青少年反社會行為的病理研究：生物/心理/社會模式之探討─男性虞犯中學生的情緒與認知心理功能障礙之探討

The purpose of the proposed
research is to explore the emotional and
cognitive impairments in male adolescents
with severe conduct problems in Taiwan.
As a school-based study using male
adolescents with severe conduct problems,
this study will replicate the assessment for
juvenile delinquents conducted at the first
year in order to examine the applicability of
the assessment package as well as to enrich
the data pool of juvenile delinquency.
Juvenile delinquency and crimes have
rapidly increased in Taiwan over the past
decade. Male juvenile delinquent
adolescents are found to be the majority and
3
most likely to start their delinquent
behaviors from violence or severe conduct
problems at school. As one of the research
project at the second year of the two-year
Integrative Research Project, the proposed
study compare male adolescents with and
without severe conduct problems on their
family background variables, interpersonal
relationships at school, performance of
cognitive tasks, and depression tendency.
The results indicate that, while no
significant differences were found on most
familial/social variables and cognitive
functions, the adolescents with conduct
problems show significant higher score of
“social withdrawal” factor of CDI and
stronger tendency to re-commit anti-social
behaviors. Suggestions concerning the
bio-psycho-social model of juvenile antisocial behaviors as well as early prevention plans are discussed.
