Adolescent running away behavior differs by gender. Boys’ running away is linked to passive avoidance and internalization, while girls exhibit a mixed pattern of withdrawal and deviancy.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Behavior
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Running away is a significant adolescent behavior with potential links to internalizing and externalizing tendencies.
  • Understanding gender differences in the expression of running away behavior is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gender-specific patterns in adolescent running away behavior.
  • To determine if running away is primarily an expression of passive (internalization) or active (externalization) avoidance in adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Principal component analyses were employed to analyze the data.
  • Data were collected from 117 boys and 149 girls.

Main Results:

  • Boys' running away behavior was associated with passive avoidance and internalization.
  • Girls' running away behavior reflected a mixed pattern, involving both withdrawal and overt deviancy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adolescent running away behavior manifests differently between boys and girls.
    • The findings suggest distinct psychological underpinnings for running away in adolescent males and females, necessitating gender-informed approaches.
