Abstract

The purpose of this study is two-fold. One is to investigate the relationship between parental psychological/behavioral control and adolescents' self-esteem and their internalized/externalized problems. The other is to examine if self-esteem mediate the effects of parental control upon adolescents' internalized/externalized problems. Total of 355 girls(52%) and boys(48%) from middle(48%) and high school(52%) were participated. Results indicated that adolescents' self-esteem, and internalized/externalized problems were negatively related to parental psychological control, and positively related to parental behavioral control. It was also found that self-esteem partially mediated the effects of parental psychological control upon adolescents' internalized problems, and completely mediated the effects of parental behavioral control on their internalized as well as externalized problems. Some implications for advisable parenting behaviors were discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 부모의 심리 및 행동통제와 청소년의 자존감 및 내 외현문제 간에 어떤 상관이 있는지, 그리고 청소년 개인의 자존감이 부모통제와 이들의 내 외현문제 간을 매개하는지 알아보는 것이다. 중학교와 고등학교 1, 2, 3학년 학생을 대상으로 부/모 심리 및 행동통제, 자존감, 그리고 내현 및 외현문제를 측정하였다. 총 355명(남: 171명, 여:184명; 중학생: 170명, 고등학생: 185명)의 자료가 분석되었다. 부모심리통제는 낮을수록, 행동통제는 높을수록 청소년의 자존감이 높고 내 외현문제는 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 자존감이 높을수록 내 외현문제도 많은 것으로 나타났다. 자존감은 부모심리통제와 내현문제 간을 부분매개, 부모행동통제와 내현 및 외현문제 간을 완전매개 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리나라의 가족주의 문화나 입시위주의 경쟁적 교육환경이 이러한 결과에 영향을 미쳤을 가능성을 제기하였으며, 바람직한 부모양육행동에 대한 시사점을 논의하였다.
