碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 106 === This study attempted to integrate the social control theory, low self-control theory and the differential association theory, and explore how impulsivity, deviant peer and social control would directly affect adolescent deviant behavior, and to explore whether deviant peer was the mediator between impulsivity and adolescent deviant behavior, and to find whether social control could moderate the relationship between impulsivity, deviant peer and adolescent deviant behavior. This study used data from the Community Intervention in Youth Violence and Sexual Assault in Taichung Area. Path analysis was used to explore the relationship between impulsivity, deviant peer, social control and adolescent deviant behavior. The results showed that both impulsivity and deviant peer can directly predict more deviant behaviors among adolescents, while social control can directly predict less deviant behaviors among adolescents. Deviant peer was the mediator between impulsivity and adolescent deviant behavior. Social control was the moderator between deviant peer and the adolescent deviant behavior. However, social control could not moderate both the relationship between impulsivity and adolescent deviant behavior, as well as the relationship between the impulsiveness and deviant peer. According to the result from this study, researcher provided a few suggestions for the prevention of adolescent deviant behavior and the future study.
