Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors and protective factors on adolescents’ runaway impulse and experience. The subjects were 9,750 elementary, middle and high school students in the country.
Methods: T-test, ANOVA, chi-square test, Stepwise regression analysis, and the logistic regression analysis were used to analyse the date with SPSSWIN 18.0K
Results: First, in the differences of runaway impulse by respondents’ general characteristics of gender, grade, family type, school performance, education level of father and mother, employment status of father and mother, economic status, family conflicts, runaway experience showed statistical significance(p<0.05, p<0.01). Second, gender, grade, area, family type, school performance, education level of father and mother, employment status of father, economic status, family conflicts, runaway impulse showed statistical significance (p<0.01). Third, we found that parental abuse increased runaway impulse. On the other hand, self-esteem, family support, and teacher support reduced the urge to run away. And we found that direct or indirect deviant experiences, depression, and anxiety were factors increasing the runaway impulse(p<0.01). Fourth, we found that male students’ runaway experience was 1.69 times higher than female students’, The higher the parental abuse and neglect, the higher the runaway experience. In runaway experience, the students who had runaway impulse experienced 5.63 times higher than the students who didn’t have runaway impulse.
Conclusion: As we can see from the above results, Family factors in adolescents’ are incentive factors and protective factors. In adolescents’ runaway, family support is the starting point of solving problems. In addition, teacher support is an important factor to prevent adolescents’ runaway.
