Runaway behavior has been viewed as a psychopathological problem by many. However, a review of the available research literature questions this perspective. An examination of the reported psychological profile of runaways suggests no clear relationship between personality and runaway behavior. Further, a multiplicity of factors can be noted which are potential causal agents for running away. These factors range from sociocultural values to school problems. Runaway research is shown to be methodologically limited by several factors, but the data are suggestive. Also, the authors conclude that future research on this growing social problem might utilize an "alternative values" or "deindivuation model" in generating testable hypotheses about runaway behavior.
许多人将逃跑行为视为一种心理病理学问题。然而，对现有研究文献的回顾对这一观点提出了质疑。对逃跑者报告的心理特征的研究表明，人格与逃跑行为之间没有明显的关系。此外，还可以注意到许多潜在的因素，这些因素可能是逃跑的原因。这些因素包括社会文化价值观和学校问题。逃跑研究受到几个因素的限制，但数据表明。此外，作者还得出结论，未来对这一日益严重的社会问题的研究可能会利用“替代价值观”或“去个体化模型”来产生关于逃跑行为的可检验假设。
