We attained 465 valid samples from junior high school students in Tainan area. We adopted Stratified random sampling method to gather the samples. In addition to the descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe’ method, we use Pearson product moment correlation analysis, multiple stepwise regression analysis to perform the necessary statistical tests. The research results are as follows: 1. Gender and grade make significant difference on “sensation seeking”, “self-control” and “the internet deviant behavior tendency”. (1) Male students are more aware of sensation seeking motive than female students. So are the higher grade students than the lower grade ones. (2) Male students have lower ability of self-control than female students. So do the higher-grade-students than the lower grade ones. (3) Male students exhibit higher levels of the internet deviant behavior tendency than female students. So do the higher-grade-students than the lower grade ones. 2. Sensation seeking, self-control, and the internet deviant behavior tendency have no significant differences in students’ family status. 3. The correlation between “sensation-seeking motive,” “self-control,” and “the internet deviant behavior tendency” are listed below, (1)“Sensation seeking” is significantly positive correlated to “the internet deviant behavior tendency”. (2)“Self control” is significantly negative correlated to “the internet deviant behavior tendency”. (3) “Self-control” is significantly negative correlated to “Sensation seeking”. 4. The internet deviant behavior tendency could be effectively predicted by risk taking component and self-centered component of self-control. We summarize the research and provide recommendations to juveniles, so that they may be free from internet deviant behaviors. Keywords: sensation seeking, self-control, the internet deviant behavior tendency
