다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives This study was conducted to determine whether there are differences in delinquent behavior, cultural adaptation stress, bicultural acceptance attitude, and self-esteem according to the socio-demographic characteristics of multicultural youth in the second year of middle school, and to determine what kind of relationship there is between the delinquent behavior of multicultural youth and cultural adaptation stress, bicultural acceptance attitude, and self-esteem, and to suggest practicalimplications based onthe results.
Methods To this end, we utilized the fifth wave of data corresponding to second-year middle school students from the second wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) collected by the Korea Youth Policy Institute. The collected data were analyzed for differences according to demographic characteristics and hierarchical regression analysis to verify the research questions of this study.
Results The main analysis results according to the research question are as follows. First, in terms of gender, statistically significant differences were found in male students' delinquent behavior and self-esteem, and in terms of female students' attitude toward bicultural acceptance. In terms of regional scale, only cultural adaptation stress and self-esteem showed statistically significant differences between regions, and whether the parents were foreigners did not show statistically significant differences in any variables. Second, in verifying the influence of related variables on the delinquent behavior of multicultural youth, only the demographic characteristics of gender and self-esteem were found to have a negative effect on the delinquent behavior of multicultural youth.
Conclusions Based on the results of this study, implications were suggested for the differences in delinquent behavior, cultural adaptation stress, bicultural acceptance attitude, and self-esteem according to the socio-demographic characteristics of multicultural youth in the second year of middle school, and the relationship between delinquent behavior, cultural adaptation stress, bicultural acceptance attitude, and self-esteem of multicultural youth.
