초기 청소년의 주의집중 문제와 청소년 문제행동의 관계: 집행기능 곤란과 사회적 지지의 순차적 매개효과

초록

This study examined both the mediating effects of executive function difficulties and social support, as well as the sequential mediating effects of these factors, on the relationship between attention problems and adolescent problem behaviors. Data were collected from 239 fifth- and sixth-grade students residing in Seoul, South Korea. The key findings of the study are as follows: First, attention problems, executive function difficulties, social support, and adolescent problem behaviors were all significantly correlated. Second, executive function difficulties fully mediated the relationship between attention problems and adolescent problem behaviors, as the direct effect was not significant. Third, social support also played a mediating role, partially explaining the link between attention problems and adolescent problem behaviors. Lastly, the study confirmed a sequential mediation effect, where attention problems influenced adolescent problem behaviors through both executive function difficulties and social support.
