Abstract

The purpose of this study was to survey and clarify the characteristics of self-esteem, aggressiveness, AD/HD symptoms, and ACE in inmates of a female juvenile correctional facility and age- and gender-matched controls, analyze relationships among factors, and establish a causal model. The subjects were 41 juvenile (all females) admitted to "A" female juvenile correctional facility, aged 15-18. Average students at an average high school were used as the control group. The inmate group showed markedly lower levels of self-esteem but no difference in aggressiveness compared with the control group. Results of AD/HD youth self report suggested marked AD/HD symptoms in the inmate group even in the primary school period. Multidimensional factors correlated with their aggression. There was a possibility that low self-esteem, a high AD/HD-YSR score, and high ACE score increase aggressiveness.
