Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effect of self-esteem on the convergent relationship between respect for human rights and school adjustment of adolescents. Data came from the Korean Survey on the rights of Children and Youth in 2016 and a total of 2,366 of the 2nd grade students in middle school were employed. Structural equation modeling approach was utilized to test the goodness of research model fit and especially the mediating effect was tested by bootstrapping method. Results showed that goodness of model fit was acceptable and self-esteem mediated the convergent relationship between respect for human rights and school adjustment of adolescents. This indicates that the more experiences in respect for human rights and the higher their self-esteem students have, the better school adjustment they acquire. The results of the study imply that it is necessary to expand the human rights education for teachers and develop a new educational program that links between respect for human rights and self-esteem.

본 논문은 청소년의 인권존중과 학교적응의 융합적 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개효과를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 분석자료는 2016년 한국아동 청소년인권실태조사의 중학교 2학년 2,366명의 자료를 활용하였다. 구조방정식모형을 적용하여 모형 적합도를 검증하고, 부트스트랩을 적용하여 매개효과를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 연구모형의 적합도가 적합하였으며, 청소년의 인권존중과 학교적응의 융합적 관계를 자아존중감이 유의미하게 매개하였다. 즉, 청소년들이 인권존중 경험이 많을수록 자아존중감이 높고, 자아존중감이 높을수록 학교적응을 잘하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 청소년의 학교적응도를 높이기 위해 교사에 대한 인권교육 강화, 인권존중과 자아존중감을 접목한 교육프로그램 개발 및 운영이 필요함을 시사한다.
