Abstract

Many adolescents in high schools are experiencing school maladjustment by academic stress under the reality of higher-education-oriented schooling. A review of studies of academic stress and school adjustment reveals that ego-optimism is predicted as one of the moderating variables to help adolescents lessen academic stress and increase their school adjustment. The main purpose of this study was to verify the moderating effects of ego-resilience on the relationship between academic stress and school adjustment of adolescents. For this, 496 high school students of tenth and eleventh grade were respectively collected through cluster sampling to be surveyed, and then correlation analysis and moderated regression analysis were conducted. The major findings were as follows. First, there was a negative relationship between academic stress and school adjustment and between academic stress and ego-resilience, but a positive relationship between school adjustment and ego-resilience. Second, the moderating effects of ego-resilience on the relationship between academic stress and school adjustment were not found, although optimism, one of ego-resilience's sub-factors, had a significant moderating effect on them, implying that adolescents' optimism should be enhanced to lessen academic stress and ensure they have a successful school life. The study concludes that optimism is a protective factor for school adjustment caused academic stress and thus schools need to make active efforts to enhance their students' optimism.

대입지향의 학교교육의 현실에서 적지 않은 청소년들이 학업스트레스에 따른 학교생활부적응을 경험하고 있다. 학업스트레스와 학교생활적응과 관련한 연구들을 고찰한 결과, 자아탄력성은 학업스트레스를 완화하면서 학교생활적응을 도울 수 있는 조절변인임을 예측할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 청소년의 학업스트레스와 학교생활적응과의 관계에서 자아탄력성의 조절효과를 검증하는 것에 주목적을 두고, 제주지역 고등학교 1, 2학년을 대상으로 군집표집을 통해 496명을 추출하고, 변인 간 상관분석과 조절회귀분석을 하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 학업스트레스와 학교생활적응 간 그리고 학업스트레스와 자아탄력성 간에는 부적 상관이 있는 반면, 학교생활적응과 자아탄력성 간에는 정적 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 학업스트레스와 학교생활적응과의 관계에서 자아탄력성 변인 전체의 조절효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았지만, 자아탄력성 하위요인의 하나인 낙관성에서 조절효과가 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 많은 청소년들이 경험하는 학업스트레스를 조절하여 학교생활적응력을 높이기 위해서는 그들의 낙관성 수준을 높일 필요성이 있음을 시사한다. 결론적으로, 낙관성은 학업스트레스에 따른 학교생활부적응에 대한 하나의 보호요인이기 때문에 학교에서는 학생들의 낙관성을 보다 강화시키기 노력을 적극적으로 모색할 필요가 있음을 논의하였다.
