This study utilized secondary research data. Participants were students from high school and junior high school in Taipei City and New Taipei City, and obtained 439 valid samples. SPSS 22.0 for windows was used to analyze the data.

According to the result, this study summarized the following conclusions: 1. The frequency of boys’ aggression, rule-breaking and externalizing problem behaviors were significantly higher than girls. 2.
