다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to examine the moderating effects of parental support and gender on the relationship between self-esteem and bicultural acceptance attitudes among multicultural adolescents. For this purpose, data from the second cohort of the Multicultural Youth Panel by the National Youth Policy Institute of Korea were used. A moderated regression analysis was performed using the Process Macro Model 1 and 3 by Hayes (2018) to examine the moderating effects of parental support and gender on the relationship between self-esteem and bicultural acceptance attitudes among multicultural adolescents. The main findings are as follows. First, multicultural adolescents’ self-esteem was found to have a positive effect on bicultural acceptance attitudes. Second, in cases where multicultural adolescents received high levels of parental support, the influence of self-esteem on bicultural acceptance attitudes was greater than in cases with low levels of parental support. Third, the interaction effect between self-esteem and parental support on bicultural acceptance attitude was greater for female multicultural adolescents than for their male counterparts. Based on these findings, this study discussed specific practical and policy implications to enhance bicultural acceptance attitudes by improving self-esteem among multicultural adolescents.
