Abstract

In this study, by classifying latent groups for disaster safety awareness focusing on the four sub-factors of the developed disaster awareness scale of high school students, the characteristics of each group were examined, and the differences between latent classes according to inter-individual differences were investigated. As a result of analysis based on the data of a total of 1054 high school students, the disaster safety awareness of high school students was classified into three latent groups. Each latent group was named 'High Safety Awareness Type(SAT)', 'Normal SAT', and 'Low SAT' according to its characteristics. In all four fire safety awareness sub-factors, 'High SAT', which had a high score, accounted for 56.5% of the total, and 'Normal SAT', which had a moderate score in the sub-factors, had the lowest ratio at 20.3%. There were no significant differences by gender, grade, and academic achievement of the latent group. These results are not only meaningful as the first study of the latent profile analysis of high school students on disaster safety awareness, but also help to identify the characteristics of individuals in each latent group with more subdivisions and provide useful data for disaster safety awareness education according to individual differences. The implications of this study and suggestions for follow-up studies were discussed.
