부모의 거부적 양육태도와 삶의 만족도 간 관계에서 청소년 자아존중감의 매개효과

초록

This study examined the mediating effect of adolescents' self-esteem on the relationship between parental rejection and life satisfaction. A total of 2,438 complete responses from students who participated in both the first and second years of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) 2018 second-wave survey were analyzed. SPSS 23.0 and PROCESS Macro 4.2 were used for data analysis. The results showed that parental rejection was negatively associated with adolescents' self-esteem, while self-esteem was positively associated with life satisfaction. Although the direct effect of parental rejection on life satisfaction was not significant, the indirect effect mediated by adolescents' self-esteem was statistically significant. This indicates that parental rejection lowers life satisfaction by diminishing adolescents' self-esteem. The study is significant as it highlights the negative aspects of parent-child relationships and the role of self-esteem. Considering the developmental characteristics of early adolescence, the findings further suggest the need for parent education and school-based counseling programs to enhance self-esteem. Such interventions may improve psychological well-being and promote positive developmental experiences. Moreover, the results provide valuable evidence for designing policies and practical strategies to support development of adolescents.
