청소년의 학업스트레스, 우울, 폭력가해의 관계 연구 = A Study On The Relationship among Academic Stress, Depression, and Violent Perpetration among Adolescents

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the relationship between academic stress and violent perpetration among adolescents, with particular attention to the mediating role of depression. Academic stress is regarded as one of the most significant psychological stressors experienced during adolescence, a developmental period characterized by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes. Guided by General Strain Theory, this study examines whether academic stress contributes directly to violent perpetration or indirectly through depression.
The study utilized data from the 16th wave of the Panel Study of Korean Children （PSKC）. Academic stress was specified as the independent variable, violent perpetration as the dependent variable, and depression as the mediating variable. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS and included descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and mediation analysis based on the procedure proposed by Baron and Kenny （1986）.
The findings indicate that academic stress does not have a statistically significant direct effect on violent perpetration. However, academic stress significantly increases adolescents' levels of depression, and depression, in turn, has a significant positive effect on violent perpetration. The mediation analysis further confirms that depression significantly mediates the relationship between academic stress and violent perpetration. These results suggest that academic stress is more likely to influence violent perpetration indirectly by increasing depressive symptoms rather than through a direct pathway.
Overall, the findings demonstrate that adolescents' violent perpetration is more strongly associated with psychological processes than with academic stress alone. Depression functions as a key mechanism linking academic stress to violent behavior, highlighting the importance of addressing adolescents' emotional well-being when developing violence prevention strategies. Accordingly, efforts to reduce adolescent violent perpetration should extend beyond alleviating academic pressure and include early identification of depression and comprehensive mental health interventions involving schools, families, and local communities.
This study provides empirical support for the applicability of General Strain Theory in explaining adolescent violent perpetration and contributes to the literature by identifying depression as a significant mediating mechanism between academic stress and violent perpetration. The findings also offer practical implications for establishing integrated prevention and intervention strategies that simultaneously address academic stress and adolescent mental health.
