청소년의 그릿, 자아존중감, 사회적 자본이 우울에 미치는 영향

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of grit, self-esteem, and social capital on depressive symptoms among adolescents. This study is a descriptive study using the six wave of the middle school first grade cohort of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine factors influencing adolescents’ depressive symptoms. A total of 2,224 participants were included, consisting of 1,187 boys and 1,037 girls. The mean level of depressive symptoms was 1.77 out of 4 points. There were significant differences in depressive symptoms according to urbanization level(F=4.59, p=.010) and subjective health status(F=31.37, p<.001). Factors significantly associated with depressive symptoms were self-esteem(β=-.40, p<.001), parenting attitude(β=-.17, p<.001), grit(β=-.16, p<.001), teacher relationship(β=.06, p<.001), and peer relationship(β=-.05, p<.001). The effective interventions to prevent and reduce adolescent depressive symptoms should focus on enhancing self-esteem and grit, promoting positive parenting attitudes, and supporting healthy peer relationships. Further research is needed to confirm the relationships between depressive symptoms and teacher relationships among adolescents.
