Abstract:
In order to investigate the level of anxiety, depression and repression, and the coping style in response to the stress of the delinquent adolescents, we examined 158 delinquent adolescents and 60 student adolescents using anxiety scale, depression scale, repression sensitivity scale and coping scale. Data were processed by IBM PC AT computer using SPSS program and were statistically analyzed by ANOVA. The level of anxiety, depression and repression of delinquent adolescents was significantly higher and the score of maladaptive coping scale was significantly higher than those of student adolescents. In conclusion, delinquent adolescents were more anxious, depressive, repressive, and more maladaptive than student adolescents.
