“…Racial/ethnic minority adolescents often face challenges in forming and maintaining a healthy sense of self in a society that views them as different, abnormal, or “deviant” [ 34 ] (p. 619) from the normal or ideal appearance. Korean society upholds fair-skin, large eyes, pointy nose, and slim figures as ideal and beautiful, and the minority adolescents who are visibly darker and less similar to the ideal image are often the targets of verbal harassment and unfair treatment [ 52 ]. As a cause of an accumulation of negative experiences with Korean peers, neighbors, and the public in general, the findings indicate that these minority adolescents are likely to be dissatisfied with their own body and physical characteristics.…”

The effect of perceived discrimination on adolescents’ developmental outcome has long been a topic of research, however, little is known about how it affects their depression especially among the racial/ethnic minority adolescents in Asian countries. In Korea, a country with a relatively short history of immigrant influx, discrimination has become an important social issue affecting a rapidly growing population. This study examines the impact of perceived discrimination on racial/ethnic minority adolescents in Korea, specifically focusing on its impact on depression through self-esteem and satisfaction with physical appearance. The Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study data were used for analyses, and the SPSS Process Macro program was used to test the parallel mediating effects of self-esteem and satisfaction with physical appearance. The findings show that perceived discrimination was a strong predictor of their depression. Self-esteem and satisfaction with physical appearance also had significant mediating effect. There were no distinct gender differences among paths though the male adolescents were found to have more discriminatory experiences than the female adolescents. The findings call for the development of healthy coping strategies for these adolescents to prevent the effect of perceived discrimination, not only for their mental health, but also with their self-perception including physical appearance.

“…Third, the relationship between self-esteem and satisfaction with physical appearance needs to be further investigated. Adolescents’ perception of their own body and physical characteristics may be in part influenced by their self-esteem and vice versa [ 52 ]. Future studies need to explore the reciprocal nature of the relationship.…”

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.
