다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to examine the relationship between the stress and the self-concept of the adolescents according to the gender. This study used the data of Korea Youth Panel Survey (KYPS) Performed by Korea Institute for Youth Development. Prior to the study, factor analysis was performed in order to examine how the dimension of the stress and self-concept could be structured. As a result of factor analysis, the stress could be divided into four dimensions of the stress from parent, study, friends and appearance/material, while the self-concept was divided into four dimension of natural self, self-torment self, deviated self and leading self. Among four factors of self concept, self-torment self was proved to have the closest relationship with stress. And there was no big difference in this result when compared between both genders. As a result of gender comparison for multi-variable regression
analysis with self concept as dependent variable, the friend stress was the most influential factor in case of male students while appearance/material stress was the most influential factor in case of female students.
