청소년 학교중퇴의도 영향요인 : 계획된 행동이론의 적용

초록

This study aims to provide theoretical grounds for the prevention and intervention for adolescents in danger of dropping out of school by understanding the factors affecting their intentions regarding dropping out based on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The study examined the influence of three variables, attitude towards dropout behavior, perceived subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls, on the intention of dropping out of school among adolescents. In addition, the study examined whether the effect of these three TPB variables hold true after controlling for factors known to influence decisions to dropout (parents and family factors, peer factors, school circumstances). The study sample included students from middle, high, and alternative schools located in Seoul. A total of 237 students were included in the study. The results of the study are as follows. Firstly, the effect of attitudes toward dropout behavior, perceived subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on the intentions regarding dropping out of school among adolescents were found to be significant. Secondly, our findings suggested that a theoretical model of TPB can be applied to adolescents' intentions regarding dropping out of school.
