남녀 청소년의 자아탄력성 및 사회적 지지와 심리적 안녕감 간의 구조적 관계

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between adolescents’ resilience, perceived social support, and psychological well-being and identify gender differences in the pathways. The participants were 205 male adolescents and 201 female adolescents. Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling and multiple group analysis using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0. The results were as follows. First, adolescent resilience had a significant effect on both perceived social support from parents, teachers, and peers and psychological well-being, and perceived social support partially mediated the effects between adolescent resilience and psychological well-being. Second, the results of the multiple group analysis showed that there was no significant difference in any path-loading between male and female adolescents. These results confirmed the importance of building adolescents’ inner strength and close and immediate social support to promote the healthy adjustment and happiness of adolescents.
