Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine whether fandom activity of adolescents mediates ego - resilience when affecting self - esteem. For this, data from the 7th year (2016) of the first 4 panels of the Korea Child and Youth Panel Survey were used and the questionnaire of 2,378 first - year high school students was used for the analysis. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the fandom activity showed a positive predictive value of negative self - resilience. Second, the fandom activity predicted the self - esteem as a negatively. Third, ego - resilience predicts self - esteem statistically and significantly. Fourth, ego - resilience partially mediated the relationship between fandom activity and self - esteem. In other words, it is confirmed that the fandom activity directly lowers the self - esteem but indirectly decreases through the ego - resilience. This study can be meaningful in that it examines the effect of the fandom activity on the self - esteem of the adolescents and the process leading to it.
