This study aims to empirically analyze how bicultural acceptance attitudes among multicultural adolescents affect their school life adjustment through friend support, depending on the level of acculturative stress, in order to explore more effective intervention strategies to support their school adjustment. The sample consisted of 318 foreign-born adolescents extracted from the "Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey (MAPS) 2nd wave" conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute of Korea. Data were analyzed using SPSS Ver. 25.0 and the SPSS PROCESS macro Ver. 4.2. The statistical techniques employed included frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis. The results showed, first, that bicultural acceptance attitude, friend support, and school life adjustment were positively and significantly correlated, while acculturative stress showed significant negative correlations with the other variables. Second, acculturative stress moderated the mediating effect of friend support in the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitude and school life adjustment. Specifically, acculturative stress weakened the indirect path from bicultural acceptance attitude to school life adjustment through friend support. Based on these findings, implications for multicultural youth support policies are discussed.
