This study aimed to examine whether social isolation moderates the dual mediating effects of self-esteem and Korean language proficiency on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitudes and school life 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 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 life adjustment were found to have statistically significant positive correlations with one another. In contrast, social isolation showed a significant negative correlation with self-esteem and school life adjustment, but no significant correlation with Korean language proficiency. Second, social isolation was found to moderate the mediating effects of self-esteem and Korean language proficiency on the relationship between bicultural acceptance attitudes and school life adjustment. Specifically, social isolation 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 life adjustment of late-entry Immigrant adolescents through fostering bicultural acceptance attitudes, self-esteem, and Korean language proficiency, as well as addressing social isolation.
