Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among multicultural experience, multicultural acceptance, cultural empathy, and empathy in adolescents. Moreover, the study attempted to reveal that how multicultural experience had an effect on empathy and whether multicultural acceptance and cultural empathy had an indirect effect. Based on previous researches, a study model was established. Data were collected and analyzed from 266 adolescents. The results were as follows. There was positive correlation between main variables and adolescents' multicultural experience had an effect on empathy via the path of mediating multicultural acceptance and cultural empathy. Therefore, it was suggested to develop programs which improve multicultural acceptance and cultural empathy. However, they should be offered differentially and implemented sustainedly in stages.

본 연구에서는 청소년의 다문화경험, 다문화수용성, 문화적 공감과 공감능력의 관계를 살펴보고, 다문화경험이 어떤 경로를 통해 공감능력에 영향을 미치는지 밝힘과 동시에 다문화수용성 및 문화적공감이 간접효과를 가지는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 선행연구를 바탕으로 연구모형을 설정하고, 청소년 266명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하고 분석하였다. 연구결과, 주요 변수들 간에는 서로 정적 상관관계를 가지고 있었으며, 청소년의 다문화경험은 다문화수용성과 문화적 공감을 매개하는 경로를 통하여 공감능력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 문화수용성 및 문화적 공감을 향상할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하고, 그 제공방식에 있어서도 차별성을 두고, 지속적이고 단계적으로 실시될 필요가 있음을 제언하였다.
