This study was to examine the role for intention of school dropout of multicultural adolescents in terms of parenting attitude, bicultural acceptance and self-esteem. For this purpose, the data of adolescents who participated in the 8th year survey of the ‘Multicultural Adolescent Panel Study’ established by the National Youth Policy Institute was analyzed for descriptive statistics, correlation, and serial multiple mediation analysis using SPSS 21.0 and PROCESS macro 4.1. First, it was found that parenting attitude had a significant effect on intention of school dropout. Second, it was found that self-esteem mediated the relationship between parenting attitude and intention of school dropout. Third, in the effect of parenting attitude on multicultural adolescents’ intention of school dropout, it was found that bicultural acceptance and self-esteem mediate it in series. On the basis of above findings, the practical implications to prevent the intention of school dropout were suggested.
