생물학적 연령과 주관적 연령이 청소년들의 문제행동에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of Adolescents’ Biological and Subjective age on their Problem Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the effects of adolescent biological and subjective age on their problem behavior with middle and high school students. Statistical analysis revealed male and female high school students had the highest biological age, and male middle school students had the lowest one. Also the biological age was only related with the problem behavior of male adolescents and male adolescents with high biological age engaged in higher levels of antisocial behavior and violent behavior than their lower ones. But adolescents with high subjective age engaged in higher levels of antisocial behavior, imitation of adult behavior and violent behavior regardless of sex and age. Moreover middle and high school male students and high school female students with high biological and subjective age were likely to engage in problem behavior than their cournterparts with low biological and subjective age.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구는 중ㆍ고등학교 2학년 남녀 청소년들(586명)을 대상으로 생물학적 연령과 주관적 연령이 문제행동에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 연구하였다. 이를 위해 생물학적 연령척도와 주관적 연령척도 및 문제행동 척도가 사용되었고 변량분석, 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 검증되었다. 연구결과 남녀 고등학생들이 생물학적 연령을 가장 높게 지각하였고 그 다음이 여자 중학생, 그리고 남자 중학생의 순이었으나 주관적 연령에서는 고등학생들이 중학생들보다 더 높게 지각하는 차이만을 나타내었다. 또한 높은 생물학적 연령은 단지 남자 청소년들의 문제행동과 관련된 변인으로 생물학적 연령이 높은 남자 청소년들이 낮은 동년배들보다 반사회적 행동과 폭력행동을 더 많이 하였으나 주관적 연령에서는 성별이나 학년과 상관없이 높은 주관적 연령을 지니고 있는 청소년들이 낮은 동년배들보다 반사회적 행동과 성인행동 모방 및 폭력행동을 더 많이 하였다. 이와 함께 여자 중학생들을 제외하고 남자 중ㆍ고등학생과 여자 고등학생들 사이에서 두 가지 연령이 모두 높을 때 청소년들이 문제행동을 저지를 가능성이 가장 커, 두 가지 연령은 문제행동에 독립적으로 영향을 주기도 하지만 서로 상호작용하여 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
