본 연구의 목적은 자아존중감이 청소년의 우울 성향에 미치는 영향에서 부모공감의 조절효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 A소재 중 고등학생 437명을 대상으로 자기보고식 자아존중감척도, 우울척도 및 부모공감척도를 실시하였고, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 청소년 자아존중감과 우울 성향간의 관계는 부모공감에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 부모공감의 하위요인들의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 아버지의 경우 청소년 자아존중감과 우울 성향의 관계에서 정서지각, 공감적 정서반응, 냉담한 정서반응이 조절효과를 보였고, 어머니의 경우 냉담한 정서반응, 과민한 정서반응이 청소년의 자아존중감과 우울 성향간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 의의는 자아존중감이 낮고, 우울감을 경험하는 청소년에 대한 부모공감의 중요성을 밝혔다는 것이다.
