摘要:The present study investigated the efcts of individual,family,school,and community factors on the onset of adolescent runaway behavior. Using the Korean Youth Panel data (n=3,118),discrete-time survival analysis was applied for research purposes. Results showed that the likelihood of onset of adolescent runaway behavior increased sharply during the early middle school years. The variables of self- control,agression,parents' divorce,paternal abuse,atchment with parents,and number of delinquent peers were associated with the likelihood of runaway behavior. These results suggest that special attention should be paid to adolescents in the early middle school years and that various preventive programs,e.g,aggression and stess management,and peer relations programs,should be developed and implemented..
