북한이탈주민들의 회복탄력성과 사회적 지지가 외상 후 성장에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구

Abstract

This study aims to verify the impact of North Korean defectors' resilience and social support on their post-traumatic growth. In this study, the independent variable was selected as resilience, the parameter as social support, and the dependent variable as post-traumatic growth. In this study, questionnaires were distributed to 256 North Korean defectors and the 150 copies collected were analyzed using SPSS 20. First, the descriptive statistics of the variables and the correlations between variables were confirmed. Afterwards, the hypothetical model was tested, and finally, it was confirmed whether the independent variable, resilience, and the mediating variable, social support, affect post-traumatic growth. According to data analysis results, the resilience of North Korean defectors was found to have a significant impact on post-traumatic growth. Additionally, among social supports, emotional support and informational support were found to have a statistically significant effect on post-traumatic growth. Based on the research results, suggestions were made to strengthen the resilience of North Korean defectors and establish a social support system.
