Objective: Delinquent peers are important predictors of adolescent delinquent behavior. Few studies have classified individuals into groups based on patterns of delinquent behavior among youth and their peers. This study identified latent groups based on adolescent-peer delinquency and examined psychosocial characteristics of each latent group. Methods: First, the study employed latent class analysis based on a nationally representative data of South Korean middle school students (N = 2,277). Both adolescent and peer delinquent behaviors comprised 13 items in the questionnaire that was self-reported by adolescents. Second, the study used multivariate regression models to analyze psychosocial symptoms of latent groups and conducted Wald tests to compare differences among latent groups. Results: Patterns of adolescent-peer delinquency were classified into six latent groups. "Mutual total delinquent group (1.2%)" showed high rates in most delinquent experiences. "Mutual status delinquent group (5.7%)" mainly experienced status delinquency, "Mutual violence delinquent group (5.3%)" showed high rates of violent delinquency. "Peer-only total high delinquent group (3.8%)" reported friends to have engaged in all types of delinquency and "Peer-only total medium delinquent group (11.8%)" reported peer involvement in multiple status and few violent delinquency. Finally, "low risk group (72.2%)" reported low rates of delinquency for themselves and their friends. Regression analysis showed that every "mutual" delinquent group presented significantly worse psychosocial problems than the "low risk group." Conclusion: Using person centered latent class analysis, this study classified six latent classes while considering both delinquent agents and various types of delinquency and investigated specific groups with greater risk of psychosocial problems.

The main purpose of this study was to identify the impact of neighborhood settings on peer risks experienced by delinquent adolescents. A convenience sample of 1,086 youth who came to the attention of four county juvenile courts was used for the present study. The peer risk levels were measured through use of version 1.0 of the Global Risk Assessment Device (GRAD); in addition, neighborhood information obtained from the National Census was utilized. The results of the HLM demonstrated that there were significant between-neighborhood variations in peer risks and the neighborhood economic disadvantage variable was associated with peer risks after controlling for the variables of individual characteristics. The findings of this study add to the literature on juvenile delinquency by providing empirical support for the proposed model that illustrates the significant relationship between a neighborhood setting indicator and peer risks experienced by delinquent adolescents when practicing treatment or intervention programs with delinquent adolescents.

This study examined the effects of parental attachment and peer attachment in elementary school children upon early adolescent delinquency. The participants were 2,844 taken from data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey (KYPS). Data from secondary questionnaires data on parent and peer attachment, problem behavior, delinquent peers, and delinquency were used for this study. Data were analyzed by means of a Structural Equation Model using AMOS 5.0. Our results indicated that, firstly, parental attachment was negatively related to problem behavior for both male and female adolescents, whereas peer attachment was positively related to problem behavior only for males, but not for females. Secondly, problem behavior in childhood has a direct effect on adolescent delinquency, which also can be indirectly mediated by contact with delinquent peers. In conclusion, the path model from parental and peer attachment in early childhood to adolescent delinquency was supported only in the case of males.

This study investigated personality and environmental variables influencing peer bullying by sex and by differences between bullies, victims, bully-victims, and normal children. Findings were that the proportion of the total sample involved in peer bullying was 47.88%. Of the bullying children, 38.15% were bully-victims, followed by victims and bullies. The bullying of both boys and girls was influenced by exposure to violence, delinquent friends, and peer support. Bullies had higher levels of aggression and exposure to violence than normal children and higher levels of peer support than victims. Victims had higher levels of delinquent friends and exposure to violence than normal children. Bully-victims showed higher levels of aggression, immaturity, delinquent friends, exposure to violence and lower levels of peer support than normal children.

본 연구는 부모양육태도, 친구관계, 학교환경 등 청소년의 발달환경이 비행행동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 컴퓨터, 휴대전화 등 매체환경이 그 관계에서 어떤 매개역할을 하는지를 규명하는 데 목적이 있다. 초기 청소년인 중학교 1학년 총 518명 대상으로 한국아동 청소년패널 6차년도 조사결과를 활요하였다. 분석결과, 부모양육태도가 애정형, 과잉간섭형, 학대형일수록, 친구와 소외관계가 깊을수록 비행행동은 더 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부모의 비일관성, 친구간 의사소통은 컴퓨터와 휴대폰을 더 자주 사용하게 하였다. 컴퓨터, 휴대전화를 자주 사용할수록 비행행동도 늘어났다. 따라서 청소년의 가정환경, 친구관계는 비행행동에 영향을 미치므로 부모교육프로그램, 친구간 소통프로그램 등 비행행동을 방지하는 발달환경의 조성 전략이 필요할 것이다. 비행행동을 완화하기 위해 최근 사회문제화 되고 있는 컴퓨터나 휴대전화 등에 대해 올바른 활용을 위한 교육프로그램 개발 및 시행이 요구된다.

The subjects for this study on delinquent behavior, substance use and risk/protective factors consisted of 301 Korean-American students in grades 6 to 12. Findings were that (1) the delinquent behavior rate of adolescents using alcohol, tobacco or other substances was higher than that of non-using adolescents, increasing the odds of delinquent behavior from 3 to 45 times. (2) The probability of delinquents in the substance users group was higher by 7 to 44 times than in the non-users group. (3) The relationship with delinquent behavior of risk factors and substance use was much stronger than the relationship with delinquent behavior of protective factors and substance use. (4) The strongest predictor of delinquent behavior or substance use was the peer-individual domain.

This study examined patterns of delinquent behavior trajectory from late childhood to early adolescence and examined relationships between patterns of trajectory and individual, family, and school factors. Youth delinquent behavior trajectories were examined by mixed growth models using data from the 2nd to 5th year surveys of the Seoul Panel Study of Children. Relationships between patterns and effect factors were examined by multinominal logit models. Four patterns emerged: non-delinquency (80%); rapidly accelerating delinquency (3.3%); decelerating delinquency (6.0%); and moderately accelerating (10.7%) groups. Contacts with a delinquent peer group had persistent effects on more serious delinquent behavior trajectories. Increased levels of self-esteem and school achievement prevented increase in delinquent behaviors; close relationships with parents and parental supervision caused decrease in delinquent behaviors.

본 연구의 목적은 청소년 비행과 관련된 요인과 그 과정을 생태체계적 관점에서 분석하여 실제 프로그램에 대한 함의를 얻는 것이다. 본 연구는 일반지역과 저소득층 밀집지역을 비교함으로써 비행화 요인 및 그 과점에 대한 정보를 얻고자 하였다. 목적표본추출방식에 의거 두 유형의 세 지역에서 여섯 학교를 선정한 후 1,116명의 표본을 대상으로 구조화된 조사도구를 가지고 설문조사를 하였다. 조사도구는 예비조사를 통해 신뢰도 및 타당도 검증을 거친 후, 최종적으로 '개인요인,' '가족요인,' '친구요인,' '학교요인,' 그리고 '비행요인' 등 총 130문항으로 구성된 것이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Windows 7.0을 통해 분석되었다. 기본적인 분석을 통해서는 두 집단간의 비행정도에 있어서의 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 두 집단간에 독립변인과 종속변인과의 상관관계 유형에 있어서 차이가 있음이 발견되었다. 이는 "비행"이라는 '결과'는 모두 같은 것일 수 있으나, "비행화"라는 '과정'은 모두 같지 않을 수도 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 '과정'에 있어서의 차이는 회귀모형을 이용한 경로분석을 통해 보다 구체적으로 밝혀졌다. 그 결과, 전체적으로 보았을 경우 비행화에 가장 큰 효과를 미치는 것은 '친구변인'인 것으로 밝혀졌으나, 일반지역의 경우에는 '학교요인'이 그리고 저소득층밀집지역의 경우에는 '가족요인'이 비행화에 가장 큰 효과를 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 청소년 비행에 대하여 보편적 접근이 아닌 통합적이되 차별적인 접근이 미루어져야 함을 시사하는 것이다.

This study investigates the effects of children's social relationships and psychological characteristics on their behavior problems. Behavior problems comprise violations of norms, bullying, and deviant behavior in the cyberspace. A data set of 2949 Korean children in their 4th grade is analyzed to yield three main results. First, variables such as contact with delinquent friends, aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, gender, and depression have significant effects on violations of norms. Children who have more delinquent friends, higher level of aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, or depression report more violations of norms. Second, delinquent friends, stress of peer relationship, aggressiveness, stress of appearance complex, gender, parents' violent attitudes toward children, and negative self-image are turned out to be important variables predicting bullying. Children with more delinquent friends, higher level of stress, higher level of aggressiveness, or lower self-image are more likely to experience bullying. Children who perceive their parents to be violent show more bullying experience. Third, each of aggressiveness, delinquent friends, stress of appearance complex, gender, relationship with teacher, and family income has significant effect on deviant behavior in cyberspace. Children with higher level of aggressiveness, more delinquent friends, stress of appearance complex, or negative impression of teacher are more likely to deviate in cyberspace. Children from higher income families report more deviant behavior in cyberspace. Boys show more experiences in every category of behavior problems than girls.
