폭력피해경험이 청소년 지위비행에 미치는 영향 : 불안의 매개효과를 중심으로 = Impact of violence victim experience on youth status delinquency : focus on mediating effect of anxiety

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Korean society, juvenile delinquency is considered as a serious social issue beyond individual deviation. However, since status delinquency a type of juvenile delinquency doesn't cause serious damages compared to other types of delinquency, its danger has been underestimated.
If a teenager commits status delinquency such as drinking, smoking, running away from home, skipping school, and accessing pornography continuously, he or she is likely to engage in another type of delinquency or crime. Therefore, early intervention is crucial. Thus, this study was carried out under the belief that identifying the causes of status delinquency is essential for early intervention.
Although there are various causes of youth status delinquency, this study has focused on direct and indirect violence damages, which many teenagers fall victim to. This study was carried out on the premise that such experience during an adolescence leads to greater anxiety due to fears of violence and youth status delinquency as a result. Even if such anxiety persists due to violence victim experience and tension, not all teenagers commit status delinquency. Therefore, this study has selected 'social support' as a factor that can protect victimized teenagers and prevent them from committing delinquency. This study has also confirmed the moderating effect of social support. Such hypothesis is a theoretical verification based on the general strain theory of Agnew(1992). To verify the hypothesis, this study was carried out as follows.
A violence victim survey was conducted on teenagers ranging from 7th(middle school's 1st year students) to 12 graders(high school seniors). To reduce possible measurement errors, the nation was divided into 6 regions taking into account regional and cultural characteristics. The survey was conducted with a proportional allocation method that combines the ratio of gender and age. Self-administered questionnaires were used in the survey based on email via online panel website selected by the researcher.
The research findings and policy suggestions are as follows.
First, direct and indirect violence damages maximized youth status delinquency. In particular, indirect violence damages had a greater impact on status delinquency than direct violence damages. Therefore, prevention measures and follow-up management as to violence damages should target teenagers indirectly exposed to violence, as well as the offenders and victims.
Second, whether the violence damages are direct or indirect, it leads to greater anxiety of teenagers and status delinquency as a result. Since anxiety had a full mediating effect in the process, solving the anxiety of youths inflicted with the damages could prevent status delinquency. Based on the results, it is essential to conduct an early diagnosis of anxiety and professional intervention for teenagers at high risk.
Third, to identify whether the anxiety caused by direct and indirect violence experience has a mediating effect on youth status delinquency with social support factors, the moderating effect was verified. In this study, only the moderating effect on familial support was verified, among all social support factors. It was revealed that family plays the most important role in helping teenagers inflicted with violence damages. Therefore, parents should talk to their children on an ongoing basis and care about their lives to the point where they can notice even the slightest issue.
The significance of this study is as follows: It has identified the fact that violence damages, one of tension factors of teenagers, have a direct impact on youth status delinquency, based on general strain theory. Also, this study has identified the path where the violence damages have an indirect impact with anxiety as a medium.
However, this study has the following limitations. First, it only selected students who have experienced violence at least once for the past year. As a result, the sample size is relatively small and results have low explanatory power. Second, there was only an experimental group with no control group. Third, as a cross-sectional study, it had memory recall errors and uncertain time context of variables. As a result, it was problematic to establish a causal relationship between violence victim experience of teenagers and youth status delinquency, anxiety, and social support.
However, this study is meaningful as it considered detailed tension situations supported by general strain theory, which has verified the relevance between tension and crimes through numerous experiential studies. Also, this study has explored the mediating effect of anxiety, a negative emotion.
To solve the limitations of this study, follow-up studies need to consider various conditioning factors such as the following presented by general tension theory to conduct a theory-based verification: social ties; interaction with delinquent friends; self-control.
