Abstract

Objectives Since this study analyzes the research trends on depression of multicultural adolescents, the purpose of this study was to present the research direction of depression of multicultural adolescents and to derive necessary measures. Methods To this end, this study targeted domestic academic papers published in KCI registered sites, KCI candidate sites, or KCI excellent registrations using the main academic database of RISS of the Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), a specialized search site. The search was from July to August 2022, and the papers were studied from 2010 to 2021, and a total of 105 papers were searched. Among them, a total of 52 papers were identified regarding the dependent variables affecting depression that were examined in this study. Among them, after deleting two papers that independent variables did not directly affect depression, a total of 50 subjects were analyzed in this study. Results First, in terms of each research period, it is gradually increasing from 2010 to 2021. Second, in terms of research methods, there were 48 quantitative studies and 2 qualitative studies, and 39 panel data, 9 surveys, and 2 interviews in data collection. Third, in terms of related variables, it was largely divided into personal characteristics, schools and institutions, families and parents, communities, and countries. Among them, studies affecting depression among multicultural adolescents mainly dealt with the relationship between society and individuals, the relationship with parents, which is a human relationship, and self-concepts. Based on the above results, the direction and proposal for future research on depression of multicultural adolescents were revealed. Conclusions First, teenagers from Korea, intermediate immigration, and North Korea are all considered multicultural teenagers, but each has different attributes and tendencies. Qualitative research is appropriate to examine more specific parts of multicultural youth depression. Second, many studies on depression in multicultural adolescents have been studied as panel data due to the advantages of panel data that are not suppressed by time and space, and tend to rely heavily on panel data. Despite the fact that there are surveys that can compensate for the lack of prescription in panel data, the reason why there are not many uses is that more time, manpower, and money should be spent than ordinary teenagers. Third, in order to reduce depression in multicultural adolescents, it will be helpful to focus on the relationship between society and individuals, the relationship with parents, and the self-concept, which is a human relationship.
