Abstract

The current study examined the latent mean analysis and path analysis comparison between male and female groups in the structural relationships among parent-child conversation, peer attachment, satisfaction in teacher at a community child care center, ego-resiliency, self-esteem, and career identity in adolescents who attend a community child care center. For this purpose, 438 adolescents who participated in the 4th(2017) questionnaire in the 2nd child panel of the community child care center were used. From the analysis results, first, peer attachment and satisfaction in teacher at a community child care center increased ego-resiliency and career identity, but parent-child conversation did not predict ego-resiliency and career identity. Peer attachment and satisfaction in teacher at a community child care center was fully mediated by ego-resiliency and self-esteem to career identity. Second, in the latent mean analysis, male students showed significantly higher latent mean values in ego-resiliency and self-esteem than female students, while female students showed significantly higher latent mean values in parent-child conversation than male students. Third, multi-group analysis revealed different paths to career identity between the genders. Peer attachment can buffer the effect of ego-resiliency and self-esteem on career identity of male students, but satisfaction in teacher at a community child care center buffers more on the ego-resiliency of female students. The results of this study suggest that social support for enhancing ego-resiliency and self-esteem is needed to encourage career identity, and that gender needs to be considered.

본 연구의 목적은 지역아동센터 이용 청소년의 부모-자녀 대화, 또래애착, 센터교사만족도, 자아탄력성, 자아존중감, 진로정체감 간 구조적 관계를 탐색하고, 성별에 따른 잠재평균 및 구조모형의 경로계수의 크기 차이를 검증하는 것이다. 지역아동센터 아동패널조사 2기 패널 4차 조사(2017년)의 청소년 438명이 분석 대상이다. 첫째, 구조모형 분석 결과, 또래애착 및 센터교사만족도는 자아탄력성과 자아존중감에 정적 영향을 미치는 반면, 부모-자녀 대화는 자아탄력성, 자아존중감에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 또래애착 및 센터교사만족도는 자아탄력성, 자아존중감을 매개로 진로정체감에 정적 영향을 미치는 완전매개효과가 확인되었다. 둘째, 잠재평균분석 결과, 남학생이 여학생보다 자아탄력성, 자아존중감이 더 높은 반면, 여학생이 남학생보다 부모-자녀 대화 정도가 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 다집단 경로계수 크기 차이 검증 결과, 남학생은 여학생보다 또래애착이 자아탄력성과 자아존중감에 더 많은 영향을 미치며, 여학생은 남학생보다 센터교사만족도가 자아탄력성에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 지역아동센터 이용 청소년의 진로정체감을 향상시키기 위해서는 사회적 지지 체계를 통한 자아탄력성과 자아존중감을 높이는 것이 필요하며, 이때 성별에 따른 차별적 특성을 고려한 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.
