Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore a risk and a protective factors of adolescent runaway based on the previous researches. Runaway of adolescents is increasing, and it is longer and more habit gradually than past. The prevailance methods of runaway is no longer effects on the decrease of adolescent runaway. Now there is to accept adolescent runaway, and has to support the difficult life conditions and the emotional distress of adolescent post-runaway. This means that must be identify and treatment the protective factors having an buffering effect as well as the risk factors influencing on runaway. Although the worse factors related family are the highest risk factors of runaway, others factors including negative peer relation, a academic stress also an have significant influence on runaway. And the protective factors mediating the negative influence of risk factors are an monitoring and controlling of parent as authoritative rearing attitude, a social support, a positive coping strategies, a self-esteem, and a conventional peer group. Protective factors prevent from runaway behavior, as well as improve a resilience of adolescents in the poor environment. The tasks of follow study are to investigate empirically the mediating effects of the protective factors on the problem behavior of post-runaway and resilience of runaway adolescents based on the systematic research design.

본 연구에서는 청소년 가출의 특징을 살펴보고, 이들의 문제행동 개입 과정과 양상을 분석함과 동시에 가출의 위험요인과 보호요인을 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 관련 문헌을 통해 가출의 의미와 원인, 최근 조사결과에 근거한 실태와 특징 등을 분석하고, 청소년 시기에 가출을 야기하는 위험요인(risk factors)이 무엇이며, 그리고 이들 위험요인에도 불구하고 가출로 인한 문제행동을 완충 또는 중재하는 보호요인(protective factors)은 어떤 것들이 있는지를 탐색해 보고자 한다. 그 결과 먼저, 청소년 가출에 대해 이를 더 이상 청소년 개인의 문제로만 인식하지 않고 사회적인 문제로 인식해야 된다는 점을 강조하였다. 그리고 부적절한 가정환경과 부모의 강압적인 양육행동, 부정적인 또래압력과 입시 스트레스 등이 가출의 주요 위험요인이라면 이들의 부정적인 영향을 감소 또는 중재할 수 있는 보호요인으로 사회적 지지, 적극적 대처전략, 부모의 감시 및 통제, 자기 존중감 등을 제안하였다. 본 연구의 이러한 결과는 청소년 가출의 예방은 물론이고 가출 청소년들의 적응유연성(resilience)을 향상시킴으로써 비행 및 재 가출을 차단할 수 있는 처치 가능성을 높여 줄 것으로 기대된다.
