다문화가정 부모의 적응유형이 자녀의 비행행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Based on Berry''s theory of cultural acculturation, this paper empirically verifies the influence of parents'' cultural adaptation on their children''s delinquency behavior. In this paper, the adaptation types were divided into integration, assimilation, separation, and peripheralization according to the level of maintaining the original cultural identity of parents of multicultural families and the level of new cultural contact and exchange. Based on the family system theory, it is expected that the cultural adaptation type of parents affects the level of family support perceived by their children, as a result, it increases delinquency behavior if their children perceive weak ties with their families. In addition, it was assumed that this influence would vary depending on gender. As analysis data, the 6th data of the NYPI Multicultural Adolescent Panel Survey were used. As a result of the analysis, it was found that male adolescents perceived low support from their families if their parents were unable to fully assimilate due to the high level of new Korean cultural contact exchange, or both the identity of the original culture and contact with Korean culture. However, parental adaptation types or support from family members did not have a statistically significant level of effect on male adolescents'' delinquency behavior. On the other hand, in the case of female adolescents, if both parents'' original cultural identity and level of contact with Korean culture were low, children recognized that the level of support from their families was low, which increased delinquency.
