Summary:A three-wave model is estimated in which the relationships between self-rejection and specific forms of deviant behavior are mediated by coping styles with which the deviant patterns are functionally compatible. In response to self-rejection, avoidant coping at Time 2 is related specifically to drug use at Time 3, and attack coping style at Time 2 is related specifically to violence and theft at Time 3. Self-rejection has independent direct positive effects on all modes of deviance. The findings support the position that deviant behaviors are self-protective responses and contribute to understanding why particular patterns of deviance are adopted.
