ABSTRACT

This study examines the effects of friend support and teacher support, which play an important role in social relationships among adolescents, on the achievement motivation and school adaptation of multicultural adolescents, focusing on the mediating effect of social withdrawal. Adolescence is a time to expand social relationships and to materialize a sense of self and collective identity through various interactions with the environment. However, in the case of multicultural adolescents, it is reported that the rate of school dropout or school maladjustment is higher than that of non-multicultural students and the rate of victims of bullying or school violence is also reported to be higher. Therefore, this study examined the level of support of friends and teachers for multicultural adolescents by using the most recent 8th Multicultural Youth Panel data and identified the effect of such social support on school adaptation and achievement motivation of multicultural adolescents and the mediating effect of social withdrawal through a structural equation model. As a result of this study, the support of teachers and friends as sub-factors of social support directly affected the achievement motivation and school adaptation of multicultural adolescents. However, teacher support did not directly affect social withdrawal, and accordingly, the effect of teacher support on achievement motivation and school adaptation through the mediating effect of social withdrawal was not significant. However, friend support was found to have a direct effect on social withdrawal, and in the structural model of social support social withdrawal achievement motivation and school adaptation, friend support was found to affect achievement motivation and school adaptation through the mediating effect of social withdrawal. Based on the results of this study, implications for school adaptation of multicultural adolescents were presented.
