Abstract

Drawing from the Korean Child and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS), this study examined the changes in romantic relationship engagement among Korean adolescents across the country over a three-year period and the effects of the individual, familial, and school characteristics on the experience. Panel logit analysis showed that Korean adolescents were more likely to be engaged in a romantic relationship as they became older. Male adolescents were more likely than their female counterparts to have a romantic partner. The higher scores of self-esteem increased the likelihood of adolescents to be in a romantic relationship. On the other hand, having an opposite-sex sibling, the level of parental warmth, and annual household income did not have a significant relationship with the chance of romantic relationship engagement. On the contrary, all school-related variables were statistically related to the odds of being in a romantic relationship. Going to a sex-mixed school increased the odds, whereas academic adjustment and conformity to school rules decreased the likelihood. In addition, the positive relationships with schoolmates and teachers were associated with a higher chance of having a romantic partner. Based on these findings, the implications, limitations, and future research directions were also suggested.

본 연구는 우리나라 청소년들의 연령에 따른 이성교제 여부 변화와 이와 관련된 개인적 특성 및 가족과 학교의 특성을 살펴보는 것을 그 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 한국아동청소년 패널 원자료에서 중학교 1학년 코호트 자료 제 3차(2012년)~제 5차(2014년) 자료의 일부분을 추출하여 사용하였다. 본 연구에 포함된 대상자수는 총 1,961명이었다. 패널로짓분석을 실시한 결과, 연령이 증가함에 따라 청소년들은 이성교제를 할 가능성이 높았다. 또한 남자 청소년이 여자청소년에 비해, 자아존중감이 높은 청소년은 낮은 청소년에 비해 이성교제를 할 확률이 높았다. 그러나 부모의 애정적 양육행동, 이성형제 유무, 가구 소득과 같은 가족 특성은 연구 대상자의 이성교제 참여 확률에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이와 달리 학교 특성은 이성교제 확률에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 남녀공학에 재학 중인 청소년이 그렇지 않은 청소년보다 이성교제를 할 확률이 높았다. 또한 학업과 학교 규칙 적응 정도는 이성교제 확률을 감소시켰으며, 이와 대조적으로 교우와 교사와의 긍정적인 관계는 그 확률을 증가시켰다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 청소년의 이성교제 활성화를 위한 제언과 본 연구의 한계점, 그리고 추후 연구에 대한 방향을 제시하였다.
