抄録

Two of the remarkable personality traits of deviant adolescent hot rodders were found to be extremely high extraversion and high neuroticism, measured by shortened Y-G test. It has been pointed out by previous research that the Japanese children experience the developmental change from extraversion to introversion, as they progress from primary to secondary schools, which suggests the presence of cultural orientations toward introversion in their environments. The extremely high scores on extraversion of deviant adolescent hot rodders may be regarded as the effects of the lack of these cultural orientations, or the presence of reinforcement of extraversion in their childhood. And this extremely high extraversion introduces “an infantile level of response”, which is the hot rodding and which represents the immatuarity of their personality, into their deviant behavior.<BR>It was also found that deviant adolescent hot rodders showed severe underachievement in school performances. Since our current educational system happens to unfavour high extraverts, they may well be expected to underachieve. Thus their underachievement can be considered the effects of their maladjustment to the distribution of knowledges, and also to the cultural orientations toward introversion, which might be called “hidden curriculum” implicit in the distribution of knowledges.
