Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the level, type, transition pattern, and influencing variables of emotional and behavioral problems during middle and high school in learners who perceived themselves as low achievers. For this purpose, we used the 3rd and 5th years (2020, 2022) of the 3rd and 5th year of middle school panel data of the ‘Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018’. The subjects of the study were 1,990 students who participated in the 3rd and 5th years of the survey (3rd year of middle school and 2nd year of high school). 351 (17.64%) low-achieving students were in middle school and 318 (15.98%) were in high school. According to the results, first, among the emotional and behavioral problems of middle and high school students, withdrawal and attention problems were found to be relatively severe. Second, the types of emotional and behavioral problems were classified into five types: emotional and behavioral stability type, externalizing problem dominant type, attention․withdrawal problem dominant type, emotional and behavioral problem attention type, and emotional and behavioral problem concern type. Third, smartphone dependence was consistently shown to be a negative factor in all types of emotional and behavioral problems. Fourth, there was a high rate of movement between the externalizing problem dominant type and the attention․withdrawal dominant type, and between the emotional and behavioral concern type and the emotional and behavioral problem attention type.
