Introduction. In adolescence deviant behavior manifests both online (e.g., cyberbulling, sexting, excessive Internet use) and offline making important to study their relationships. Objectives. The aim was to study online and offline child- and parent- reported deviant behavior in Russian adolescents. Methods. Study was based on EU Kids Online methodology (Livingstone, Haddon, 2009) and included 1025 parent-child (9-16 years old) pairs (Soldatova et al., 2014) from 11 regions of Russian Federation. Cronbach’s alphas for composite scores on deviant behavior were .61-.62). Results. 13.2% adolescents reported being extremely drunk last year, 6.9% - having sexual contacts, 4.6% - problems with police. Child-reported deviant behavior was related to excessive Internet use (r=.21) and meeting online risks concealed from parents (t=-3,32- -2,51, η2=0,01-0,07). 6.5% parents reported substance abuse in their children, 5.9% worried about their sexual behavior and 8.0% - about problems with police but correlation between children’s and parental reports was low (r=.21). 13% of parents reported deviant behavior of their children online related to offline ones (r=.38). Child- and parent- reported deviant behavior negatively correlated with use of programs for parental control but was unrelated to parental restrictions and active mediation of their children’s online activity. Conclusions. There is a relationship between online and offline deviant behavior on adolescents that seems to increase their online risks and almost independent on parental mediation strategies. Low correlation between parental and adolescents reports indicate both poor parental awareness and concealment in adolescents.
