초록
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the difference between student adolescents and delinquent adolescents in terms of problem behavior and self-related variables(adolescent's egocentrism, self-esteem, self-identity), and to examine the relationship between problem behavior and self-related variables.
The subjects were 105 eighth and ninth grade students in Kyunggido area, and 103 juvenile delinquents who were similar to student adolescents in age.
The major findings were as follows:
First, there were partial differences in problem behavior between student adolescents and delinquent adolescents. That is, delinquent adolescents showed more severe problem behavior (except suicide attempts) than student adolescents, whereas there were no differences between these two groups in mild problem behavior except in the case of outlandish fashion, drinking, and smoking. The relationship between problem behavior and self-related variables turned out to be dependent on the character of the subjects and the degree of problem behavior.
