Abstract

The lives of youths take place on the borderline between fulfilling social expectations and deviant behavior with constant mutual penetration between these two confronting lives. Thus, delinquency takes on the characteristics of a recreational culture and not an extreme form of life. Nonetheless, existing studies deal with deviant behavior of youths only from a negative angle. The 「Study on the Value Systems and Lives of Youths」 was conducted to examine the deviant behavior of youths and the values and attitudes surrounding their lives and to promote in-depth study of the daily lives, school life, and recreational culture of youths. The survey is composed of data on ‘high school students’, ‘working youths’, ‘juvenile delinquents’ and this survey was conducted among high school students. The questionnaire is composed of contents on the law and social life, delinquency and social relations, violence and corporal punishment, sexuality, sexuality of youths, group of friends, personality and characteristics, parent’s childrearing, daily life, school life, leisure, value system, deviant behavior, and opinion on deviant behavior.
