Sharlin, Shlomo A.; Mor-Barak, Michal
Adolescence, v27 n106 p387-406 Sum 1992
Examined female adolescent runaways. Found that girls who "run to" were younger, more impulsive, had internal locus of control, and had history of more runaways and longer periods of staying away from home. Girls who "run from" were older, more reflective, had external locus of control, and had history of fewer runaways and shorter periods away from home. (Author/NB)
