| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 教育研究所 === 95 === Many empirical researches about social control theory in the past can in many ways explain the deviant behaviors. However, the previous researches were usually conducted in small areas, used purposive sampling or had smaller sampling population. The previous research data are used as a basis to focus on the deviant behaviors of all Junior high school students in Taiwan to verify the adaptation of social control theory.
In this thesis, the relations among different attachments, involvement of activities, educational ambitions and deviant behaviors of junior high school students are discussed and social control theory are applied. The analysis is based on 13978 copies of students’ questionnaires supplied by “Taiwan Education Panel Survey” and the data collected are analyzed using reliability test, frequency distribution analysis of percentage, comparative analysis of means, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple stepwise regression analysis. The results are as followings:
The most common deviant behaviors of Junior high school students are sequentially cheating during the test, fighting in campus, quarreling with teacher, cutting classes, smoking, drinking or beetle nut chewing, stealing or robbing, reading porno books or CDs, browsing the porno sites and running away from home. The better the attachment between father and son, mother and child, teacher and student and the better the attachment to the school and peers are, the higher the educational ambitions and the lower the deviant behaviors become. However, The better the attachment of siblings and the higher the involvement of activities are, the higher the deviant behaviors become.
The attachment between teacher and student, the educational ambitions and the involvement of activities highly explain the deviant behaviors when analyzed by multiple stepwise regression. This represents that different attachments, involvement of activities and educational ambitions in Hirschi’s social control theory play a crucial part on students’ deviant behaviors. Nevertheless, the attachment of siblings and the involvement of activities are positively correlated to the deviant behaviors also reveal the restriction of Hirschi’s social control theory.
Based on the findings above the suggestions are made to provide for the family members, school administrators, other related personnel and future researchers to reduce the deviant behaviors of junior high school students and proceed with relevant researches.
