Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of latent profiles of high school students' fire safety awareness and to identify the characteristics of related variables. For this purpose, a survey was conducted from March 22 to May 25, 2021 for 1054 high school students (male; 569, female; 485) in 3 cities, in Jeollabuk-do. The latent profile was analyzed using a scale consisting of 4 sub-factors: 'fire prevention', 'fire preparedness', 'indirect fire response', and 'direct fire response'. It was checked whether there were differences according to the inter-individual differences of the latent group. As a result of the analysis, fire safety awareness of high school students was classified into three latent profiles. The three groups were named 'High Perception Type', 'Moderate Perception Type', and 'Low Perception Type' according to their types. In fire safety awareness, there is a significant difference in the individual differences according to the gender and academic achievement of the latent profile. These results are meaningful as the first study to analyze the latent profile of high school students' fire safety awareness, and it is also meaningful to provide a useful basis for the contents and methods of customized fire safety education by identifying the tendencies of spontaneous groups and their fire safety awareness.
