Abstract
This study investigates the problem behaviour of Hong Kong junior secondary school students and its relationship with self-concept and gender. The subjects were 214 boys and 135 girls of 13-15 years of age. Significant sex differences were found both in terms of the boys being involved in more problem behaviour, and the correlations between self-concept and problem behaviour among the boys but not among the girls. Implications of these findings for modifying problem behaviour are then discussed.
