This study aimed to identify latent profiles based on familial ethnic socialization, peer discrimination, and school multicultural climate among biethnic adolescents in South Korea and to examine how the emerged profiles were related to their life satisfaction.We also examined how biethnic affirmation interacted with the profiles in predicting life satisfaction.
Questionnaire data from the first wave of the Panel Survey of Korean Multicultural Youth Adjustment was used. The sample consisted of 358 biethnic adolescents in 5th and 6th grade in South Korea. The meanage was 11.41 years old. Approximately 60% of the participants were in 5th grade and 51.68% were girls.
The results of LPA showed that familial ethnic socialization, peer discrimination, and school multicultural climate formed two distinct profiles in the current sample. These profiles were characterized as contexts of high and low biethnic acceptance. Biethnic adolescents in the context of high biethnic acceptance were significantly more satisfied with their lives than those in the context of low biethnic acceptance.Further, the positive association between biethnic iaffirmation and life satisfaction was more pronounced among adolescents in the context of low biethnic acceptance.
Findings suggest the importance of promoting biethnic acceptance across family, peer, and school settings for adolescents' biethnic affirmation and life satisfaction.
本研究旨在基于韩国双种族青少年的家庭种族社会化、同伴歧视和学校多元文化氛围，确定潜在的特征群，并探讨所出现的特征群如何与其生活满意度相关。我们还研究了双种族肯定如何与特征群相互作用，以预测生活满意度。
本研究使用了韩国多元文化青年适应情况面板调查的第一波问卷调查数据。该样本由韩国 5 至 6 年级的 358 名双种族青少年组成。平均年龄为 11.41 岁。大约 60%的参与者处于 5 年级，51.68%为女生。
LPA 的结果表明，家庭种族社会化、同伴歧视和学校多元文化氛围在当前样本中形成了两个截然不同的特征群。这些特征群的特点是双种族接受程度高或低。在双种族接受程度高的背景下，双种族青少年的生活满意度显著高于双种族接受程度低的背景下的青少年。此外，在双种族接受程度低的背景下，双种族肯定与生活满意度之间的正相关更为明显。
研究结果表明，在家庭、同伴和学校环境中促进双种族接受对于青少年的双种族肯定和生活满意度至关重要。
