Abstract
Peer-Reviewed Open AccessThis study examined the behavioral problems of adolescents among college students in Ongkharak District. A normative survey method was adopted, with 100 college students randomly selected from the district as participants. The research instrument used for data collection was the Behavioral Problems Questionnaire, developed by Dr. Joseph Israel, and validated at a 0.05 level of significance.The findings revealed that 2% of adolescents exhibited a low level of behavioral problems, 22% demonstrated a high level, and 76% were found to have a moderate level of behavioral problems. These results suggest that the behavioral problems of adolescents in this sample are predominantly moderate in nature.The study underscores the need for interventions aimed at addressing the moderate to high levels of behavioral issues among adolescents. It also highlights the importance of further research to explore underlying causes and contributing factors, such as family environment, peer influence, and academic stress, to develop effective strategies for behavioral improvement and support.
