An internet addiction measure(Park et al., 2001) and an asocial behavior measure(K. J. Lee, 1997) were administered to 232 6th-grade students. Statistical analyses were by mean-difference scores and t-test. Results showed that all aspects of internet addiction(preoccupation, compulsive use, relapse, tolerance/dependence and impediments in daily life) were related to both the inner asocial behaviors of depression, social withdrawal and over-anxiety and the external asocial behaviors of aggressiveness, delinquency and hyperactivity. The only exception was that tolerance/dependence was not related to delinquency. Boys addicted to the internet were more socially withdrawn, aggressive, delinquent and hyperactive than girls. From the results, it can be suggested that internet education should be carried out from the elementary educational level.

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.

The menarcheal age of Korean women has been rapidly decreasing for the last 50 years, and the average menarcheal age of women born in the 1990s is approaching 12.6 years. In addition, interest in early puberty has been increasing recently owing to the rapid increase in precocious puberty. Generally, out of concern for short stature and early menarche, idiopathic central precocious puberty in female adolescents is treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs. Studies to date have described the association between early menarche and psychosocial problems such as delinquency and risky sexual behavior, as well as physical health problems such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and breast cancer throughout the lifespan of women. However, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying this association has not been clarified thus far. In this article, we review and discuss the existing literature to describe the current understanding of the effects of early menarche on the physical and psychosocial health of adolescent girls and adult women.

Objectives : The objective of this study was to identify the risky behavior subtypes in adolescents with depression, and the relationship between those subtypes and suicide attempt. Methods : Ninety adolescents who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th edition criteria for major depressive disorder, dysthymia, or depressive disorder not otherwise specified participated in the study. Participants were interviewed about suicidal attempts, non-suicidal self-injuries. Smoking, drinking behaviors, and searching for the word "suicide" on the internet, negative life events including bulling-bullied experiences, and history of abuse were also included with questionnaires. Results : The results of cluster analysis showed that four risky behaviors were divided into three clusters : non-risky type, characterized by few risky behaviors ; delinquency type, which was characterized by smoking and drinking ; non-suicidal self-injury type. In non-suicidal self-injury type, percentage of girls was higher and clinical symptoms were more severe than delinquency type. In addition, delinquency type members could be a bully, while non-suicidal self-injury type members could be abused by a family member. Logistic regression analysis showed that both risky behavior subtypes were significant predictors of suicide attempt. Conclusion : These results suggest that two types of risky behaviors of depressed adolescents have an effect on the suicide attempts independently. Then, the implications and limitations of the study were discussed and directions for future studies were suggested.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of pregnancy, abortion, delivery and contraceptive use and the relationship between the related factors and the early coitus among Korean teenagers. Method: The subjects of this study were 12,733 teenagers age 13-19 years in 7 major cities and 9 provinces in Korea. Data was collected from 2 Oct., to 28 Oct., 2000 and analyzed by using SPSS 10.0 Program. Results: The results showed pregnancy rate 4.5%, delivery rate 0.5%, abortion rate 0.4%. Adolescent girls who experienced coitus relatively went to vocational school, coeduaction school, night school in the general characteristics (p=0.000). Adolescent girls who experienced coitus tend to go to video room (18.5%), go the singing room (60.7%), the bar (54.8%), petting with the partner during the dates. There were overlapping juvenile delinquencies such as drinking (89.2%), pornography (65.3%), bond inhalation (2.7%), leaving homes (43.7%), smoking (14.5%), cyber sex (70.8%), phone sex (12.9%). Adolescent girls who experienced coitus were more suffering from Wangtta (26.1%) than who had not. They showed significant positive attitudes toward coitus; such as feeling of excitement (6.6%), nature (37.9%), beauty (8.7%). On the other hand, they had more guilty (2.8%) than the inexperienced (p=0.000). The main factors relating to early coitus were 'to confirm love' (46.9%), 'afraid of rejection' (32.2%). They think the benefits of coitus were 'more intimacy with boyfriends' (20.6%), 'satisfaction of curiosity' (16.8%). The losses on coitus were 'worry about pregnancy' (73.7%) and 'unability to refuse sexual contacts' (28.7%) Conclusion: It could be concluded that it is necessary to plan different sex education programs according to general characteristics and delinquency behaviors of teenage girls in Korea.

본 연구는 문제성 음주자의 청소년 자녀들에게 나타나는 부적응 특성들을 알아보기 위하여 일반고등학교에 재학 중인 남녀 학생들로 하여금 부모의 음주문제를 보고하도록 한 후 이를 근거로 문제성 음주자의 청소년 자녀 집단(남 126명, 여 210)과 부모가 음주 문제가 없는 비교집단(남 190, 여 222)을 구성하여 두 집단의 가족 환경 및 부모-자녀 관계, 우울, 음주 기대, 음주 개입 및 비행을 비교하였다. 그 결과 문제성 음주자 자녀 집단은 비교 집단에 비해 부모로부터 보살핌을 덜 받았다고 느꼈으나, 부모의 과보호는 더 받았다고 보고하였다. 또한 문제성 음주자 자녀 집단은 비교 집단에 비하여 우울과 불안 수준이 높았으며 음주 기대가 높고 음주와 비행에 더 많이 개입되어 있었다. 위의 여러 변인에서 성별에 따른 차이가 나타났지만 성별과 부모의 문제성 음주와의 상호작용은 보이지 않았으며, 이는 부모의 문제성 음주가 남녀 청소년 모두에게 비슷한 영향을 미침을 시사한다. 청소년들의 우울, 불안, 음주 기대, 음주 개입 그리고 비행에 영향을 미치는 위험 요인을 알아보기 위해 남녀 집단의 자료에 각각 중다 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과, 우울 및 불안 등 청소년의 정서문제는 부모의 음주보다는 부모와의 관계를 어떻게 지각하고 있는가에 의해 더 많은 영향을 받는 반면, 음주 문제와 비행은 부모와의 관계보다는 부모의 음주 문제 정도 및 이들 불안 ${\cdot}$ 우울 등의 정서상태와 더 밀접하게 관련되어 있었다.

본 연구는 아동이 인지한 가정의 경제적 곤란과 가족갈등 스트레스가 문제행동과 학교적응에 미치는 영향을 아동의 스트레스와 대처방식 간의 상호작용에 관심을 두고 접근하였다. 자료는 C도에 거주하는 12세-15세의 아동 1,200명에 대한 설문조사를 통해 수집, 최종적으로 1,115부를 통계분석하였다. 자료분석결과, 아동의 문제행동과 학교적응에 차이를 가져오는 일반적 특성은 아동의 성, 학년과 성적이 대표적이었고, 가족유형에 따른 차이는 없었다. 경제적 곤란과 가족갈등 스트레스는 적응에 유의한 변수로 나타났으나 성에 따라 차이가 있어 남아는 내 외현화 문제행동에 경제적 곤란과 가족갈등이 영향을 미쳤으나 여아의 내재화 문제행동에는 경제적 곤란의 영향력은 유의하지 않았다. 상호작용에서도 남아의 경우 모든 적응문제에 스트레스 변인과 대처방식의 상호작용효과가 유의하였으며, 여아의 경우에는 공격성, 비행 및 불안 우울에서만 상호작용효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 아동의 스트레스 대처방식이 부적응 예방 프로그램의 한 영역으로서 연구 개발될 필요성이 논의되었다.
