Abstract

The study examined the effects of individual, family, and environmental factors on adolescents' self-esteem. Individual factors were the adolescents' health status and their leisure activity experiences, while the family factors were families' socio-economic status(SES) and parenting styles. Three environmental factors focusing on the adolescents' school environment were studied, and they consisted of academic attachment, peer attachment, and teacher attachment. The study inquiries were as follows: which individual factors had an effect on the adolescents' self-esteem? Which family factors had an effect on the adolescents' self-esteem? Which environmental factors had an effect on the adolescents' self-esteem? Of all the factors considered in this study, which factors had the greatest effect on adolescents' self-esteem? This study used data from the 3rd Korean Child and Youth Panel survey of Korean students in the first grade of middle school, and the data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0. The results were as follows: the most important factor that have an effect on adolescents' self-esteem was parenting style, while peer attachment, health status, and academic attachment were also found to significantly affect adolescents' self-esteem. In the conclusion, the researchers suggest various strategies based on results of the analysis to improve adolescents' self-esteem.

본 연구에서는 청소년의 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 개인, 가족, 환경요인을 살펴보았다. 개인요인으로 건강상태, 여가·체험 활동을 살펴보고, 가족요인으로 경제적 수준, 부모의 양육방식을 고려하였다. 그리고 환경요인은 학교환경에 초점을 두고 성적, 또래관계, 교사관계를 검토하였다. 이와 관련하여 제시한 연구문제는 첫째, 청소년의 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 개인요인은 무엇인가? 둘째, 청소년의 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 가족요인은 무엇인가? 셋째, 청소년의 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 환경요인은 무엇인가? 넷째, 청소년의 자아존중감에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인가?이다. 연구문제 검토를 위해 한국아동·청소년패널조사(KYPS)의 중학교 1학년(3차년) 자료를 사용하였으며, 선정된 자료는 SPSS 18.0의 다중회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 청소년의 자아존중감에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요인은 가족요인인 부모의 양육방식이었으며, 다음으로 환경요인인 또래애착, 개인요인인 건강상태, 환경요인인 성적 순으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 부모의 양육방식이 긍정적이고, 또래애착이 높으며, 건강하다고 인식할수록, 성적이 높을수록 자아존중감이 높음을 알 수 있다. 결론에서는 연구결과를 기반으로 청소년의 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
