dc.description.abstractBackground: Persistent engagement in antisocial behavior by people of all age groups is thought to reduce the personal well-being of people. It impacts on individuals, families, and communities; it prevents a peaceful community life and degrades the environment. However, less is known about potential adverse emotional, psychological, physical, social, economic, and behavioral outcomes among teenagers with antisocial behavior. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to develop an understanding of the effects of antisocial behavior on the personal well-being of teenagers. Using data from interviews with antisocial and pro-social teenagers, the study examined the association between antisocial behavior and teenager’s well-being using a sample size of one hundred participants (n = 100). Official arrest records and self-reports of engagement in antisocial behavior were used to classify participants as antisocial and contrasted with teenagers' well-being alongside pro-social teenagers. Results: With few exceptions, teenagers with persistent antisocial behaviors experienced the greatest effects of antisocial behaviors. Compared to teenagers with no antisocial behavior, participants with persistent antisocial behaviors had poorer personal well-being outcomes coupled with alcohol misuse, poverty, drug abuse, stealing, and unwanted pregnancy.
