The relationship between antisocial behavioral tendency and social information processing in adolescence was investigated. Male high school students(n=241, Normal Group) and juvenile delinquent boys in a detention center(n=125, Delinquent Group) were asked to respond to ambiguous situations and also to self-report questionnaire on antisocial behaviors. In Normal Group, three stages such as interpretation of ambiguous situation, response generation process, and expectation of outcome have significant correlation with antisocial behavioral tendency. Among them, response generation process is most important stage. On the other hand, in delinquent group, the correlations between the two stages(response generation process, expectation of outcome) and antisocial behavioral tendency are significant. And the thought that the outcomes of aggressive behaviors are positive is most important determinant of the antisocial behavioral tendency. Information processing on aggressive thinking has a positive correlation with antisocial behavioral tendency in adolescence.
