This study aims to examine whether delinquency moderates the dual mediating effects of self-esteem and Korean language proficiency on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitudes and school adjustment among late-entry Immigrant adolescents. Data were drawn from the "Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) 2nd Wave" conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute of Korea, and the analysis targeted 318 late-entry Immigrant adolescents. The data were analyzed using SPSS PC+ Ver. 25.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro Ver. 4.2. The statistical methods employed included frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis. The findings of the study are as follows: First, positive variables such as bicultural acceptance attitudes, self-esteem, Korean language proficiency, and school adjustment were found to have statistically significant positive correlations with one another. Second, delinquency was found to moderate the mediating effects of self-esteem and Korean language proficiency on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitudes and school adjustment. Specifically, delinquency among late-entry Immigrant adolescents weakened the positive effects of bicultural acceptance attitudes on school life adjustment through self-esteem and Korean language proficiency. Based on these results, the study discussed strategies for enhancing the school adjustment of late-entry immigrant adolescents through fostering bicultural acceptance attitudes, self-esteem, and Korean language proficiency, as well as preventing delinquency.
