Description
What role does biology play in adolescent social competence? Can education or medical interventions enhance such competence? Can lack of social competence lead to juvenile delinquency or truancy? Answering these and other questions, contributors to this volume examine the factors that contribute to adolescent social competence, including social environmental constructs, family influences and the effects of sports.
