Abstract

Objective: This study is to explore identifiable psychological differences and predictors for the subgroup of refugees who at a very early age moved from a totalitarian country to a westernized democracy, ultimately to improve policies and reduce the maladaptation of refugees to a new society. More specifically, it is to fill in significant gaps in understanding and predicting refugee tendencies toward depression, social withdrawal, aggression, and posttraumatic growth.

Method: Latent class analysis was conducted to identify subgroups based on symptom profiles within a sample of 201 North Korean adolescent refugees residing in South Korea.

Results: Four subgroups were identified: (a) High growth, (b) Low trauma with high adaptive aggression, (c) Low trauma with high social withdrawal/depression, and (d) High trauma with high comorbidity. Predictors were physical health, self-esteem, peer support, teacher support, and school adjustment.

Conclusion: Current refugee policies in South Korea would benefit from refining services to allow customization to the specific needs and characteristics of each adolescent rather than continue the current model of homogeneity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

创伤后成长和精神病理症状是北朝鲜青少年难民融入社会的预测因素：Latent profile analysis.

研究目的本研究旨在探索幼年时从极权国家移居到西方民主国家的难民亚群的可识别心理差异和预测因素，最终改善政策，减少难民对新社会的不适应。更具体地说，它是为了填补在理解和预测难民抑郁、社会退缩、攻击性和创伤后成长倾向方面的重大空白：方法：对居住在韩国的201名北朝鲜青少年难民样本进行潜类分析，根据症状特征确定亚组：结果：确定了四个亚组：(a) 高成长；(b) 低创伤伴高适应性攻击；(c) 低创伤伴高社交退缩/抑郁；(d) 高创伤伴高合并症。预测因素包括身体健康、自尊、同伴支持、教师支持和学校适应：结论：南韩目前的难民政策将受益于改进服务，以满足每个青少年的具体需求和特点，而不是继续目前的同质化模式。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved）。
