부모의 부정적 양육태도가 청소년의 사이버 비행에 미치는 영향: 그릿과 공격성의 이중매개효과

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the dual mediating effects of grit and aggression on the relationship between adolescents’ perceptions of negative parenting attitudes and cyber delinquency. Methods The data were drawn from 2,590 first-year middle school students participating in the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS 2018) conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute of Korea. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using SPSS 25.0, and Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between variables. To verify the dual mediation effects of grit and aggression on the relationship between negative parenting attitudes and cyber delinquency, Hayes’ (2022) PROCESS Macro 4.0, model 6, was used. Results First, the correlation analysis revealed that negative parenting attitudes, as perceived by adolescents, negatively influenced grit and positively influenced aggression and cyber delinquency. Grit negatively affected both aggression and cyber delinquency, while aggression positively influenced cyber delinquency. Second, grit and aggression were found to have significant mediating effects on the relationship between negative parenting attitudes and cyber delinquency. Lastly, grit and aggression demonstrated significant dual mediating effects in this relationship. Conclusions These findings underscore the importance of improving parenting attitudes to prevent cyber delinquency among adolescents. Additionally, the study highlights the need for educational intervention programs aimed at fostering grit and reducing aggression to support the healthy development of adolescents.
