청소년의 긴장이 지위비행에 미치는 영향: 사회유대 요인의 조절효과를 중심으로

초록

The research results have explored the impact of general strain theory on adolescent delinquency in South Korea. While previous studies in the country generally support the static relationship between strain and delinquency, there has been a lack of research on the moderating effects of sociological factors, with most studies focusing on internal variables such as moral beliefs, self-esteem, self-control, and resilience. In response to this gap, the study aimed to examine the influence of strain experienced by students on adolescent delinquency and analyze the role of sociological characteristics(dedication, involvement) in moderating the relationship between strain and delinquency. The analysis utilized data from the "Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018" conducted by the Korea Institute of Child and Youth Policy, involving 2,438 adolescents. The results of the analysis are as follows: Firstly, parental strain, peer strain, and academic strain were found to have a significant static impact on adolescent delinquency. In other words, strains induced by negative stimuli, namely parental strain, peer strain, and academic strain, were positively associated with an increase in delinquent behavior, aligning with the assertions of general strain theory. Secondly, among the moderating variables, dedication exhibited a negative moderating effect on the impact of peer strain on delinquency, while involvement demonstrated a static moderating effect on the influence of parental strain and academic strain on delinquency. Based on these research findings, it can be suggested that addressing different types of strains experienced by students and tailoring interventions accordingly to the environment and situation may reduce the likelihood of adolescent delinquency, which is considered the precursor to adult criminal behaviors.
