“…These results are consistent with previous research among Chinese American adolescents which reported that proficiency in English was related to better academic outcomes, and that bilingual ability confers some benefits for adolescent adjustment (Liu et al, 2009). Consistent with our findings, Choe and Han (2021) also confirmed that proficiency in Korean, as well as in the heritage language, was associated with positive school adjustment.…”

“…In the case of Korean multicultural adolescents, host language difficulties may increase social marginalization and discrimination in academic opportunities, and result in behavioral problems. Prior research has also confirmed an association between heritage language proficiency and lower levels of delinquency for adolescents with multicultural backgrounds in Korea (Choe & Han, 2021). For these youth, heritage language ability may be crucial for reducing maladaptive behavior as it facilitates parental monitoring and maintains family relationships, particularly when the parent has limited proficiency in the host language.…”

This study identified changes in Korean and heritage language proficiencies across five waves (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) and examined the association between linguistic acculturation trajectories and adjustment (2016) among Korean adolescents with immigrant family backgrounds (N = 1441; 51.21% female; M age(baseline) = 9.97). All adolescents were from multiethnic families with 91.65% comprising a non-Korean Asian mother (e.g., Japan, Philippines, China, Thailand) and Korean father. Parallel process latent class growth modeling and multivariate regression analysis were conducted to estimate the trajectories of linguistic acculturation and their effects on adolescents' future adjustment. Linguistic acculturation trajectories were classified into three latent groups. Bilingual adolescents demonstrated better adjustment over adolescents in other trajectories. Findings highlight the importance of considering patterns of change in linguistic acculturation for understanding Korean multicultural adolescents' adjustment.

Objectives: This study sought to verify bidirectionality by examining a bidirectional relationship of school life adaptation and life satisfaction with self-esteem as a mediating variable over time.Methods: Based on data from 2,245 elementary school students extracted from Year 1 (2019), Year 2 (2020), and Year 3 (2021) of the Multicultural Youth Panel Survey (MAPS 2nd), this adopted structural equation modeling method using the autoregressive cross-lagged modeling.Results: The study derived the following results. First, adaptation to school life at a previous point affected self-esteem at a later point, self-esteem at a previous point affected life satisfaction at a later point. In other words, school life adaptation in 4th grade had a positive effect on life satisfaction in 6th grade through selfesteem at 5th grade. Second, life satisfaction at a previous point affected self-esteem at a later point. Selfesteem at an earlier point had an effect on school life adaptation at a later point. That is, life satisfaction in 4th grade had a positive effect on school life adaptation in 6th grade through self-esteem at 5th grade.Conclusion: This study found a bidirectional relationship of school life adaptation and life satisfaction with self-esteem as a mediating variable over time.

This study aimed to determine whether the achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families in their third year of middle school influenced their adaptation to school learning activities. It also explored the mediating effect of career attitude on achievement motivation and adaptation to school learning activities. An analysis was performed on data obtained from students in the third grade of middle school who participated in the sixth wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS). The main findings were as follows. Firstly, achievement motivation exhibited a positive correlation with both career attitude and adaptation to school learning activities. Secondly, the achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families and their career attitude both exerted a positive effect on their adaptation to school learning activities. Thirdly, the mediating effect of career attitude on the relationship between adaptation to school learning activities and achievement motivation of adolescents from multicultural families was verified.
