To ensure that adolescents continue to lead healthy, well-adjusted lives—“sustainable lives”—after the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to examine the latter’s impact on various aspects of their lives compared to the socio-cultural context before the outbreak. This study used national representative data on Korean adolescents to analyze the impact of the pandemic on adolescent life from various perspectives, with a focus on gender differences. Our findings confirm that during the pandemic physical activity and sitting time for study purposes decreased, while sleeping and sitting for purposes other than studying increased, with more pronounced changes among girls. Drinking and smoking decreased and boys experienced greater decreases. The findings also indicated that the pandemic generated positive outcomes for mental health: stress, sadness/despair, and suicidal ideation decreased, which was counterintuitive to our general expectations, with a greater impact seen among girls.

This study is an examination of determinants of psychological adaptation among marriage migrant women in South Korea within three main theories: stress and coping, culture learning, and social cognition. Generalized ordinary logistic regression is applied to the 2015 National Multicultural Family Survey. The results reveal that loneliness and family conflicts have negative effects on psychological adaptation while social supports result in positive effects. Participation in gatherings with Koreans and Korean language proficiency work positively for psychological adaptation, while residence period and cultural differences have negative effects. Discrimination is also negatively associated with psychological adaptation.

This study examines the depressive symptom trajectories in middle-school adolescents from multicultural families in South Korea and explores their predictors from the ecological systems perspective. Using the latent growth model, we analysed a sample from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey (2014–2016). Our findings revealed that depressive symptoms increased persistently with age. Girls presented a systematically higher risk of depressive symptoms than boys. Family support, two-parent families, parental monitoring, learning, friendships, positive perceptions about the residential area, and good health reduced depressive symptoms. Parental neglect, bullying, parental involvement in children’s grade, and acculturative stress increased depressive symptoms.
