest levels of alcohol abuse, drug use, delinquency, and depression. This group also had the lowest level of self - esteem, most external locus of control, least perceived access to occupational opportunities, and highest level of societal estragement. The results are interpreted as providing support for both control and labeling theories. Implications for theory - based intervention are discussed.
