Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Adolescence: Examining the Influence of Risk and Protective Factors
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Studies in Taiwan about youth tend to focus on specific externalizing problem behavior, and on risk factors that are associated with the problem behavior.
Description
In comparison, studies about internalizing problem behaviors as well as protective factors that can help modify the impact of risk are much fewer. Though in Taiwan, the strength perspective has obtained some attention in social work practice, related research has not been done yet.
In order to fill the gap, this study intends to achieve the following three aims: 1) to examine the extent and comorbidity of adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors in Taiwan. 2) To study the influence of protective and risk factors in the development of problem behaviors in adolescence. 3) To compare the effects of different risk and protective factors associated with adolescent problem behaviors.

On the basis of previous research, this study attempts to test a “buffering model”, which was proposed by Fitzpatrick in 1997. According to this model, protective factors can moderate the effect of exposure to risk factors, resulting in reduced incidence of problem behaviors. Quantitative data were collected by means of questionnaires administered in the group setting.
Using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, a total of 2,406 adolescents with a mean age of 15.2 participated in this study. Findings indicate that adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors do correlate significantly, and some protective factors have moderating effects on some those problems. The study concludes with suggestions based on the above findings.
