Social capital in the classroom: A study of in-class social capital and school adjustment
Social capital is generally considered beneficial for students' school adjustment. This paper argues that social relationships among pupils generate social capital at both the individual and the class levels, and that each has its unique effect on pupils' performance and well-being. The sample in this study consists of 1036 children in 60 first-grade classes in 46 Dutch elementary schools. Multilevel regression results show that a substantial pro…
Friendship and Delinquency: Selection and Influence Processes in Early Adolescence
Positive association of relevant characteristics is a widespread pattern among adolescent friends. A positive association may be caused by the selection of similar others as friends and by the deselection of dissimilar ones, but also by influence processes where friends adjust their behavior to each other. Social control theory argues that adolescents select each other as friends based on delinquency. Differential association theory, on the other…
Ethnic segregation in context: Social discrimination among native Dutch pupils and their ethnic minority classmates
From Evaluation to Interpretation: Assessing Theoretical Elements in Residential Programmes
Impact studies of prevention programmes, in particular meta-analyses, usually interpret outcome and impact statistics as tests of an underlying theory of prevention. However, these programmes usually combine various interventions linked to different theoretical perspectives. Consequently, the effects of the programme can easily be misinterpreted.This article introduces an interpretation method that acknowledges the eclecticism of prevention pract…
Ethnic Boundaries in High School Students' Networks in Flanders and the Netherlands
Ethnic boundaries were tested in students' networks in 34 Flemish and 19 Dutch high schools. Each network consisted of a school cohort in an intermediate level of education (track). While students from the native majority predominantly had friendships within their own ethnic category, minority students often had more inter-ethnic than intra-ethnic friendships. However, a multilevel p2 model for analysing the networks showed that this was due main…

A multilevel network study of the effects of delinquent behavior on friendship evolution
A multilevel approach is proposed to the study of the evolution of multiple networks. In this approach, the basic evolution process is assumed to be the same, while parameter values may differ between different networks. For the network evolution process, stochastic actor-oriented models are used, of which the parameters are estimated by Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. This is applied to the study of effects of delinquent behavior on friendship…
Assessing Cross-Cultural Item Bias in Questionnaires: Acculturation and the Measurement of Social Support and Family Cohesion for Adolescents
A method is presented for evaluating the presence and size of cross-cultural item biases. The examined items concern parental support and family cohesion in a Likert-type questionnaire for adolescents in The Netherlands. Each evaluated item has two versions, a collectivist and an individualistic one, that measure the same theoretical construct. The standardized difference between the score means of the item versions, called the Δe score, gives an…
Just Like Normal: A Social Network Study of the Relation Between Petty Crime and the Intimacy of Adolescent Friendships
The relationship between delinquent behavior and the quality of peer relations is the subject of criminological debate. Some authors state that delinquent youths have friendships of relatively low quality, while others predict no differences compared to non-delinquent peers. In the current study, the perceived intimacy within peer relations, the occurrence of friendships, intimate friendships, practical and emotional social support relations, fun…
The Social Education Gap Report of a Dutch Peer-Consultation Project on Family Policy
Like their fellow Europeans, many Dutch citizens worry about the moral decay of their youth. Often the family is blamed; (other) parents have failed in their moral education. Recently the Dutch Government asked the present authors to advise them on family policy, taking young people's opinions into account. We asked a group of 24 pupils from vocational schools, aged 14 and 15 and from different ethnic origins, to interview ten classmates each on …
