The main purpose of this study was to examine the mediating roles of mothers' psychological well-being and support/control in the relationship between maternal child-related stress and adolescents' school adjustment. Participants were 389 3rd grade middle school students and their mothers. Mothers completed questionnaires about child-related stress and psychological well-being. Adolescents completed scales of maternal controlling/supportive parenting and school adjustment. Results indicated that a direct effect of mothers' child-related stress on adolescents' school adjustment was not significant. However, mothers' psychological well-being and support/control mediated the relations between child-related stress and adolescents' school adjustment. A higher level of child-related stress in mothers was associated with a lower level of psychological well-being, followed by a lower level of adolescents' school adjustment. Mothers who reported a higher level of child-related stress tended to be less supportive and more controlling, which led to a lower level of school adjustment. These findings suggest the need for considering both maternal characteristics and parenting in explaining adolescents' school adjustment.

본 연구에서는 '청소년의 부모와의 애착관계는 낙관성을 매개로 심리적응과 사회적응에 영향을 미친다'는 이론적 모형을 그룹홈 청소년에게 적용하여 검증하였다. 그룹홈 청소년은 여러 가지 이유로 친부모와 함께 살지 못하고, 대신 부모의 역할을 대행하는 그룹홈 생활교사(대리양육자)와 함께 살기 때문에 '대리양육자와의 애착관계'가 낙관성을 매개로 심리적응과 사회적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 분석 결과, 심리적응 모형과 사회적응 모형 모두에서 낙관성은 애착관계와 심리적응 및 사회적응 사이에서 완전 매개변인으로 작동하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 그동안 사회복지 연구에서 많은 관심을 받지 못했던 '낙관성'의 효과에 관심을 갖게 하며, 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어질 필요성을 시사한다.

This study examined the direct and indirect influences of parental behavioral control on adolescents' school related adjustment by exploring pathways between parental behavioral control, adolescents' anxiety, and school related adjustment. Participants were composed of 319 high school 1st graders (153 male and 165 female students) from the Seoul area. They completed questionnaires on parental behavioral control, adolescents' anxiety, and adolescents' school related adjustment. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients, Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling. It was adapted to SPSS version 19.0 and Amos version 21.0 for Windows. The results indicated that adolescents' anxiety partially mediated the association of parental behavioral control and adolescents' school related adjustment. More concretely, direct effect of adolescents' anxiety on adolescents' school related adjustment were slightly greater than the direct/indirect effects of parental behavioral control on adolescents' school related adjustment. The effect of adolescents' anxiety on adolescents' school related adjustment was the greatest among all associations between research variables. The findings of this study have implications for research and practice that highlights the important considerations for proper parental behavioral control and reducing adolescents' anxiety that should be emphasized to improve adolescents' school related adjustment. We believe that improved parental behavioral control needs to be emphasized when designing prevention and parent intervention education programs for adolescents' psychological problem and school related adjustment.

Data were analyzed by the frequency, percentage, Pearson correlation, stepwise regression using SPSS/WIN program. The results were as followings: 1. There was statistically correlated with each other in environmental high-risk and protective factors except an housing environment. The results implies that environmental contexts itself surrounding adolescents in low-income families can be either high-risk factors or protective factors. 2. The adolescents in low-income families perceived that stresses from consumer and school environments were high-risk factors among other environmental contexts. 3. The adolescents in low-income families perceived that resources from friend and school were protective factors among other environmental contexts. 4. The stresses from friend and eating behaviors were significant factors predicting adolescents'relative psychological adjustment. However, the behavioral adjustment was not predicted by environmental contexts. 5. The resources from school, consumer, and eating behaviors were significant factors predicting adolescents'relative psychological adjustment. Also, the resources from school, eating behavior, and family were predictors of behavioral adjustment. This research implies that the findings can be based on the development of prevention program for adolescents deviant behaviors in low-income families.

본 연구는 부모의 심리적 통제가 청소년의 학교적응에 미치는 영향과 이들의 관계에서 희망의 매개효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 서울과 강원지역의 중 고등학생 403명을 대상으로 t검증, 상관분석, 구조방정식 모형, 다집단 분석을 실시하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부모의 심리적 통제와 청소년의 희망 수준은 청소년의 성별에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 하지만, 학교적응 중 학교교사 요인에서 남학생 집단의 평균이 여학생 집단의 평균보다 높았다. 둘째, 부모의 심리적 통제는 청소년의 학교적응에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기도 하였고 희망을 매개로 하여 학교적응에 간접적으로도 영향을 미쳤다. 즉, 청소년들은 부모의 심리적 통제를 높게 지각할수록 희망 수준이 낮았고, 희망 수준이 낮을수록 학교적응력도 낮았다. 이러한 부모의 심리적 통제와 청소년의 희망 및 학교적응의 관계는 청소년의 성별에 따른 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 청소년이 적응적인 학교생활을 할 수 있도록 부모의 심리적 통제를 감소시키고 청소년의 희망을 증진시키는 다양한 개입이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of mother-adolescent communication time on the relationship between maternal meta-emotion philosophy, adolescent psychological adjustment and depression. The participants for this study comprised 181 first and second grade high school students and their mothers, residing in Seoul. The results of the analyses indicated that, (a) maternal disapproving is negatively correlated to adolescents' positive world views, and that maternal laissez-faire is also negatively correlated to adolescents' emotional responsiveness. However, a positive correlation is revealed between maternal emotion-coaching and adolescents' positive self-esteem. (b) It is evident that adolescents' emotional responsiveness is influenced by maternal laissez-faire, and that adolescents' positive self-esteem is influenced by emotion-coaching. It also indicated that mother-adolescent communication time is influenced by dismissing as well as laissez-faire meta-emotion philosophy. (c) It revealed that mother-adolescent communication time, in part, has a meaningful moderating effect on the relationship between meta-emotion philosophy and adolescent depression. Therefore, the present study indicates that even if maternal disapproving, laissez-faire, or dismissing is practiced, adolescent depression levels decrease as mother-adolescent time lengthens.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm if there are gender differences in influences of parental support, control, and school life adjustment on suicidal ideation of adolescents and to examine the mediating effect of depression on the influences of independent variables on their suicidal ideation. Methods: This study comprised a total of 671 students in seventh and eighth grades in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The data were analyzed for frequency, average, and standard deviation, using the t-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and the Sobel test. Results and Conclusion: First, significant differences among adolescents' gender were shown in fathers' psychological control, mothers' behavior control, and suicidal ideation. Second, in the case of male adolescents, all independent variables were found to have a full mediating effect on their suicidal ideation. Meanwhile, in the case of female adolescents, independent variables except for mothers' psychological control were found to have a full mediating effect on their suicidal ideation. Mothers' psychological control was found to have a partial mediating effect on suicidal ideation of adolescents for both genders.
