Abstract
COVID-19 has brought many issues to our society. One among them is the problem behaviors in adolescents. Compared to adults, adolescents are more vulnerable to both the virus and stressors brought by the pandemic. This article focuses on adolescents problem behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on previous studies, we analyze four types of problem behaviors that are prevalent during the pandemic in depth depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation, internet addiction, and truancy. According to their definitions, we categorize depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation as internal problem behaviors, and internet addiction and truancy as external problem behaviors. The risk factors and intervention strategies are also discussed in line with existing research. Risk factors are discussed from the individual (big five personality traits and self-control strength), family (family relationship), and school aspects (interpersonal relationship and academic stress). Intervention strategies are also explored at individual, family, and school levels. Interventions discussed in this article include logotherapy, physical activities, attachment-based family therapy, and peer education.
