Summary

Gibson (juvenile justice and psychology, Prairie View A&M U., Texas) reports the results of using surveys and interviews of teachers and students to test the hypotheses that factors in student behavior include stress outside of school, interactions with teachers, and regard by teachers; that such teacher regard is itself shaped by the student's performance and behavior early in the semester; and that the trajectories to academic success and to delinquency are subject to similar influences.
