Isi artikel

Although social learning theory remains among the dominant perspective in micro level research concerning the causes of delinquency, research has yet to provide an adequate test of its social reinforcement component using the methods required by the logic of operate psychology. The present article discusses the limtis of existing attempts to test the social reinforcement hypothesis, offers a new approach for testing it and describes the use of panel data to provide such a test. In particular, the author examined : 1. whether delinquency increases the amount of time a perpetrator's peers choose to spend with him or her 2. whether such attention serves as a direct reinforcement prompting further delinquency from the perpetrator, and 3. whether such attention serves as a vicarious reinforcement prompting delinquency from audience members in proportion to their desire for informal socializing among peers. The results suggest support for vicarious, but not direct, social reinforcement.
