Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of bicultural acceptance attitudes in Korean culture and mother's countries, which are sub-factors of multicultural adolescents' bicultural acceptance, on their intention of school dropout through self-esteem. For the analysis, the 1,105 subjects were selected from the 8th(2018) the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study(MAPS). The data collected were analyzed by various research methods including correlation analysis, regression analysis and sobel test. The main results are as follows. First, bicultural acceptance of multicultural adolescents reduced their intention of school dropout. Second, self-esteem had a partial mediating effect in the causal relationship between multicultural adolescents' bicultural acceptance in Korean culture and intention of school dropout. Third, the effect of bicultural acceptance in mother's countries of multicultural adolescents on intention of school dropout was completely mediated by their self-esteem. On the basis of the findings, practical programs to decrease the intention of school dropout and to enhance self-esteem of multicultural adolescents were suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화청소년의 이중문화수용이 학업중단의도에 미치는 영향과 자아존중감의 매개효과를 설명하는 데 있다. 분석을 위해 다문화패널(MAPS) 8차년도(2018) 자료를 사용하였으며 1,105명을 대상자로 선정하여 회귀분석과 sobel test 등의 분석방법을 통해 검증하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 다문화청소년의 이중문화수용은 학업중단의도를 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 다문화청소년의 한국문화수용과 학업중단의도와의 관계에서 자아존중감은 부분매개 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 다문화청소년의 외국문화수용과 학업중단의도와의 관계에서 자아존중감은 완전매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 다문화청소년의 학업중단의도를 낮추고 자아존중감을 향상시키기 위한 실천적 방안을 제시하였다.
