This study mainly explored the differences between the demographic variables and independent as well as dependent variables（i.e., personality traits, parenting styles, and whether to run away from home or not ）. In addition , the associations of the aforementioned variables were examined with different statistical analysis . The research results and suggestions were proposed.
This study used a quantitative questionnaire survey, selecting 526 juvenile delinquent judged as probation youth by Taiwan Kaoshiung Juvenile Court. The questionnaire modified Han’s personality trait scale（2002）and Tsai’s parenting style scale（1999）to meet research subjects’ characteristics as the instrument tool. Total 410 subjects were selected as research sample in a valid rate of 77.94％.
The results were found as followed:
1.There reached 77.26％of juvenile who had experiences of running away from home ; female juveniles had a higher tendency to run away from home than male juveniles.
2.There was the first experience of running away from home found in the junior high school period ; the decision to run away from home was made by juveniles and half of them spent most time with peer or staying in his/her peer’s home when running away from home.
3.The structures of family composition could inhibit the running away from home behavior.
4.The more juveniles’ parents used “neglected” style , the more juveniles ran away from home.
5.The variables of “gender” and “emotional stability” could predict juvenile to run away from home.
The suggestions were proposed in accordance with the discussion of research findings as followed:
1.Parents need to attend Parenting Education course, such as parenting- effective- training （PET）in order to establish the emotional bonds between parents and juveniles.
2.Helping professionals need to set up self- assertive projects to help juveniles manage the emotional control in order to decrease the conflicts between parents and juveniles.
3.Juvenile Law needs to be amended by “prejudging displacement” in order to establish the diversion system in order to avoid the early intervention of juvenile’s experiences of running away from home behavior.
