Objective:
@EN This research was performed to identify problem behavior patterns, family environment(job of parents, job of adolescence, harmony respect), tendency of depression, tendency of anxiety and degree of internal-external control of male adolescent
delinquents, through comparison of the those of male high school students and criminal adolescents.
@ES Methods:
@EN We surveyed 838 male adolescents including 343 deliquents(Bul-Yang in Korean) from educational program of BBC(Big Brothers and Sisters) in Pusan, 168 criminal adolescents from Adolescent Correctional Institution in Pusan, 327 high school
students
through questionnaire during the periad of Aug. 1993 to Feb. 1994.
@ES Results:
1) In the investigation of problem behavior patterns, the frequency of socialized nonaggressive behavioral pattern was higher in delinquent group and criminal group than student group. The socialized nonaggressive behavioral pattern is more
serious
than socialized adult modeling behavioral pattern.
2) In the comparison of parents' jobs, jobs of delinquents' fathers were workfolks(35.6%), officials(22.1%), jobs of criminals' fathers were workfolks(50.4%), unemployed(12.4%), and jobs of students' father were official(23.4%), sales(22.0%). In
criminals, mothers were more employed.
3) In comparison of their own jobs, delinquent group and student group had more students (69.9%, 100%) than criminal group(9.6%).
4) In the degree of mother's respect for children, mothers in student group were more respectful to her children than in delinquent or criminal group.
5) In the anxiety scale for SAS, delinquent group was less anxious than student group and criminal group.
6) In the depression scale for SDS, criminal group was more depressed than student group and delinquent group.
@ES Conclusion:
@EN According to these findings, delinquent group and criminal group had more serious behavioral patterns than student group. Criminal group was more depressed and anxious than student group and delinquent group. Criminal group is supposed to be
poorer
than student group and delinquent group.
Therefore, we suspect that delinquent group is posed on intermediate place between student group and criminal group. Mother's respect to her children seems to be a crucial factor because ignorance and lower interests of mother to her children
were
found
to be important in delinquent behaviors.
