The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of out-of-school adolescents' social stigma on smart-phone addiction through career disorders and depression. In the process that social stigma of adolescents outside of school affects smart-phone addiction, the mediating effect of career barriers and depression was verified. The subjects of this study were 318 subjects who participated in the 5th year survey of out-of-school youth panel by the Korea Youth Policy Institute. For data analysis, the correlations and mediating effects between major variables were verified. As a result of the study, first, all of the major variables were found to have statistically significant correlations. Second, the social stigma of out-of-school adolescents was found to have an effect on smart-phone addiction through career disorders and depression, confirming a double mediation. In addition, in the process in which out-of-school adolescents' social stigma affects smart-phone addiction, it was confirmed that career disorder and depression were respectively mediated, but social stigma did not have a significant effect on smart-phone addiction. Based on these results, prevention of smart-phone addiction among out-of-school adolescents and intervention methods and implications for youth coaching were presented.

This study was conducted to identify the causal pathways of variables affecting life satisfaction in adolescents with disabilities to establish a basis for concrete intervention in their daily lives. This study was conducted on 239 adolescents with disabilities aged 9 to 24 years who responded to the survey on the actual conditions of people with disability in 2017. The SPSS macro process was used for analysis of the dual mediation effect. The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between instrumental daily life performance capacity, life satisfaction, Self-Rated Health, and participation in culture and leisure activities. It confirmed the mediating effects of Self-Rated Health and cultural leisure activities when the instrumental daily life performance capacity affected life satisfaction. This confirmed the dual mediating effect of instrumental daily life performance capacity on life satisfaction through causal pathways of Self-Rated Health and participation in cultural leisure activities. Based on the results of this study, it was possible to identify the focus of practical intervention through the identification of sequential pathways of Self-Rated Health and cultural and leisure activities on influence of instrumental daily life performance capacity and life satisfaction in adolescents with disabilities.
