Abstract
One hundred seventeen boys and 149 girls participated in a study investigating whether adolescent running away behavior is an expression of passive (internalization) or active (externalization) avoidance. Results of principal component analyses indicate that boys' running away behavior is associated with passive avoidance and internalization, whereas for girls the behavior reflects a mixed pattern simultaneously expressing withdrawal and overt deviancy.Keywords
