Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of positive factors, which are parental emotional support, and negative factors, such as the type of alienation, during adolescence, on the adolescents' experiences of school violence. The purpose of this study is to more clearly approach the role of parents required during adolescence by analyzing the mediating effect of parental participation in school activities. Methods For this purpose, data from the 6th year of the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study (2013) of the Korea Educational Development Institute was used. The data for students were extracted from adolescents' experiences of victimization of school violence, emotional support from parents, and marginalized variables among parental attachment, and the degree of parental participation in school activities was extracted from the data for parents. The subjects of this study were 5,707 high school first grade students and their parents' data. Results First, the emotional support of parents perceived by adolescents did not have a significant effect on their experiences of school violence. The more adolescents felt alienated from their parents, the more likely they were to experience school violence. Second, both parents' emotional support and alienation perceived by adolescents were found to be variables that significantly affected parents' participation in school activities. When the emotional support of parents perceived by adolescents was high, parents' participation in school activities was high, and the higher the degree of parental alienation, the higher the parent's participation in school activities. Third, it was found that parents' participation in school activities completely mediates between the emotional support of parents and the adolescent children's experiences of school violence, and partially mediates between the alienation among parents and the adolescent children's experiences of school violence. Conclusions The negative relationship between adolescent children and their parents appears to have an effect on the children's negative behavior in school life, so measures to reduce adolescents' experiences of school violence require school education and a cooperative effort with parents. High participation in school activities as parents during adolescence negatively affects adolescents' experiences of school violence, so a parent's role that respects adolescent autonomy is required.
