Many studies have focused on the influence of peers on delinquency and drug use. But what about adolescents who are not part of the peer culture--the loners, or nerds? This study focuses on drug use, delinquency and lifestyle correlates of LONERS and SOCIALS. Data for a nine-year period (1976 through 1984) from the Monitoring the Future data set of high school seniors across the United States are analyzed. The lack of peer influence on the LONERS seems to contribute to less delinquency and drug use and more conventional lifestyle activities than is found among SOCIALS.
许多研究都聚焦于同龄人对青少年犯罪和吸毒行为的影响。但那些不属于同龄人文化群体的青少年——孤独者或书呆子呢？本研究关注孤独者和社交者在吸毒、犯罪及生活方式方面的关联因素。分析了来自美国全国高中高年级学生“未来监测”数据集的九年（1976年至1984年）数据。与社交者相比，同龄人对孤独者缺乏影响似乎导致他们的犯罪和吸毒行为较少，而传统生活方式活动较多。
