중학생의 자살생각과 공격성 및 귀인성향과의 관계

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the recent serious social issue of teenage suicide. Also examined with this issue are the mental factors causing teenagers' suicides. Anger and aggression are identified and the locus of responsibility (What do teens think cause the incidents?) is identified as internal, therefore the considering of suicide is related to these two factors. Evidence also suggests that vice versa is true, these two factors can affect each other.
For this research, a questionaire which contains the questions about the impulse of killing themselves, aggression, and attribution are asked of 350 students who go to a co-ed school in the eastern part of Jeollanamdo province. Based on the questionaire, 48 answers were disqualified due to incomplete answers or answers without any consideration. The reponses of 302 students(161 boys, 141 girls)are analyzed. The results and recommendations are as follows.

Here are the results of the research and discussing points.
Firstly, 43.1% of the respondents indicated they have contemplated suicide therefore there needs to be education aimed at the prevention of suicide among this age group. It is clear from the high level of students who have thought about this that it is an important issue in their lives.
Secondly, the result shows that there is a meaningful difference between thinking about suicide and students school grades. It is significant to note that gender does not show a meaningful difference. The research clearly shows how well or how bad a student is performing in school directly correlates to a students' impulse towards suicide.
The research also shows, suicide and aggression toward oneself has a positive relationship, therefore the factor which can make students think of suicide could be aggression. Internalization of ones self image has less of a detrimental effect than any outside factors. In other words Internalizing ones problems, that is taking things to heart, seems to have less impact than the outside factors such as being picked on or bullied as examples of aggression. The factors that can affect and impulse toward suicide are outside aggression and hostility.
In the field of attribution, regulatiing or controling ones self image themselves is the most unstable part. That means the students who think of suicide a lot can not control themselves because their internal factors are uncontrollable. In other words, students lack coping skills.
The result of the study shows that there is a relationship between anger and aggression and the causes of teen suicide as a mental factor. Further understanding of teen suicide and prescriptive approaches to stress and managing aggression are needed preventing self harm is an urgent matter. Developing mental health programs for adapting are needed. In other words, preventing the suicide of students, helping them solve problems requires special education at school, home and the wider community.
A counseling program should be developed so students can realize how they can manage the important incidents in their lives by themselves. Furthermore specific education is urgently needed for the mental health of middle school students.
