ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the peer attachment of adolescents would affect their multicultural acceptance through the medium of aggression, and whether their ego-resilience would produce any protective effects to act as a buffer of the influential relationship. The 7th-year data of Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) for the panel of fourth-grade elementary school students who were in the first-grade in high school as of 2016 were utilized. Out of all the data from 2,378 students, the data from 1,979 students were analyzed except some that didn't serve the purpose of the study or were uncompleted. The findings of the study were as follows: First, it's ascertained that the peer attachment of the teenagers exerted a direct influence on multicultural acceptance. In other words, the adolescents who were more attached to their peers were found to be more receptive to multiculture. Second, the peer attachment of adolescents was found to have had an impact on multicultural acceptance through the partial medium of aggression. Third, it's discovered that the ego-resilience of the teenagers buffered the relationship between aggression and multicultural acceptance and even moderated the partial mediating effect that peer attachment had on multicultural acceptance through aggression at the same time. As the findings of the study confirmed that ego-resilience produce buffering effects as a protective factor, the roles of it is of great importance, and various programs and psychoemotional support are necessary to bolster the ego-resilience of teenagers to improve their multicultural receptivity.
