Systematic Program

The outline of an integrative theory of deviant behavior is described and evaluated with reference to (1) the compatibility of the theory with findings from a systematic program of a research using longitudinal data designed to test the theory, and (2) the congruence of empirical findings from studies guided by other theoretical frameworks or using no theoretical frameworks with the integrative theory. The systematic estimation of theoretically informed models using panel data suggests that the basic theoretical framework is sound. At the same time certain findings, while compatible with the theory, suggest the need to elaborate the model further through the specification of other mediating and moderating variables. Findings from the general literature on deviance and drug use are congruent with the general theory, and indicate that the integrative model is a useful framework for organizing the empirical literature as well as for providing a valid foundation for constructing an explanation of drug use and other deviant adaptations.

The Individual

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.

Theoretical Foundations

The emergence of an increasing number of foreign students in Russian universities indicates the importance of the Russian higher education system in the world community. At the same time, a new problem emerged on the agenda — how to train foreigners from abroad with high quality, taking into account their different readiness in mastering the Russian language and different subject training. The article describes the problems that foreign students face when studying informatics at a pedagogical university. The combined profiles, including “Informatics”, of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute named after M. E. Evsevjev were the experimental research site. On the example of the “Theoretical Foundations of Informatics” discipline, the ways of teaching informatics are shown. Examples of assignments, including tasks for independent work, for teaching foreign students to informatics at the specified university are given.
