In addition, the researcher explored the current status of the hurtful feelings, internalizing behavior problems and externalizing behavior problems, and the differences in the hurtful feelings, internalizing behavior problems and externalizing behavior problems among students of different backgrounds. Finally, the researcher explored how the different aspects of hurtful feeling could explain for the internalizing behavior problems and externalizing behavior problems. A total of 858 junior high school students from Mioali County participated in this study. The Scale of Hurtful Feelings, the Scale of Internalizing Behavior Problems, and the Scale of Externalizing Behavior Problems were applied in this study. The t-test, analysis of variances, Pearson product-moment correlation, and path analysis were applied for data analysis. The results showed that hurtful feelings from parents scored highest, followed by that from friends, and that from teachers score lowest. The frequencies of internalizing behavior problems were not high, and the score in social anxiety ranked the highest, followed by depression tendencies, and the social isolation ranked the lowest. Males experienced less hurtful feeling from friends, but more hurtful feelings from teachers than females. The 8th graders reported more hurtful feelings from friends than the 9th graders. The 7th graders reported more hurtful feelings from parents than the 8the graders. There were no significant differences among students of different grade in the hurtful feeling from teachers. Males scored lower in depression tendencies and the total score of internalizing behavior problems, but higher in externalizing behavior problems than females. The inter correlations between aspects of hurtful feelings and internalizing as well as externalizing behavior problems were significant but low. Finally, hurtful feelings from teachers could explain for the externalizing behavior problems, and hurtful feelings from parents could explain for social anxiety and depression tendencies. Practical and research suggestions were provided based on the results.
