Classification of Latent Class and Prediction Factors of the Relationship between Attention, Agression, Social Withdrawal, Depression and School Adaptation of Middle School Students applying a Regression Mixture Model

Abstract

본 연구는 잠재계층에 따라 주의집중, 공격성, 사회적 위축, 우울과 같은 정서문제가 학교적응에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고, 개인요인인 자아존중감, 자아탄력성, 학교요인인 또래애착, 가족요인인 방임과 학대가 잠재계층에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 정서문제가 학교적응에 영향을 미치는 관계에서 총 3개의 계층이 도출되었고, 각 잠재계층의 특징은 다음과 같다. 먼저 계층1의 경우, 주의집중은 유의미하지 않았고, 공격성, 사회적 위축, 우울이 높음에도 불구하고 학교적응에 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 계층2의 경우, 정서문제는 학교적응에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 계층3의 경우, 정서문제가 낮을수록 학교적응이 높게 나타났다. 또한 영향요인 분석 결과, 자아존중감이 높을수록 계층1 혹은 계층3에 속할 가능성이 높게 나타났고, 방임과 학대가 심할수록 계층2에 속할 가능성이 높았다. 자아탄려성과 또래애착이 높을수록 계층3에 속할 확률이 높았다.This study examines how emotional problems such as attention, aggression, social atrophy, and depression affect school adaptation, depending on the potential class as well as personal factors such as self-esteem, self-resilience, school factors, peer attachment, and family factors, including neglect. According to the data analysis results, a total of three potential classes were derived from the influence of emotional problems on school adaptation, and the characteristics of each potential class are as follows. First, in the case of the latent class 1, attention was not significant to school adaptation, and even although aggression, social withdrawal, and depression were elevated, this had a positive effect on school adaptation. In the case of latent class 2, we found that emotional problems such as attention, aggression, social withdrawal, and depression did not have a significant effect on school adaptation. In the case of latent class 3, the less seere the emotional problems such as attention, aggression, social withdrawal, and depression, the greater the school adaptation. In addition, as a result of analyzing influencing factors, the higher the self-esteem, the higher the probability of belonging to latent class 1 or latent class 3. The more severe neglect and abuse, the higher the likelihood of belonging to latent class 2. The higher the self-reliance and peer attachment, the higher the probability of belonging to class 3.
