본 연구는 심리적 안녕감, 정서표현성, 교우관계가 중학생의 성별에 따라 차이가 있는지와 함께 이들 변인들 간의 관계를 알아보고자 한 것이다. 본 연구의 대상은 경기도에 소재한 중학교에 다니고 있는 2학년 학생 391명으로, 수집된 자료를 t 검증과 Pearson의 상관분석 및 단계적 중다회귀분석을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 중학생의 심리적 안녕감과 정서표현성 및 교우관계에서 유의한 성차가 나타났는데 모든 변인에서 여학생이 남학생에 비해 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 심리적 안녕감과 정서표현성 및 교우관계는 서로 상관이 있었으며, 교우관계에 영향을 미치는 변인은 심리적 안녕감과 정서표현성의 하위 요인인 긍정적 정서표현과 부정적 정서표현이었다. 본 연구결과는 중학생의 교우관계를 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하는데 시사점을 제공한다.
