Abstract

This study was examined to explore the factors in the subdomains of self-efficacy and moral disengagement explaining adolescents' depression and delinquency. A total of 1146 students were administered multifaceted questionnaires measuring self-efficacy, moral disengagement, depression and antisocial conduct. As results, 'self-efficacy to meet other's expectations' and 'moral justification' was the most important variables for explaining depression. 'self-regulatory efficacy' was the most influential factor into antisocial behavior. The difference of age and gender were revealed in the variables of affecting the depression, trivial delinquency and severe delinquency.
