Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between parents' parenting attitudes and internal psychological states such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, and life satisfaction perceived by at-risk adolescents. For this purpose, 283 at-risk adolescents(165 females and 117 males) in Busan Metropolitan City were subjected to frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The main results were as follows. First, at-risk adolescents were found to have a positive perception of their parents' parenting attitudes overall, and their perceptions of self-esteem and self-efficacy were positive, while their perceptions of emotional regulation were somewhat negative. In addition, the perception of depression and anxiety was low, but life satisfaction was slightly higher than normal. Second, among parents' parenting attitudes, warmth and autonomy support were found to have a positive relationship with self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and life satisfaction of at-risk adolescents, and were found to have a negative relationship with depression and anxiety. In addition, rejection and coercion among parents' parenting attitudes were found to have a negative relationship with self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and life satisfaction of at-risk adolescents, and were found to have a negative relationship with depression and anxiety. Third, it was found that warmth among parents' parenting attitudes had a positive effect on self-esteem and life satisfaction of at-risk adolescents, and had a negative effect on depression. Coercion among parents' parenting attitudes was also found to have a positive effect on at-risk adolescents' self-esteem, and rejection among parents' parenting attitudes was found to have a negative effect on at-risk adolescents' self-efficacy and life satisfaction, and had a static effect on anxiety. On the other hand, it was found that parents' parenting attitude did not have a statistically significant effect on the emotional regulation of at-risk adolescents. Based on the main results, implications for parent education were presented.
