THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE ON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' SELF-IDENTITY - THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF SOCIAL SUPPORT

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of social support on high school students' violence exposure experience and self-identity, and to suggest a social welfare practice plan to solve this problem. Although there have been interesting studies that focused on adolescents' self-identity in previous studies, the insufficient parts of these studies were confirmed, and this study was supplemented and set as a model of this study. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on high school students attending 8 high schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and 823 out of 860 questionnaires distributed were finally analyzed.

Key words: violence exposure experience, marital violence, child violence, school violence, social support, self-identity
