Their age range was between 12 and 18. The actual number of cases put into the analyses was 1,555 including 1^202 student adolescents and 353 delinquent adolescents. Data were analysed by SAS program. Statistical methods employed were, factor analysis, correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis etc. Results ： 1) Analysis o f adolescents reports o f family dynamic environment yielded 6 family types including impulsive family type, well-functioning family type, constricted family type, chaotic family type, closed family type and immature family type in the order of their explanatory variate.
