School Dropout as Predicted by Peer Rejection and Antisocial Behavior.
French, Doran C.; Conrad, Jody
Journal of Research on Adolescence, v11 n3 p225-44 2001
Assessed at eighth and tenth grades the prediction of school dropout from measures of antisocial behavior, social preference, and achievement. Found that social preference does not uniquely predict school dropout. The possibility exists, however, that youth who are both antisocial and rejected may be at heightened risk for school dropout.
