Abstract

En 中文
At-risk adolescent boys exhibit elevated rates of behavioral problems, interpersonal difficulties, and emotional dysregulation—patterns shaped by multiple risk factors, including disrupted family relationships, and compounded by masculine gender socialization norms that discourage emotional expression and help-seeking. Controlled outcome studies of group interventions specifically designed for at-risk adolescent boys remain rare.
