다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study focused on the school resilience of the poor youth, characteristics of the youth thriving in school in spite of poverty. It examined risk and protective factors related to school resilience of adolescents in poverty.
Developmental differences of the individual were explained by the interaction of risk and protective factors. Risk factors were supposed to increase the likelihood of dysfunction whereas protective factors were hypothesized to reduce the likelihood of dysfunction in the presence of the risk. For understanding the school resilience, it was necessary to examine extent of the protective factors as well as the risk factors.
Data came from the survey of 373 middle-school students having the poor family background.
The major findings are as follows. The analysis indicated that various risk factors such as depression/frustration traits, developmental/medical risks have a significant effect on school resilience. The protective factors such as sense of responsibility, positive climate of schools, democratic parenting, planfulness, extracurricular activities are important in explaining school resilience. Overall risk factors are much less likely to explain poor adolescents' resilience than protective factors.
In conclusion, this study confirmed that school resilience of adolescents in poverty was affected by various risk factors and protective factors. In order to improve school resilience of poor adolescents, risk factors have to be reduced and protective factors to be increased. Those findings have provided various theoretical and practical implications for school social workers and professionals helping adolescents in poverty.
