The subjects in this study were 292 adolescents at middle schools in Kyunggido. A violence scale in CTS(Conflict Tactics Scale), A-DES(Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale) and School Adjustment Scale were used to measure. The data were analyzed by frequency, Pearson's correlation and regression using SPSS. Lastly, Baron and Kenny's(1986) model was used to verify mediational effects. The followings are results of the study.
