ABSTRACT Using the National Survey of Multicultural Families 2015, we examine the mediation effect of self-esteem and the effects of discrimination from different sources on young people’s depression, and we account for the importance of geographic area. The results indicate that peer discrimination has an adverse effect on depression among multi-ethnic children and adolescents in both urban and rural areas. Further, discrimination from neighbours affects self-esteem and depression among those in rural areas, and discrimination by strangers is strongly associated with depression among urban-residing children and adolescents. Based on such findings, implications for social work practice are provided.

歧视谁？: 揭示歧视经历对韩国多民族儿童和青少年抑郁症的影响

摘要 利用 2015 年全国多元文化家庭调查，我们检验了自尊的中介作用和不同来源的歧视对年轻人抑郁的影响，并说明了地理区域的重要性。结果表明，无论是在城市还是农村地区，同伴歧视对多民族儿童和青少年的抑郁都有不利影响。此外，邻居的歧视会影响农村地区的自尊和抑郁，而陌生人的歧视与城市儿童和青少年的抑郁密切相关。基于这些发现，提供了对社会工作实践的影响。
