The purpose of this study was to verify the direct influence of future-oriented thinking on delinquency among out-of-school adolescents, the mediating effect of depression on the direct influence, and the moderating effect of out-of-school duration on the mediating effect. Using a sample of 733 adolescents who were not in school at the point of survey from the 1st wave’s raw data of the Panel Survey of School Dropouts, this study conducted analyses with the Process macro method’s Models 4 and 7. The findings are as follow. First, out-of-school adolescents’ future-oriented thinking negatively and significantly influenced delinquency. Second, out-of-school adolescents’ depression fully mediated the influence of future-oriented thinking on delinquency. That is, the level of future-oriented thinking decreased the level of depression, which in turn decreased the level of delinquency. Third, the mediating effect of future-oriented thinking on delinquency through depression was moderated by out-of-school duration. Specifically, when out-of-school duration became longer, the protecting effect of future-oriented thinking on delinquency through depression became larger. This study, based on the findings, discussed ways to deal with out-of-school adolescents’ delinquency through enhancing their future-oriented thinking.
