The present study explored the dimensions of deviant behaviour in
adolescent boys through an indigenous developed deviant behaviour scale,
based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual's (DSM-5; American
Psychiatric Association, 2013) classification of behavioural problems. The
data was collected from 612 adolescents of grade 9th to 12th
, of age range
13-19 years (M= 16, SD= 1.40) from different government schools and
colleges in Lahore. The list of the schools and colleges was taken from
District Education Officer (DEO) of city Lahore, Pakistan. A Self
constructed Deviant Behaviour Scale (Mushtaq & Kausar, 2012)
comprising 76 items was used. Data was analyzed by using Principal
component analysis and reliability analysis to examine the psychometric
properties of the scale. The analysis identified three factors of deviant
behaviour scale (α=.87) naming conduct disorder (CD; α=.96), intermittent
explosive disorder (IED; α=.95) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD;
α=.93). The results were compared and discussed in accordance to the
Pakistani culture and adolescents behavioural patterns.
