Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of early adolescents' depression on suicidal ideation and the mediating effects of self-esteem and life satisfaction in the process. For this purpose, the path analysis model for depression, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation were used to examine the 225 early adolescent students of grades between 4 and 6 attending elementary school. The main results are as follows. First, the self-esteem of early adolescents was partially mediated between depression and suicidal ideation. Second, the satisfaction of life of early adolescents was partially mediated between depression and suicidal ideation. In other words, in order to lower the suicidal ideation of early adolescents, various programs are need to be developed to improve self-esteem and life satisfaction, as well as apply them to practice.

연구의 목적은 융 복합시대에서 초기청소년들의 우울감이 자살생각에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 있어 자아존중감 및 삶의 만족도의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 초등학교 4-6학년에 재학 중인 초기청소년 225명을 대상으로 우울감, 자아존중감, 삶의 만족도 및 자살생각에 대한 경로분석 모형을 검증하였다. 주요 분석 결과를 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초기청년들의 자아존중감은 우울감과 자살생각 간에 있어 부분매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 초기청년들의 삶의 만족도는 우울감과 자살생각 간에 있어 부분매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 초기청소년의 자살생각을 낮추기 위해 자아존중감과 삶의 만족도를 향상시키기 위한 다양한 프로그램을 개발하여 실천현장에 적용하길 바란다.
