본 연구는 연변지역 조선족 가족으로 부모가 해외취업 중인 청소년을 대상으로 한 연구이다. 부모가 해외취업중인 청소년은 부모와의 장기적인 별거로 심리·정서적 어려움을 많이 경험하는 것으로 보고되고 있는데, 본 연구는 부모와의 장기 별거로 우울·불안을 경험하는 청소년의 학교적응을 살펴보고 우울·불안과 학교적응의 관계에서 자아정체감의 조절효과를 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해 연변지역 중·고등학교에 재학 중인 청소년 285명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 해외취업가정 청소년에 해당하는 총 167부의 설문지를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 자료는 SPSS 24.0을 이용하여 위계적 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 중국 연변지역 내 해외취업가정 청소년의 우울·불안은 학교적응에 부정적 영향을 미쳤으며, 우울·불안과 학교적응의 관계에서 자아정체감의 조절효과가 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 결론에서는 이러한 연구결과를 통해 연변지역 내 해외취업가정 조선족 청소년의 우울·불안 수준을 줄이고, 자아정체감의 향상을 통해 학교적응을 높일 수 있는 실천적 대안들을 제시하였다.
