Abstract

|
In this study, it was aimed to reveal the psychopathological characteristics of the working adolescents and the juvenile delinquents through the MMPI test.
The subjects of the study were 203 male delinquents and 98 female delinquents, 109 male working adolescents and 90 female working adolescents.
MMPI test was given to all 500 adolescents.
The results were as follows:
1. F, Pa, Pt, and Si scale were the high scores in the working adolescents and the delinquents compared with the normal adolescents. Between the working adolescents and the delinquents, the scores in these scales were higher for the delinquents than for the working adolescents, especially the Sc score.
2. In the delinquency, the delinquency scale and the psychopathological scale, (critical items), the scores for the delinquents were higher, and the scores for the working adolescents were also suggestive that the working group may have more problems than the normal adolescents.
3. Fifty seven point six percentage of the male delinquents and 29.4 % of the male working adolescents were expected doing misdemeanour and for the female, 68.4% of the delinquents and 30.0% of the working group were expected doing so.
4. For the males, there is no difference in the frequency ratio of the psychopathological seriousness for the non expected delinquency group and the expected delinquency group respectively.
But for the females, the psychopathological seriousness were the high scores for the non expected delinquency group.
5. From the previous results, it could be surmised that the working adolescents
may have the delinquency and the psychopathological seriousness and that for the delinquents, the delinquency is remarkable at first but the psychopathological seriousness is a more important factor of their misdemeanour. Especially for the females, their psychopathological problems effected their misdeeds more than for the males.
