台灣青少年發生偏差行為的盛行率約二成(內政部，2003)，即每五人就有一人經歷過偏差行為的經驗。青少年出現偏差行為帶來的生、心理影響，不只影響青少年個人，更關係著整個家庭與社會。瞭解青少年如何來看待並解釋自己的行為以及相對的矯正、處置與相關事件如何影響他們對自己及將來的看法，才能進一步規劃及執行有效的措施。本研究目的為探討青少年經歷偏差行為的經驗，研究設計為質性研究方法中的詮釋現象學，採立意取樣，個案為七位南部某少年觀護所內的青少年，藉由每次約90-100鐘的訪談收集資料，共收集11份逐字稿，以主題分析法進行資料分析。研究結果有三個主題：(1) 自尊的匱乏；(2) 用偏差行為尋找自我認同；(3) 在隧道中探尋曙光。在偏差行為青少年的生活經驗，充滿自我認同的探求，經歷許多自尊匱乏的經驗，在不斷嘗試補足匱乏的過程中進入了偏差行為的世界。在偏差行為的世界中，青少年犯短暫的獲得了重視、認同與歸屬，卻也面臨自我價值與社會價值的衝突與矛盾，他們仍在自我認同混淆矛盾與社會價值期待中摸索碰撞，但因為家人的不放棄與支持，讓他們在深邃的隧道中看見一點曙光，重新燃起希望，邁向未來。藉由本研究結果建議相關照護人員在青少年初犯偏差行為時，應敏感察覺並重視其背後的需求及匱乏，及時介入個人與家庭，協助青少年尋找正向自我認同，回歸正軌，以達到預防之果效。

The prevalence of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors was 20% in Taiwan. The impact of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors severely affects adolescents, their family, and the society. Given the high prevalence of adolescent’s delinquency, adolescents’ perception and explanation on the experience and the consequences of their delinquent behaviors are important to investigate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of adolescents having delinquent behaviors. Hermeneutic Phenomenology was used in this qualitative study. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 7 juvenile offenders from a juvenile detention house in southern Taiwan. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews. Each interview lasted about 90-100 minutes. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Three themes were merged from 11 interviews: (1) lacking self-respect; (2) exploring self-identity through delinquency; and (3) searching a dim light in the tunnel. In the journey of exploring their self-identity, adolescents experienced disrespects from others and strived for respect, attention, and care by being delinquent. In the delinquent world, adolescents obtained temporary respect and self-identity, and felt a sense of belongingness. On the other hand, adolescents also experienced a conflict between self value and social norms, and struggled to escape from the dark tunnel. The unconditional love and support from families are the foundations to assist adolescents keeping hope and courage to overcome any possible obstacles in the future. The findings of this study suggest professionals working with juvenile offenders need to be sensitive to observe and realize the real needs and deficiencies of adolescents’ delinquent behaviors, and assist adolescents to find a positive self-identity and prevent from future delinquency.
