Abstract

The study is aimed at examining the influence of empathy and pro-social behavior on school life happiness of multicultural and Korean adolescents through sports activities. The results of the analysis of total 461 adolescents participating in sports activities and not participating in sports activities are as follows. Adolescents participating in sports activities have higher levels of empathy, pro-social behavior and school life happiness than those who do not participate. And the more experience involved in sports activities, the higher the level of empathy, the level of pro-social behavior and the level of school life happiness. There is a significant correlation between empathy and pro-social behavior and school life happiness. Empathy and pro-social behavior factors affecting school life happiness are statistically influencing factors such as "relationship formation", "communication", "cooperation", "assistance", "emotional expression", and "comfort". The results of this study suggest the importance of dealing with empathy and pro-social behavior through sports activities in the school life happiness of multicultural families and Korean adolescents.

이 연구는 스포츠 활동에 함께 참여하는 다문화 청소년과 한국 청소년들의 공감과 친사회적 행동이 학교생활행복에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있었으며, 스포츠 활동에 참여하는 청소년과 참여하지 않는 청소년 총 461명을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 스포츠 활동에 참여하며, 스포츠 활동 경력이 많을수록 공감과 친사회적 행동 및 학교생활행복 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 스포츠 활동에 참여하는 청소년들의 공감과 친사회적 행동 및 학교생활행복 하위요인들 간에는 정적인 상관관계가 있었으며, 학교생활행복에 영향을 미치는 공감과 친사회적 행동 하위요인들로는 관계형성과 의사소통, 협동하기, 도움주기, 감정표현, 위안하기의 요인들이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과들은 다문화가정과 한국가정 청소년들의 학교생활행복에 있어서 스포츠 활동을 통한 공감과 친사회적 행동에 대해 다루는 것의 중요성을 시사한다.
