| Research Abstract |
This longitudinal study examined risk factors for juvenile delinquency in junior high school students. About 2000 junior high school students, who had already been involved in a longitudinal study for 3 years beginning in 2007, were followed for an additional3 years starting in 2010. The students were administered written questionnaires for the purpose of collecting data. The study found that delinquency during the first year of junior high school was predicted by the amount of time spent playing games during the final year of elementary school. It clearly established that problematic student behaviors during the first year of middle school are correlated to problematic behaviors in the last year of elementary school.
