English

Homeless youth peer relationships in the USA and South Korea were examined in the context of youth homelessness as a growing global concern. Although some aspects of street life transcended culture, individual and group behaviors varied according to perspectives related to individualism or collectivism. Service delivery systems need to develop culturally specific interventions.

French

Cette recherche sur les relations entre les jeunes aux États-Unis et en Corée du Sud a été entreprise dans le cadre du phénomène croissant des jeunes sans-abri à l’échelle mondiale. Bien que certains aspects de la vie dans la rue transcendent la culture, les comportements individuels et de groupe varient en fonction des perspectives relatives à l’individualisme ou au collectivisme. Les systèmes de prestation de services doivent donc mettre au point des approches pouvant répondre aux spécificités culturelles.

Spanish

Se examinó la relación entre los jóvenes sin hogar en los Estados Unidos y en Corea del Sur, en el contexto de la juventud en desamparo, como una preocupación creciente a nivel global. Aunque algunos aspectos de la vida en la calle transcienden la cultura, las conductas individuales y grupales variaron de acuerdo con perspectivas relativas al individualismo o al colectivismo. Los sistemas de otorgamiento de servicios necesitan desarrollar intervenciones culturalmente específicas.

Key Words: adolescent peer relationships • collectivism • homeless youth • individualism • service delivery
