Co-Occurrence of Problem Behaviors in South Korean Adolescents: Findings from Korea Youth Panel Survey

Determinants of tobacco use among Korean female adolescents: Longitudinal test of the theory of triadic influence

“…In this study, the HR of peer smoking prevalence was the highest among the determinants in the model. This result is consistent with previous research findings showing peer influence to be an important risk factor for tobacco use among adolescents in South Korea (Hong, Lee, Grogan-Kaylor, & Huang, 2011;Rhee, Yun, & Khang, 2007). This finding is reinforced by traditional interpersonal relationships based on Confucian values, which stress the importance of group awareness (Schwartz, Farver, Chang, & Lee-Shin, 2002).…”

Body-Image Dissatisfaction as a Predictor of Suicidal Ideation Among Korean Boys and Girls in Different Stages of Adolescence: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study

Table 2 presents the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for the effect of Time 1 body dissatisfaction along with the relevant risk factors at Time 1 on Time 2 suicidal ideation in early-and midadolescent boys and girls.…”

“…Categorizations of other covariates at Time 1, such as parental educational attainment ( middle school, high school, and college, defined as the highest level attained by either parent [7,11,20,27]), household income (quartiles [7,28]: low, low-middle, upper middle, and upper), emotional support from parents (continuous; calculated by six items, with higher scores indicating lower support [27]), open conversation with peers (good and bad [7]), being ridiculed or bullied by peers (yes and no [7,28]), and obsession with academic achievement (yes and no [29]) were included in the analysis because of their higher correlations with Time 2 suicidal ideation.…”

“…For parents, a telephone survey was conducted to obtain other information related to participants' family and parents (e.g., family monthly income, living status with parents). Finally, confidentiality was assured by NYPI (K. S. Lee & Baek, 2007;Rhee, Yun, & Khang, 2007).…”
