Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct a hypothetical model based on the life satisfaction of multicultural youths and ecological system theory. In this study, the data of 1,197 high school students who participated in the 8th year of the Multicultural Youth Panel Survey (2018) conducted by the Korea Youth Policy Institute were used for the final analysis. The measurement variables consisted of bi-cultural acceptance attitude, achievement motivation, and family support as exogenous variables, self-esteem and school adaptation as endogenous variables, and life satisfaction as outcome variables. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 and Amos 21.0 programs. The hypothetical model calculated chi verification, basic fit index, adjusted fit index, double root of approximate error mean square, comparative fit index, standard fit index, and average difference between elements, and the model was found to be suitable. Factors that directly affect life satisfaction of multicultural adolescents were self-esteem, family support, and school adaptation, In addition, self-esteem and school adaptation were found to be important mediating factors between bi-cultural acceptance attitude, achievement motivation, and family support. Therefore various programs should be prepared to improve the life satisfaction of multicultural youths.
