The purpose of this study is to determine how well each of peer and parental influences on adolescents" drinking and smoking behaviors do in the early adolescence, mid-adolescence, and late adolescence. Especially, this study could be traced to changes of chronic delinquent career on adolescent"s drinking and smoking behaviors using Thornberry"s interactional theory. The data for this investigation came from the Korean Youth Panel Data from a sample of 2,844 elementary school students for 2004-2008 and 3,449 middle school students for 2003-2008. Multiple regression analyses indicate that the results of this study in part support Thornberry"s interactional theory in both elementary and middle school students panel data. That is, the results revealed that parental variables had statistically insignificant effects on drinking and smoking behaviors of korean adolescents during the whole adolescence. However, peer factors, specially delinquent peers, had the strongest effects on them regardless of early adolescence, mid-adolescence and late adolescence. In detail, parental attachment and parental supervision variables are not supported as an explanation for adolescents" drinking and smoking behaviors. But the variable of delinquent peers is strongly supported them. The findings are significant results to test Thornberry"s interactional theory using Korean Youth Panel Data from, especially a longitudinal data from elementary and middle school sampling for 2003-2008.
