Hypothesis
Expected antisocial behavior will be associated with recognition of adolescence as a new stage, including various demands made of adolescents in anticipation of adulthood.
Note
Significant demands of adolescents include new roles in the family (r = 0.65) and community (r = 0.5), ownership of productive property (r = 0.44), and high degree of opportunity to own property (r = 0.52). Anticipation of adulthood includes adult character being established in adolescence (r = 0.49), high degree of opportunity to choose spouse (r = 0.38), and antisocial behavior by adult men (r = 0.55).
