This paper deals with girls aged 13 to 21 who have run away from home. Social workers who work with such girls point out that they are not a homogeneous population and that their motives can be very different. This study divides their motives for running away into two types, "running from" and "running to", and describes the specific personality traits associated with each. Findings indicate that girls who "run to" are younger, more impulsive, have an internal locus of control and a history of more runaways and longer periods of staying away from home. Girls who "run from", on the other hand, are older, more reflective, have an external locus of control and a history of more runaways and longer periods of staying away from home. Girls who "run from", on the other hand, are older, more reflective, have an external locus of control and a history of fewer runaways and shorter periods away from home.
