비이주배경 청소년의 이주민 권리 인정에 대한 국가 수준 제도요인 분석

Abstract

[Purpose] This study aims to explore how attitudes toward recognizing the diverse rights that immigrants should enjoy as humans change according to the level of institutionalization of equality in a country, with a focus on non-immigrant-background adolescents. Specifically, based on the contact theory that various types of 'contact' promote positive attitudes toward specific groups, the study examines the role that the nation's institutions can play as a contact environment.
 [Methods]The study utilizes data from international assessments such as PISA, MIPEX, and World Bank to analyze factors at the individual, school, and national levels. A hierarchical linear model is applied to identify factors at three levels.
 [Results] The main findings of this study are as follows. First, in countries with a high level of institutionalization of equality, non-immigrant-background adolescents show positive recognition of the rights of immigrant adolescents. Second, adolescents who have direct contact with immigrant peers in the friend group and the attending school tend to have a more positive recognition of immigrant rights than those who do not. Third, there is an interactive effect between the level of institutionalization of equality and direct contact with immigrant peers within the school.
 [Conclusion] Direct contact with immigrant peers is crucial for non-immigrant-background adolescents to positively recognize the rights of immigrants, especially in peer groups where close relationships can be formed. Non-immigrant-background adolescents in countries with a high level of equality institutionalization tend to have a more positive recognition of immigrant rights, and state institutions guaranteeing equality can play a greater role in driving the attitude of non-immigrant-background adolescents in contact with immigrants, who are relatively distant in social relationships.
