Abstract

This study examined the influential relationship between self-differentiation, interpersonal relationships, and social support of adolescent North Korean defectors as well as the mediating effects of social support in the relationship between self-differentiation and interpersonal relationships. For this study, the participants were selected among student North Korean defectors aged between 9 and 24 years. With these participants, a survey was conducted from November 4 to December 14, 2019. Two hundred eighteen questionnaires were used in the analyses, which were conducted with SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. The analyses yielded the following findings. The self-differentiation of the adolescent North Korean defectors had a positive impact on interpersonal relationships. The self-differentiation of adolescent North Korean defectors had a positive impact on social support, and the social support of adolescent North Korean defectors had a positive impact on interpersonal relationships. In the relationship between self-differentiation of adolescent North Korean defectors and their interpersonal relationship, social support had a mediating effect. This study showed that by improving the level of social support and self-differentiation of adolescent North Korean defectors, it would be possible to improve their interpersonal relationship issues.

본 연구는 북한이탈 청소년의 자아분화, 대인관계와 사회적지지의 영향관계를 분석하고 자아분화와 대인관계의 관계에서 사회적지지에 대한 매개효과를 분석하여 북한이탈 청소년의 대인관계 질적 수준 향상을 위한 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 탈북학생 중에서 9세 이상 24세 미만인 자로 정하여, 2019년 11월 4일부터 12월 14일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총 218부의 자료가 분석에 사용되었고, SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 사용하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 북한이탈 청소년의 자아분화는 대인관계에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 북한이탈 청소년의 자아분화는 사회적지지에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 북한이탈 청소년의 사회적지지는 대인관계에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 넷째, 북한이탈 청소년의 자아분화와 대인관계의 관계에서 사회적지지는 매개효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 북한이탈 청소년의 대인관계에 영향을 미치는 변인을 확인함으로써 직접적인 관계를 규명하고, 자아분화와 대인관계 간에서 사회적지지의 매개관계를 밝힘으로써 대인관계의 어려움을 겪는 북한이탈 청소년에게 자아분화와 사회적지지 수준의 증진을 통해 대인관계문제를 개선할 수 있음을 검증하는데 의의가 있다.
