Abstract

This study aimed to identify variables related to violence affecting adolescents' depression. For this study, 1011 adolescents were surveyed in D city of Korea. Major results were as follows. First, it was found out that adolescents' depression was significantly different depending on gender, academic achievement, family income level, school level. Second, depression, domestic violences, school violence victimizations and bullying behaviors were positively correlated. Third, As a hierarchical regression analysis, it was found that the explanatory power of domestic violence and school violence were significant for both male and female adolescents. And the explanatory power of domestic violence was higher than school violence. Lastly, based on these results, the ways to reduce adolescents' depression were discussed.

본 연구는 청소년의 우울감에 영향을 미치는 폭력 관련 변인의 영향력을 규명하는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위하여 충청남도 D시에서 중고등학교 청소년 1011명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료는 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관분석, 평균차이분석 및 위계적 회귀분석 기법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 우울감은 일반적 특성 중 성별, 학업성취도, 가족 소득 수준 및 학교급에서 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 상관분석 결과 우울감은 가정학대 경험과 학교폭력 피해 및 가해와 모두 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 위계적 회귀분석 결과 남학생, 여학생 모두 가정학대, 학교 폭력 요인의 설명력이 유의하였고 가정학대의 설명력이 학교 폭력 관련 요인보다 더 높게 나타났다. 끝으로 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 청소년들의 우울감을 낮추기 위한 방안을 논의하였다.
