Abstract

This study attempted to examine the effect of self-esteem and self-compassion on depression in high school students. Data were collected by 297 high school students using a self-questionnaire. With SPSS 21.0, frequencies, percentages, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data. As a result of the analysis, self-esteem and self-compassion were identified as variables that influence depression. Self-esteem and self-compassion had 63% of the explanatory power for depression, and self-compassion was identified as a variable that more affected depression than self-esteem. Therefore, research is proposed to develop and apply programs that can improve low self-esteem and increase self-compassion for depression intervention in high school students.

본 연구는 고등학생의 우울에 자아존중감과 자기자비가 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 편의 추출된 고등학교의 학생을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 297명의 자료를 분석한 결과 자아존중감과 자기자비 모두 우울에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 자아존중감과 자기자비는 음의 영향력을 가지는 변수로 우울에 대한 설명력은 63%이었고, 자아존중감보다 자기자비가 우울에 더 큰 영향력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 고등학생들의 우울을 중재하기 위해 낮은 자아존중감을 높이고 자기자비 수준을 높일 수 있는 프로그램개발과 적용의 연구를 제언한다.
