청소년의 다문화수용성은 또래 다문화집단과의 직접교류행동에 영향을 미치는가? -다문화인권교육의 효과성을 중심으로-

This study was conducted to understand the effect of youth’s multicultural acceptance on interaction with their multicultural peer groups. For the purpose of the study, among the 2021 National Multicultural Acceptance Survey data, youth multicultural acceptance data for 5,000 adolescents were analyzed. The main results of the study are as follows. First, female adolescents generally had more multicultural acceptance than male adolescents, and middle school students had more multicultural acceptance than high school students. Also, rural residents’ rejection of Multiculturalism was higher than those in metro cities, and differences in family economy levels needed to be more consistent. Second, sub-variables of multicultural acceptance were found to affect the willingness to interact with multicultural groups of their peers. Still, they did not have a significant impact on actual interaction. Third, it was found that changes in multicultural consciousness through multicultural human rights education affect interaction with their multicultural peer groups. Based on these results, the direction of multicultural education for the youths and the limitations of this research were presented.
