Abstract

This study investigated realistic conflict perception toward multicultural groups and perceived discrimination as predictors of life satisfaction of North Korean defectors in South Korea. For the purpose, 273 North Korean defectors completed the questionnaires including realistic conflict perception toward multicultural groups, perceived discrimination, life satisfaction. and background variables(sex, age, residence periods in South Korea). Results indicated, at first, that there was no significant differences of sex, age, residence periods in South Korea for realistic conflict perception toward multicultural groups, perceived discrimination, and life satisfaction. Second, the higher the realistic conflict perception toward multicultural groups, the more perceived discrimination, but the lower the life satisfaction. Third, analysis further revealed that the perceived discrimination mediated the relationship between realistic conflict perception and life satisfaction. Based on the results, the future study topics relating to this area were suggested.
