Abstract

This study examined the mediating effects of the stress coping behavior and social competence of children from multicultural families to determine the influential relationships between their stress and school adjustment. The analysis results show that stress had overall negative effects on the school adjustment of children from multicultural families and also on their stress coping behavior and social competence. For the indirect effects, both their stress coping behavior and social competence had positive indirect effects on their school adjustment. Stress did not have significant direct effects on their school adjustment. These findings suggest that stress coping behavior and social competence have full mediating effects between their stress and school adjustment. These findings highlight the need for directions of school education and various program interventions to improve the stress coping and social adjustment competence of children from multicultural families, offering practical implications to enhance their school adjustment.

본 연구는 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스가 학교적응에 미치는 영향 관계를 알아보고자 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스가 학교적응에 미치는 전체효과는 부적영향, 스트레스가 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력에도 부적영향으로 나타났다. 간접효과를 확인한 결과 스트레스 대처행동이 학교적응에 정적영향을, 사회적 능력도 학교적응에 정적영향으로 확인하였다. 그러나 스트레스는 학교적응에 미치는 직접효과는 유의미하지 않은 것으로 확인되었는데, 학교적응에 미치는 영향에서 스트레스 대처행동과 사회적 능력이 완전매개하고 있음을 보여준다. 이를 통해 다문화가정 아동의 스트레스 대처 및 사회적응능력 향상을 위한 학교 교육 방향과 다양한 프로그램 개입의 밑바탕이 되어 학교적응력 향상을 위한 실천적인 함의를 가진다.
