Acculturative stress affects school-life adjustment in multicultural adolescents through social competence and self-esteem.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the serial multiple mediating effects of social competence and self-esteem on the effects of acculturative stress in multicultural adolescents on school-life adjustment. To this end, an analysis was conducted using the data of 2,246 multicultural adolescents who participated in the second year of the 'Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study' (2019). The analysis of the data revealed the following: First, the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents had a significant effect on their adjustment to school life. Second, the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents had a significant effect on their adjustment to school life through social competence. Third, the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents had a significant effect on school-life adjustment through self-esteem. Fourth, the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents was found to have a significant effect on school-life adjustment through the successive effects of social competence and self-esteem. Based on these results, countermeasures against acculturative stress, social competence, and self-esteem were discussed to support the multicultural adolescent's adjustment to school life, and practical and policy suggestions were made in this regard.
