다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of variables such as socio-home environment, social support, and stress in Adolescent. This study was conducted by administering a questionnaire to 530 Adolescents living in Kyeongnam province. The data were analyzed with the SPSS statistical package using cronbach`s α-coefficient, frequency distribution, percentage, pearson’s r-coefficient, and regression analysis. The results of this study are as follows: There were negative correlations between social supports and stress. Furthermore, the higher the family`s economic situation, the greater the degree of social support to the adolescent. When parents have higher expectations for their children`s education the adolescents have better relationships with friends, teachers and their parents and they also have a successful school life. In contrast, when social support was low there was a negative effect on the adolescents lives:their stress level increased. There was less conversation between parents and children. When parents had lower expectations of their children their children had less study time per day. They used computers less often and the children had negative relationships with friends and parents. Social support buffered the related stresses. Finally, adolescent`s stress levels decrease with higher levels of social support.
