This study aims to investigate the potential factors associated with these behaviors among different family situations, and hope that the result can help provide appropriate counseling guidance for parents, teachers or schools’ administrators. 　　This study was based on the students from the senior and vocational high school students in Taiwan collected by the Taiwan Education Panel Survey. The factor analysis was used to determine the three different aspects for measuring deviant behavior and associated factors, and the factor loadings were used to compute the scores. The two independent sample t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were implemented to understand the association between different deviant aspects and potential factors. In particular, the multiple imputation was used to impute the variables that have high missing proportion. 　　The study shows that whether the students live with both parents affects the association of student’s external deviant behavior and internal deviant behavior significantly with other factors. Factors that are statistically significantly associated with all deviant behavior aspects include gender, living stress, influence from peers and relationship between teachers and students. For students who live with parents, the three deviant behavior aspects are also statistically associated with the school type, physiological confusion and campus environment. 　　The ways to decrease deviant behavior for students from senior and vocational high school students are following. Students shall seek professional assistance when they are under living stress or who are victims of campus violence. Furthermore, students shall develop positive self-worth cognition and proper leisure habits. Parents should strive to maintain the integrity of the family and try to participate in their schools’ activities, so that their children can feel their concern and support positively. At the same time, parents should pay more attention to their children's friends, and encourage them to maintain an appropriate relationship among their friends and to keep distance from friends who have deviant behaviors. Schools’ administrators and teachers shall initiate some proper contact and cooperate with parents frequently to prevent students having deviant behavior and also dedicate their time to develop harmonious, safe and friendly campuses to reduce campus violence.
