청소년의 심리적 건강에 대한 청소년과 부모의 인식 차이와 예측 요인

Abstract

This study aimed to identify parent-adolescent discrepancies in their individual reports on the adolescent’s psychological health status and predictors of such discrepancies. The data came from the second wave(2015) of the “Seoul Education and Health Welfare Panel (SEWHP),” which consisted of 756 parent-adolescent pairs. The crossover analysis using Kappa coefficients, t-test, and logistic analysis were conducted. Key findings of the study were as follows. First, Cohens Kappa coefficient of 0.184 showed that the level of agreement between parents and adolescents in adolescent’s psychological health status was poor. Parents showed more positive perspectives on their children’s psychological health than adolescents themselves. Second, there was a significant difference in adolescent’s psychosocial adjustment between the discrepancy group and the non-discrepancy group. Adolescents in the discrepancy group showed lower life satisfaction and higher daily stress than adolescents in the non-discrepancy group. Third, the only significant predictor of the discrepancy in reporting of parent and adolescent was the frequency of family activities. Parent-teacher communication and parent supervision were not significant. The more frequently families engaged inactivities together, the higher the likelihood of belonging to the non-discrepancy group than the discrepancy group existed. Implications of lower parent-adolescent discrepancy were discussed.
