Abstract
Relation between the self-stated deviant and delinquent activity and the socially established values evaluated according to the relation scales toward the socialistic self-management (SAM), ethnocentrity (ETN), conformity (KON), authorianism (AUT) and social hostility (FROM), was analyzed under the pattern of the quasi-canonic analysis covariance. The data was collected in the name of a wider research* on •the sample of 743 males that was representative for Yugoslav population, in age from 19 to 27. The social status factors activity was eliminated by partiality and did not specially affect the results.
Quasi-canonic analysis of unrevealed activity produced four results from which the first two exhaust the largest part of variances (67%). All quasi-canonic correlations are small (from 0.18 to 0.22). The first pair of variables is attributed to the general asocial behaviour which manifests itself by common delinquent activity, and in terms of values by an acceptance of non-self managing orientation and by a social hostility. The second factor can be explained by relation to the addicted behaviour and anomic relation with the social environment. The third solution is an expression of the adolescent rebellious behaviour toward one's environment, and the last pair of variables was probably a result of psychopathological factors.
Analysis of the revealed delinquent activity produced five factors among which the first two (64% of variance) are the unrevealed activities. Very small rate of representativeness of other factors for the unrevealed and revealed delinquency does not justify the weight of already suptile differences between them. It seems possible to state the existence of general factor of asocial behaviour and anomic type of relations toward the social reality, and very weak relation between social values and delinquency.
