In this article, deviant action is analyzed on the basis of ideas derived from Gottfredson and Hirschi's self-control theory. Presumedly, self-control in interaction with opportunities can explain deviant action. This assumption is elaborated using the concept of high- and low-cost situations from rational choice theory. From this point of view,…

Academic self-concept is consistently proven to be multidimensional rather than unidimensional as it is domain specific in nature.

This study examines the twofold multidimensionality of academic self-concept (i.e., its domain specificity and…
