This study examined the relationship between physical education and externalizing(aggression) and internalizing(depression, social withdrawal) problem behaviors among adolescents. The moderating role of gender and time in the association between physical education and problem behavior was also identified. This study used data from the second, third, and fourth waves of the middle school student cohort (N=2,133, N=2,151, N=1,979) of the Korean Children-Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS). Main analyses involved multilevel growth model with interaction terms. The dependent variables were aggression, depression, and social withdrawal. The independent variables were gender and physical education (exercise hours) at school. The control variables were abuse, school-adjustment, annual household income and parents' highest level of education. The major longitudinal findings of this study are as follows: First, there was significant change according to the passage of time only in aggression among externalizing and internalizing problems. Second, gender differences exist in aggression and depression. Third, exercise hours of physical education had a negative relationship with internalizing problems. Fourth, there were no gender differences over time in both externalizing and internalizing problems. Fifth, the interaction between exercise hours of physical education and time was statistically significant for social withdrawal. Sixth, the interaction between exercise hours of physical education and gender was statistically significant for depression. The results of this study may become an academic basis for suggesting policy directions that promote increased exercise hours in physical education classes at school.

Little is known about the relationships among adolescents'academic stress, self-efficacy, and internalization externalization. Much less is known about whether there is gender differences in the relationships. This study aims to examine (1) the effects of academic stress on internalization externalization, (2) whether self-efficacy mediates the relationships between academic stress and internalization externalization, and (3) whether there is gender difference in the relationships. For these purposes, we used Structural Equation Modeling and multi group analysis involving 2,844 middle school students participated in the Korean Youth Panel Survey. The results are as follows. First, adolescent's academic stress affected internalization externalization. Second, self-efficacy mediated the relationship between academic stress and internalization externalization. Finally, the multiple group analysis results indicated that the path coefficient between academic stress and internalization of girls was significantly greater than that of boys. Based on these results, we discussed theoretical and practical implications and suggested directions for future research on academic stress coping processes among adolescents.

본 연구는 2014년도 전국범죄피해조사 자료를 통해 10대 청소년 1,161명을 대상으로 구체적 범죄 두려움의 영향요인이 무엇인지 살펴보고 그 근거로 사회복지적 개입방안을 모색하고자 실시되었다. 이를 위해 SAS 9.4와 HLM 6.0프로그램을 사용하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 개인 수준에서 성별, 장애유무, 취약성인식으로 여자 청소년이 남자 청소년보다, 장애 청소년이 비장애 청소년보다 그리고 청소년이 취약성인식 정도가 높을수록 구체적 범죄 두려움이 높았다. 그러나 지역수준에서는 유의미한 요인이 없었다. 이에 사회복지사는 성별, 장애유무, 취약성인식을 근거로 안전의 욕구에 관심을 갖고 가정-학교-지역사회가 연계한 공동체 운동 및 안전한 마을 만들기 등의 실천적 개입이 요구된다.
