This study investigated differences in the level of delinquent behaviors depending on family structures among adolescents. The subjects were 552 middle and high school students living in Seoul and Incheon, of whom 247 were being raised by single-parents and 305 by non-divorced parents. All respondents answered by self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed by t-test, Scheffe test, ANOVA and two-way ANOVA. The major findings were as follows. First, the level of adolescents' delinquent behaviors differed by sex and age. High school students tended to be more engaged in violence and status delinquent behaviors than middle school students. Male students were more likely to engage in social, sex and properly delinquent behaviors than female students. Second, there were differences in the level of delinquent behaviors depending on family structures among the adolescents. Mostly, adolescents with non-divorced parents were less delinquent than those with a single parent. Third, among the adolescents from a divorced family, then whose parents had been divorced for 1-2 years had the highest score in sex and property delinquent behaviors.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship of family related variables with adolescents'delinquent behaviors. Family related variables were consisted of (a) family's general characteristics (j.e., occupation, income, etc.) and (b) family relationship charateristics (j.e.. parents'child rearing attitude, parents' marital relationship, and communication level between parents and adolescent children) . Adolescents'delinquent behaviors were also analyzed according to adolescents'general charateristics such as sex, grade, birth order, school achievement level, and religion. The data were collected from 577 middle and high school students in Chonju by using self-administered questionnaire method. Results showed that there were significant differences in the frequency level of adolescents'delinquent behaviors across adolescents'sex, grade, birth order, school achievement level, and religion, and across mother's occupation. and subjective living level. The delinquent behaviors were also negatively correlated with most of family relationship characteristics. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that communication of adolescent children with their father and mother's child rearing attitude were most significant variables influencing adolescents'delinquent behaviors.

The purpose of this study was to find out the factors which were related to the delinquent behaviors among 2nd years high school in Geoje, Korea. The subjects were 618 high school students. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaires from March to April, 2007. Data were analyzed by SPSS WIN 12.0 program with mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Students' delinquent behaviors differed by experience of smoking, experience of drinking, harmony of family, mother's education, father's smoking mother's smoking, academical class, satisfaction of school-life, friends who smoked, drank alcohol, did drugs, and punished friends. Students' stress and depression had positive correlation with their delinquent behaviors. The result of stepwise multiple regression showed that punished friends, experience of smoking, depression, father's smoking satisfaction of school-life were significant related factors to delinquent behaviors among high school students. It is necessary for home, school, and community to cooperate with each other in preventing high school students from delinquent behaviors.

Objectives : This study examined the relationship of parent-related negative life events with mental health and delinquent behaviors among Korean adolescents. Methods : A total of 2,976 high school first-grade pupils (1,498 boys & 1,478 girls) taking part in the third wave of Korean Youth Panel Survey completed a self-administered questionnaire regarding parent-related life events, depressive feelings, suicidal ideation, delinquent behaviors, demographic characteristics, parental socioeconomic status, social support, and social capital. Data analyses were conducted using multivariate logistic regression. Results : After adjusting for all covariates, the more parent-related negative life events adolescents experienced throughout their whole life, the more likely adolescent were to have mental and behavioral problems. A significant dose-response relationship between them was more clearly observed in girls than in boys. The experience of parentrelated negative events during childhood was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and delinquent behaviors for boys, and with depressive feelings for girls during adolescence. Indeed, parental social support, social capital, and having a close friend with delinquent behaviors, especially for girls, partially mediated the relationship between parent-related negative life events and both outcomes. Conclusions : The study showed a clear dose-response relationship of frequency of parent-related negative life events with poor mental and behavioral health for both genders. The residual effect of being exposed to parent-related events during childhood on mental health and delinquent behaviors during adolescence still remained.

This study examined patterns of delinquent behavior trajectory from late childhood to early adolescence and examined relationships between patterns of trajectory and individual, family, and school factors. Youth delinquent behavior trajectories were examined by mixed growth models using data from the 2nd to 5th year surveys of the Seoul Panel Study of Children. Relationships between patterns and effect factors were examined by multinominal logit models. Four patterns emerged: non-delinquency (80%); rapidly accelerating delinquency (3.3%); decelerating delinquency (6.0%); and moderately accelerating (10.7%) groups. Contacts with a delinquent peer group had persistent effects on more serious delinquent behavior trajectories. Increased levels of self-esteem and school achievement prevented increase in delinquent behaviors; close relationships with parents and parental supervision caused decrease in delinquent behaviors.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate correlation of childhood trauma experience and parent-adolescents' assessment reports on problem behavior through comparison of delinquent and general adolescents. Methods : First, delinquent adolescents and general adolescents were asked to complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Then, 71 pairs of delinquent adolescents and their parents and 133 pairs of general adolescents and their parents were asked to complete the Korean Youth Self-Report (K-YSR) and the Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL). Finally, responses from 410 people were used for the analysis. Results : First, childhood trauma experience score was significantly higher for delinquent adolescents, compared to general adolescents. Second, t-test showed a greater difference between K-YRS and K-CBCL for general adolescents than for delinquent adolescents. Third, in the case of delinquent adolescents, the correlation analysis of K-YSR filled out by adolescents and K-CBCL filled out by parents showed significant correlation in certain areas, including social immaturity, delinquent behaviors, internalization issues, and externalization issues. On the other hand, the correlation analysis of K-YSR and K-CBCL of general adolescents showed significant correlation in all sub-categories. Fourth, the correlation analysis of delinquent adolescents' CTQ and K-YSR showed minimal yet significant correlation in social adaptation, withdrawing, depression/anxiety, and delinquent/aggressive behaviors, however, no correlation was observed between CTQ and K-CBCL. The correlation analysis of general adolescents' CTQ and K-YSR, and CTQ and K-CBCL showed significant correlation in all sub-categories, although the degree of correlation varied. Conclusion : Delinquent adolescents had more childhood traumatic experiences. However, general adolescents' childhood traumatic experiences showed minimal yet significant correlation with various adaptation indicators and their parents responded in a similar way, indicating that general adolescents with childhood traumatic experiences need close care and attention even if they have not shown prominent delinquent behaviors.

Purpose. The present study was intended to compare difference in research variables between delinquent adolescents and student adolescents, and to analyze discriminative factors of delinquent behaviors among Korean adolescents. Methods. The research design of this study was a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were administered to 2,167 adolescents (1,196 students and 971 delinquents), sampled from 8 middle and high school and 6 juvenile corrective institutions, using the proportional stratified random sampling method. Statistical methods employed were Chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression analysis. Results. The discriminative factors of delinquent behaviors were smoking, alcohol use, other drug use, being sexually abused, viewing time of media violence and pornography. Among these discriminative factors, the factor most strongly associated with delinquency was smoking (odds ratio: 32.32). That is, smoking adolescent has a 32-fold higher possibility of becoming a delinquent adolescent than a non-smoking adolescent. Conclusions. Our findings, that smoking was the strongest discriminative factor of delinquent behavior, suggest that educational strategies to prevent adolescent smoking may reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency. Antismoking educational efforts are therefore urgently needed in South Korea.

청소년의 비행예방을 위한 사회복지실천전략 개발을 목적으로 종단자료를 통한 청소년 비행행동의 잠재집단유형을 확인하고자 하였다. 비행행동의 차별적 발달궤적을 갖는 잠재집단유형의 확인은 이들 집단의 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 실천전략의 수립을 가능케 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 청소년패널조사의 1-4차년도 종단자료를 이용하여 비행행동의 수준과 변화율이 상이한 잠재집단이 존재할 것으로 가정하는 잠재계층 성장분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 비행행동의 수준과 변화율이 상이한 4개의 잠재집단을 확인할 수 있었다. 비행행동의 경험수준이 적고 변화율이 거의 없는 규범집단, 측정기간 내내 높은 비행행동수준을 유지하고 있는 비행지속집단, 측정초기에는 높은 비행행동수준을 보이다 점차 감소하는 경향을 보이는 비행감소집단, 낮은 비행행동 수준에서 점차 비행경험이 증가하는 비행증가집단 등 4개의 잠재계층집단을 발견하였다. 잠재계층집단에 대해 청소년 비행행동의 보호 및 위험요인이 미치는 영향력을 확인하기 위해 다항로지스틱분석을 실시한 결과, 부모의 지도감독, 자기통제력, 비행친구와의 교류, 부정적 낙인 등이 잠재계층집단의 분류와 밀접한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 최초측정시점인 중학교 2학년시기에서 부모의 지도감독을 많이 받고, 자기통제력이 높으며, 비행친구와의 교류가 적고, 부정적 낙인이 적을수록 비행행동을 경험하지 않는 규범집단에 속할 가능성이 높았다. 가족구조결손, 빈곤가족, 남자청소년의 인구학적 특성과 비행친구와의 교류증가는 비행증가집단과 비행지속집단에 속할 가능성을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 종단자료를 통해 청소년기 비행행동의 이질적인 성장궤적을 갖는 잠재계층집단을 확인한 연구결과에 기반하여 청소년의 비행행동 예방 및 개입을 위한 사회복지 실천전략을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 청소년패널조사의 1-4차년도 종단자료를 이용하여 비행행동의 발달궤적을 확인하고자 하였다. 다층모형분석(HLM)에 기반한 성장곡선모형을 이용하여 비행행동의 수준과 변화율을 추정하였다. 중학교 2학년에서 측정한 보호 및 위험요인이 최종 측정시점에서의 비행행동 수준과 변화율에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지 확인해 보았다. 연구모형에서 상정한 보호 및 위험요인은 부모의 양육행동, 자기통제력, 비행친구와의 교류, 부정적 낙인 등이었다. 성별과 가구의 사회경제적 배경변인이 통제변인으로 포함되었다. 분석결과, 성별과 부모의 학력, 가구소득은 비행행동의 수준과 변화율에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 빈곤가족이면서 남자청소년일 경우, 청소년 후기에 비행행동을 경험할 가능성은 높았고, 그 증가세도 가파른 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 부모와의 애착관계를 제외한 모든 보호(위험) 요인이 비행행동의 수준에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 보호(위험) 요인들은 이론들이 예측하는 방향과 일치하는 결과로 비행행동에 대해 억제 또는 강화하는 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 비행행동의 변화율과 관련하여 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인된 보호 및 위험요인은 자기통제력과 비행친구와의 교류로 나타났다. 비행친구와의 교류가 적었던 청소년들의 비행행동 증가율은 더 높은 것으로 나타났고, 자기통제력이 높은 청소년의 경우 시간이 지남에 따라 비행행동의 증가율은 상대적으로 완만하게 나타났다. 보호 및 위험요인이 비행행동의 궤적에 미치는 영향을 종단자료를 통해 분석한 결과에 기반하여 청소년의 비행행동 예방 및 개입을 위한 실천적 함의를 살펴보았고, 필요한 후속연구의 과제에 대해 제시하였다.

This paper examined gender differences in a rate, type, relevant variables of delinquent behavior, and a gender differences regarding the relative influence of family, personality, academic achievement, sexual abuse and alcohol .drug abuse on delinquent behavior among Korean adolescents. Method: Data were collected by self-report questionnaires. Subjects consisted of 2,100 adolescents (male 1,396, female 704) in Korea, using proportional stratified random sampling method. Statistical methods were Chi-square, t-test and path analysis. Result: Male adolescents had higher rate of delinquent behavior, and more all types of delinquent behavior (antisocial, aggressive, and psychopathic) than female. Male adolescents showed more dysfunctional family dynamic environments, higher antisocial personality and sociability than female adolescents. Female adolescents had higher depressive tendencies than male. The most powerful contributing variables on male delinquent behavior were age, antisocial personality, parent-child relationship, isolation feelings, and sexual abuse in this order named. Drug abuse, isolation feelings, antisocial personality and parent-child relationship tended to be contributing variables for female delinquent behaviors in this order named. Conclusion: This investigation will provides a foundation for theory that addresses the complexities of both gender-specific and gender influences on delinquent behavior and development of preventive strategies for female delinquency.
