지역아동센터 이용 초기 청소년이 지각한 사회적 낙인감이 학교생활적응과 우울에 미치는 영향

This study aimed to investigate the impact of social stigma perceived by early adolescents using Community Child Centers on their adaptation to school life and depression. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 320 middle school students among youth who used local children's centers in Busan and Gyeongnam. The collected questionnaires were analyzed through correlation analysis and regression analysis using the SPSS statistical program. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the independent variables and dependent variables set in this study. This means that adaptation to school life and level of depression may vary depending on the social stigma perceived by early adolescents using Community Child Centerss. Second, the sub-factors of social stigma perceived by early adolescents using Community Child Centers were found to have a significant impact on the sub-factors of school life adjustment. This is an important result that shows that in our society, a sense of social stigma exists against early adolescents who use Community Child Centers, and that awareness of this stigma has a negative impact on adolescents' adaptation to school. Third, the sub-factors of social stigma perceived by early adolescents using Community Child Centers were found to have a significant impact on depression. This indicates that social stigma has a negative effect on depression in adolescents, either directly or indirectly, and that they can be affected by social stigma to a greater extent than adults. In summary, the stigma perceived by adolescents using Community Child Centers was found to have a negative impact on their adaptation to school life and depression. Therefore, this suggests that efforts should be made to ensure that Community Child Centers, which are mainly used by poor children and adolescents, not only expand the quantity of services and programs, but also prevent social stigmatization during the service process.

The effects of a Journey of the Brave Counseling Program on anxiety, well-being, and life adjustment in Taiwanese children

The purposes of the current study are two-fold. Study 1 aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) in a Taiwanese sample. Study 2 aimed to explore the immediate and follow-up effects of Journey of the Brave Counseling Program (JBCP) on children’s’ anxiety, well-being, and life adjustment. A review and suggestions were provided for future research and practitioners in educational and counseling fields as reference. In Study 1, the pilot study included 150 to 200 children between ages 11 and 12 in Taoyuan City. In Study 2, we conducted a pretest-posttest nonequivalent groups quasi-experimental design. The participants in this stage were 16 children in an elementary school in Taoyuan City, between ages 11 and 12. After obtaining consent forms from the participants’ guardians, we randomly assigned these participants to an experimental group (N = 8) and a control group (N = 8). The experimental group received a 40-minute JBCP session weekly for ten weeks. The control group received a 40-minute career exploration small group counseling weekly for ten weeks. We administered the SCAS, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and School Life Adjustment Scale in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up test to measure change of anxiety, well-being, and life adjustment of the participants. In addition, the current study implemented some qualitative data, such as group progress notes, group member feedback questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with participants’ homeroom teachers as supplementary data to clarify the effects of the JBCP. In Study 1, we found that the SCAS had a good validity and reliability for Taiwanese children. The results of Study 2 indicated that the JBCP had immediate and follow-up effects on the separation anxiety in the experimental group. With the pretest impact eliminated, the immediate and follow-up effects on overall anxiety in the experimental group were better than those on the control group. However, even though the immediate and follow-up effects of the JBCP on the experimental group were better than the control group but were not significant. Besides, the group member feedback questionnaires and participants’ homeroom teachers all indicated that the experimental group participants had positive attitude toward the JBCP, and they also positively improved their emotions and interpersonal relationships with others.

The Effects of Adolescents' Positive Psychological Capital on School Life Adjustment and School Happiness

본 연구는 청소년의 긍정심리자본이 학교생활적응과 학교행복감에 미치는 영향에 대한 영향을 알아보고자하였다. 이를 위해 대구․경북에 소재한 중학년 320명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 최종 300명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 첫째. 청소년의 긍정심리자본과 학교생활적응, 학교행복감 간에는 통계적으로 유의미한 정적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년의 긍정심리자본이 학교생활적응과학교행복감에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 긍정심리자본의 하위요인 중 복원력이 상대적으로 높은 예측력을 가지는 것으로 나타나 청소년들이 스스로 실패와 고난을 이겨나가는 힘이 있을 때 학교생활적응과 학교행복감이 상승할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 청소년의 학교생활적응과 학교행복감을향상시키기 위해서는 주변 환경의 취약성을 보완하는 것과 더불어 긍정심리자본을 향상시키는 것이 매우 중요함을 시사한다.

중학생의 팬텀활동과 학교생활적응에 대한 잠재전이 분석

The purpose of this study is to use Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 (KCYPS 2018) data to identify latent profile types for fandom activity in the first year of middle school and school adjustment competency in the third year of middle school, and to analyze the transition patterns and predictive factors to each time point. For this purpose, latent transition analysis was conducted. Fandom activities were found to be active when academic helplessness was high or life satisfaction was low. Female students were more likely to be in the online type and male students were more likely to be in the normal type of fandom activity. It was found that the lower the academic helplessness, the higher the life satisfaction, the more positive parenting attitude, the higher the grades, the higher the likelihood of belonging to the excellent school adjustment group. In the passive type of fandom activity, based on the poor school adjustment group or the average school adjustment group, the lower the academic helplessness, the higher the possibility of transfer to the excellent school adjustment group. Through the analysis of the latent profile, it was possible to distinguish the latent classes for the middle school student fandom activities and the school life adjustment group. Individual factors, family factors, and school factors affecting school life adjustment, which were not identified in previous studies, were analyzed inclusively. It is meaningful in that it revealed that factors such as academic helplessness, life satisfaction, parenting attitudes, and academic achievement satisfaction were important in the transition of the potential profile type of fandom activities to school adjustment. Previous studies have used only KCYPS 2018 1st year data as cross- sectional data, but this study is meaningful in that it used longitudinal data including data from 3rd year to analyze metastasis.

The Effect of Career Education Program on Self-esteem and School Life Adjustment of First-year Elementary School Students

이 연구의 목적은 ‘자아이해와 사회적 역량 개발’ 영역을 중심으로 한 진로교육 프로그램이 초등학교 1학년 학생의 자아존중감과 학교생활 적응에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 1학년 2개 학급을 선정하여 각각 실험집단(25명)과 비교집단(25명)으로 하고, 실험집단과 비교집단의 자아존중감과 학교생활 적응의 차이는 t-검증에 의해 분석하였다. 진로교육 프로그램은 총 10차시로, 자아이해 및 긍정적 자아개념 형성 5차시, 대인관계 및 의사소통역량 개발 5차시였다. 이 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, ‘자아이해와 사회적 역량 개발’ 영역을 중심으로 한 진로교육 프로그램은 초등학교 1학년 학생의 자아존중감을 향상시키는데 효과가 있었다. 실험집단과 비교집단의 사후 검사에서 실험 집단의 평균이 높아 유의미한 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 하위요인에서는 학생으로서의 자신에 대한 평가인 학문적 자아존중감이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, ‘자아이해와 사회적 역량 개발’ 영역을 중심으로 한 진로교육 프로그램은 초등학교 1학년 학생의 학교생활 적응을 향상시키는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이는 코로나바이러스감염증-19로 인한 교실에서의 거리두기, 협동 학습과 놀이 시간의 부재 등 학교생활 환경의 변화 때문으로 여겨진다. 반면, 하위요인에서는 교사와의 관계에 대한 적응이 향상되었다. 이 연구에서의 실험 처지는 전면 대면 수업으로 진행되었다. 그러나 코로나바이러스감염증-19 상황으로 교사 및 친구와의 관계나 학교 규칙 적응 등 학교생활의 적응에는 한계가 있었음을 짐작할 수 있다. 따라서 코로나바이러스감염증-19 이전과 같은 대면 수업 상황에서 진로교육 프로그램을 실행하여 그 효과를 검정하는 후속 연구가 필요하다.

The Psychosocial Effects of Taekwondo Training: A Meta-Analysis.

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and international sport, and its psychosocial benefits for its trainees have been studied extensively. This review aims to systematically assess and meta-analyze the effects of Taekwondo training on sociality, character, etiquette, and school life adjustment. We searched the RISS, NDSL, and KISS electronic databases between January 1985 and December 2019. We also included gray literature, such as theses, in addition to peer-reviewed articles. R software (version 3.6.2, R Core Team, Vienna, Austria) was used to synthesize the effect sizes and perform moderation analyses. Twenty-eight studies (24 cross-sectional and four intervention studies) were included in the final meta-analysis. Significant positive effects of Taekwondo training were found on sociality (MD = 0.266, 95% CI: 0.191 to 0.341), character (MD = 0.446, 95% CI: 0.331–0.560), etiquette (MD = 0.562, 95% CI: 0.500–0.624), and school life adjustment (MD = 0.308, 95% CI: 0.195–0.421). Overall, the findings of this meta-analysis support that Taekwondo can have a positive impact on the psychosocial factors of trainees. Due to several limitations discussed, well-designed RCTs and multiple levels of Taekwondo intervention studies should be conducted in future research to validate the current findings.

중학생 다문화 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스와 외모 만족도가 학교생활적응에 미치는 영향: 자아존중감의 매개효과

Multicultural adolescents in Korea compose of 2% of the entire student population, with their population additionally accounting for 46.6% of the population within multicultural families. However, 16.1% of multicultural adolescents choose to drop out of school and permanently leave the Korean educational system, indicating the presence of significant difficulties in their adjustments to their schools. Using the 6th year of data in the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS), a survey of 1,278 middle school students, this study examines the effects of acculturative stress and physical appearance satisfaction on students’ school life adjustment, while also testing the mediating effects in the relationships. Our results show that acculturative stress and physical appearance satisfaction have direct and indirect effects via self-esteem on school life adjustment. These results indicate that self-esteem may play an important role in reducing the negative effect of acculturative stress on school life adjustment, while also enhancing the positive effect of physical appearance satisfaction on school life adjustment. Based on these results, we present future intervention strategies for schools to implement in order to improve the quality of education for students of different cultural backgrounds.
