摘要:This study examined patterms of delinquent behavior rajectory from late childhood to early adolescence and examined relationships between patterms of trajectory and individual,family,and school factors. Youth delinquent behavior trajectories were examined by mixed growth models using data frorm the 2nd to 5th year surveys of the Seoul Panel Study of Children. Relationships between patterms and effect factors were examined by multinomninal logit models. Four pttemns emerged : non-delinquency (80%);rapidly accelerating delinquency (3.3%);decelerating delinguency (6.0%);and moderately aceleraing (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.
