Abstract

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the timing of the first status deliquency of multicultral adolescents and the factors affecting it. Methods To this end, data from 7,509 multicultural youth panel survey data from 2011 to 2020 were used, and the factors affecting status delinquency were largely divided into individual factors, family factors, and school factors. The descrete-time survival analysis model was used to analyze the first time of onset of status delinquency and and the factors influencing it. Results The first status delinquency of multicultural adolescents decreased somewhat in middle school after the sixth grade of elementary school. However, in the first year of high school, it showed a significant increase again. The individual factors influencing status delinquency were gender and multicultural acceptance, and the family factors were multicultural parents' nationality, parents' cultural adaptation stress, parents' supervisory parenting attitude, and desired children's education level. Significant chool factors were school performance, school adaptation to learning activities, and risk factors for academic interruption. Conclusions In order to lower the status delinquency of multicultural youth, systematic intervention is required from the upper grades of elementary school, where the first status delinquency is relatively high, and systematic information and programs are needed to manage parents' parenting attitudes and cultural adaptation stress. In addition, it is important to support teachers for multicultural youth to learn and adapt to school life.
