Summary/Abstract: The study was designed in order to allow the investigation of theoretical presumptions regarding the determinants of behaviour disorder. By the structural modelling we test the model of perception by the parents of the teenagers having behaviour issues. The sample included 109 parents of teenagers manifesting behaviour issues at subclinical and clinical level. The structural model is adequate in order to claim that the analysed variables: satisfaction with life, irrational values, self-esteem and the perception of social support are the causes and/or factors for maintaining, both distally and proximally, the distress generated to the parents by the teenagers` behaviour issues.
