The Effects of Family Social Capital and Community Social Capital on Youth's School Adaptation

가족 사회자본과 지역사회 사회자본이 청소년 학교적응에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of family social capital and community social capital on how successfully children adapt to school. Utilizing the second year data from the 1st year of middle school panel found in the 2010 Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical linear model analysis were conducted successively on 2,056 second-year middle school students living in 93 communities. The data produced was used to determine what degree of influence family social capital and community social capital exert on the ability of children to successfully adapt to school. First, 6.1% of the variables relating to school adaptation were explained by differences among communities, and the remaining 93.3% were explained by differences among individuals. Second, the examination of the effects of family social capital showed that students who experienced lower rates of neglect also experienced less abuse, had parents who were more interested in and better informed about their lives, and better adapted to school. Third, the examination of the effects of community social capital showed that the higher the community spirit the communities had, the better the young students in the communities adapted to school. Fourth, when the effects of family social capital and community social capital were examined in conjunction with each other, it was found that the less neglect the students experienced, the less abuse the students experienced, the greater the interest their parents had in their close friends, the better they themselves adapted to school. In relation to community social capital, the level of community spirit was still found to exert positive effects on the ability of young students to successfully adapt to school.

본 연구는 가족 사회자본과 지역사회 사회자본이 청소년 학교적응에 미치는 영향을 다층분석을 통해 검증한 것이다. 한국아동 청소년패널조사 2010 데이터의 중1패널 2차년도 데이터를 활용하여 93개 지역사회에 거주하는 중학교 2학년 청소년 2,056명을 대상으로 기술통계 분석, 상관관계 분석, 위계적 선형모형 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 학교적응 전체변량 중 6.1%가 지역사회 간 차이로 나머지 93.9%가 개인 간 차이로 설명되며 학교적응이 지역사회별로 통계적 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가족 사회자본과 관련하여 방임을 적게 경험할수록, 학대를 적게 경험할수록, 부모가 자녀의 친한 친구들에 대해 관심을 가지고 잘 알수록 자녀가 학교에 더 잘 적응하였다. 셋째, 지역사회 사회자본과 관련하여 공동체의식이 높은 지역사회 청소년이 학교에 더 잘 적응하였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 청소년 학교적응 향상을 위한 가족 사회자본, 지역사회 사회자본 지원 방안을 논의하였다.
