Abstract

This study examined the potential mediating mechanisms underlying the association between peer victimization and school adjustment. 521 children in the fifth and sixth grades were recruited from primary schools in Korea. Peer nomination and self-reports were used to measure peer victimization, cognitive representations, and school avoidance. Academic achievement records were obtained from official school records. The findings indicated that peer victimization contributed to school avoidance and academic achievement by different pathways. The association between peer victimization and school avoidance was indirectly mediated by perceptions of the self and peers. In contrast, peer victimization was directly associated with academic achievement.

본 연구는 또래 괴롭힘 피해와 학교적응의 관계에서 자아 및 또래 지각의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 초등학교 5, 6학년 남녀 아동 521명이다. 또래 지명법을 사용하여 또래 괴롭힘의 피해가 측정되었고 자기 보고법을 사용하여 자아 및 또래 지각과 학교 회피가 측정되었다. 연구결과를 보면, 자아 및 또래 지각은 또래 괴롭힘 피해와 학교적응의 관계에서 완전 매개 효과가 있었으며, 반면에 또래 괴롭힘 피해는 학업 성취에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
