청소년이 지각한 부모의 과보호적 양육태도와 안녕감의 관계: 수줍음과 학교생활참여의 다중매개효과 = The Relationship Between Adolescents’ Perceptions of Parental Overprotection and Well-Being: Multiple Mediating Roles of Shyness and School Engagement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to examine the multiple mediating roles of shyness and school engagement in the relationship between adolescents’ perceptions of parental overprotection and their well-being. A total of 706 middle school students from five schools located in B Metropolitan City and G Province in South Korea participated in the study. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires measuring the key research variables, and structural equation modeling was used for analysis. The main findings were as follows. First, significant correlations were found among perceived parental overprotection, well-being, shyness, and school engagement. Second, shyness significantly and fully mediated the relationship between parental overprotection and well-being. Third, school engagement also demonstrated a significant full mediating effect in the same relationship. Fourth, shyness and school engagement jointly showed a significant sequential full mediating effect between parental overprotection and well-being. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the psychosocial mechanisms through which adolescents’ perceptions of overprotective parenting negatively influence their well-being. Specifically, the findings highlight shyness and school engagement as important sequential mediators in this process, suggesting that these factors may serve as effective intervention targets to support the well-being of adolescents who experience overprotective parenting. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are also discussed.
