다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the relationship among ego-resilience, stress and stress copying styles. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, female students are reported to be under more pressure than male students, especially in regard to family, friends or about themselves whereas in terms of ego-resilience and stress copying styles, no discrepancy was found between genders. Second, the more energetic and less curious the male students are, the less stress they felt about friendships and about themselves. The more male students suppress their emotions and try to control their emotion, the more distressed they were about schools, families and surroundings. Third, it was found that if the middle school students with active curiosity try to excessively control their emotions and cannot properly express them, they tend to respond passively to the stressful situations. The current study is significant in that it explores the effect of ego-resilience on stress and stress-coping by gender. The study also suggests that it is needed to develop ego-resilience improvement program based on gender differences.
