중학생이 지각한 부모의 양육태도가 우울과 사회적 위축감을 매개로 비행피해에 미치는 영향

The present study investigated the mediating effects of depression and social withdrawal in the relationship between perceived parenting attitudes and adolescent victimization. The sample was taken from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS), and the data of 2,351 adolescents from the 7th to 9th grade were analyzed. Using path analysis, the authors examined how adolescent depression and social withdrawal in the period of the 8th grade mediated the relationship between perceived parenting attitudes in the 7th grade and victimization in the 9th grade. The results confirmed a dual mediating model. That is, perceived parenting attitudes in the 7th grade predict increases in depression in the 8th grade, which subsequently increases adolescent social withdrawal and ultimately contributes to the risk of victimization. More specifically, perceived parenting attitudes had no direct effect on victimization and both negative and positive parenting attitudes in the 7th grade made a significant difference to depression in the 9th grade, in contrast to social withdrawal. Additionally, social withdrawal in the 8th grade significantly impacted on victimization in the 9th grade, which was not seen in the case of depression. Lastly, depression predicted increases in social withdrawal. The implications of this research and suggestions for future study were also discussed.
