IgnacioWilkinson, Anna V.Predictors of adolescent truancy: The importance of cyberbullying, peer behavior, and parenting styleART-2022-131731This study extends the truancy literature by exploring correlates of both committing truancy and the numbers of days truant among Spanish secondary school students. The study incorporates cyberbullying, peer truancy and parenting style as key predictors. Several count data regression models are estimated using a nationally representative survey of Spanish students (N = 37,476; Mage = 15.73; 50.9 % females). The results suggest that cyberbullying and parenting style play a significant role in a student’s decision to commit truancy, while peer truancy plays a significant role in both the decision of whether or not to commit truancy (OR = 1.61) and the number of days truant (IRR = 1.41). These results suggest that reducing cyberbullying and promoting specific parenting styles may serve to reduce truancy, and that this direct effect or reduction could be further increased indirectly via peer or social multipliers.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/12114610.1016/j.childyouth.2022.106692http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/121146oai:zaguan.unizar.es:121146Children and Youth Services Review 143 (2022), 106692 [8 pp.]by-nchttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
