abstract="A key distinction from Warr's research is &quot;groupy&quot; (deviant acts commonly committed with peers) versus &quot;non-groupy&quot; (acts that are likely committed alone) deviance. Drawing on Warr's important (and underutilized) distinction, this study's goal is to determine whether measures of perceptual groupy peer deviance more accurately reflect a peer's true deviance than perceptions of nongroupy peer deviance. Using dyadic data, results demonstrate that perceptions of a peer's non-groupy deviance are largely inaccurate but perceptions of a peer's groupy deviance are quite accurate. Despite this discrepancy, groupy and non-groupy perceptual measures function similarly in multivariate models and consistently outperform peer self-reports.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
