Abstract

Externalizing problems include various forms of behavior characterized by rule-breaking, aggression, disregard for others and hyperactivity. Previous research has shown inconsistent findings regarding the life satisfaction of adolescents with elevated levels of externalizing symptoms. In this study, we examined if these problems predict adolescents’ life satisfaction, and whether social support moderates this relationship. A total of 168 high–school aged adolescents participated in the study. We found that only hyperactivity (β = -.25, p = .006) and interaction of conduct problems and social support negatively predicted adolescents’ life satisfaction (β = -.25, p = .004). Though it was not confirmed that increasing social support for troubled adolescents leads to higher levels of life satisfaction, we did notice a certain type of resilience to the lack of social support.
