본 연구의 목적은 일반가정 청소년과 다문화가족 청소년의 위험 음주에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 제13차 2017년 청소년 건강행태 온라인 조사를 사용하였으며 일반가정 청소년 61,320명과 다문화가족 청소년 956명을 구분하여 각각 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 일반가정 청소년과 다문화가족 청소년의 위험 음주에 영향을 미치는 공통 변수는 흡연과 혼술로 나타났다. 둘째, 일반가정 청소년의 위험 음주에 영향을 미치는 변수는 성별, 학교급, 우울감, 양부모 여부, 술 구매 용이성, 거주 지역, 용돈으로 나타났다. 셋째, 다문화가족 청소년의 경우, 아버지 학력만이 위험 음주에 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 일반가정 청소년과 다문화가족 청소년의 위험 음주를 감소시킬 수 있는 방법에 대해서 논의했다.

본 연구는 결혼 이주 가정 및 중도입국 청소년들의 민족 정체성 탐색 및 형성과 그 맥락적 조건들을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 연구자들은 일반 중고등학교에 재학 중인 13-17세 결혼 이주 및 중도 입국 청소년 17명과 심층 인터뷰를 진행했으며, 연구결과 참여자들의 민족 정체성이 다양한 차원으로 구성되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 구체적으로, 청소년들의 민족 정체성을 이해하는 데에는 스스로 규정하기, 규정의 근거, 정체성에 대한 개인의 정서적 반응, 그리고 정체성의 형성 상태 등 다양한 측면들이 중요하게 관여되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 청소년들은 자신의 민족 정체성과 관련된 다양한 사회 문화적 경험들을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 이주 청소년 연구 및 서비스 제공을 위한 학문적, 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

Objectives: This study investigated the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms among biethnic adolescents in South Korea. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 4141 biethnic adolescents using data from the 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families. Perceived ethnic discrimination was measured using the question "Have you ever been discriminated against or ignored because either of your parents is not a Korean?" with an assessment of depressive symptoms over the past 12 months. Logistic regression was applied to examine potential associations between perceived ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms. Results: Among 4141 biethnic adolescents, 558 (13.5%) reported having experienced ethnic discrimination. The most common discriminatory perpetrators were friends (n=241, 5.8%), followed by strangers (n=67, 1.6%). Depressive symptoms were related to experience of ethnic discrimination (odds ratio [OR], 3.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.89 to 4.98) after adjusting for potential confounders. In an analysis focusing on the perpetrators of discrimination, depressive symptoms were found to be associated with perceived ethnic discrimination from friends (OR, 3.95; 95% CI, 2.75 to 5.68), teachers (OR, 4.53; 95% CI, 2.16 to 9.51), family members and relatives (OR, 3.89; 95% CI, 1.59 to 9.48), neighbors (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.14 to 5.38), and strangers (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.30 to 4.79). Furthermore, the OR for depressive symptoms among those exposed to 1, 2, or 3 or more discriminatory perpetrators were 3.61 (95% CI, 2.49 to 5.24), 3.61 (95% CI, 1.68 to 7.74), and 6.69 (95% CI, 2.94 to 15.22), respectively. Conclusions: According to our findings, friends were the most common perpetrators of discrimination and the experience of ethnic discrimination was associated with depressive symptoms among biethnic adolescents in South Korea.

This study examined the effects of perceived discrimination on multicultural adolescents regarding feelings of conflict over their ethnic identity by investigating the moderating role of father-child open communication and mother-child open communication mediated by bicultural competence. A total of 234 middle school students (grades 7-8; 139 girls and 95 boys) from multicultural families, from which the father is Korean and the mother is not, participated in the study. Data was collected through an online self-report questionnaire and was analyzed via SPSS 26.0 and Process (Version 4.1) MACRO. The results can be summarized as follows. First, bicultural competence mediated the effects of perceived discrimination on feelings of conflict over one's ethnic identity. Enhanced bicultural competence resulting from a lower perception of discrimination contributed to a reduction in feelings of conflict over one's ethnic identity. Second, the moderated mediation effect of fatherchild open communication was significant, while the effect of mother-child open communication was not. Thus, the mediation relationship (lower perceived discrimination increased bicultural competence and, thus, reduced conflict over one's ethnic identity) grew stronger as the level of father-child open communication increased. The significance of this study lies in uncovering the causal relationships between individual and environmental factors that contribute to ethnic identity development among multicultural adolescents, particularly highlighting the important role of Korean fathers within multicultural households.
