다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the school- violence victimization experience of adolescents in their early teens on their suicide behavior and the moderating effects of protective factors known as having moderating effects on the relationship of the two variables. The subjects in this study were 517 elementary school students who were in their fifth and sixth grades in the region of Daegu. The findings of the study were as follows: First, school-violence victimization experience was found to have a positive impact on suicide behavior of the early adolescents. As protective factors, self-esteem, family harmony and friendship skills were identified as the significant influential protective factors. Second, self-esteem was found to be the only factor to have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between the school-violence victimization experience and suicide behavior of the early adolescents. The findings of the study suggest that in order to ensure the successful prevention of suicide among adolescents in their early teens, proper education and intervention services should be provided for them in consideration of their unique characteristics.
