目的 :探讨男性少年暴力罪犯的心理防御机制的特征 ,为少年犯罪的预防和干预策略提供理论参考依据。方法 :随机抽取 88名少年管教所的男性少年暴力罪犯与 3 3名的中专二年级男性学生进行“防御方式问卷”调查。结果 :两组应用最多的都是成熟防御机制 ,但不成熟防御机制 (D1 )、中间型防御机制(D3)、掩饰因子 (D4 )评分有显著性差异 ,D1、D3的多个项目评分也有显著性差异。结论 :与一般同龄群体相比 ,少年暴力罪犯较多使用不成熟型、中间型防御机制 ,提示少年暴力罪犯心理健康水平不及同龄群体 ,应付挫折和应激的方式和能力达不到社会的要求 Objective: To explore the characteristics of the psychological defense mechanism of male juvenile violent criminals, and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and intervention strategies of juvenile delinquency. Methods: A total of 88 male juvenile delinquents in juvenile correctional institutions were randomly selected and 23 males in secondary specialized schools were investigated for their “defensive measures” questionnaire. Results: There were significant differences between immature defense mechanism (D1), intermediate defense mechanism (D3) and disguise factor (D4) scores in most of the two groups Significant difference. Conclusion: Compared with the general peer group, juvenile violent criminals use immature and intermediate defense mechanisms more often, suggesting that juvenile violent criminals have less mental health than those of the same age group, and the methods and abilities to deal with setbacks and stress fall short of social requirements
