Ⅰ.The Aim of study
The present study aims to investigate relationships of school-related sources of stress to manifestations of stress when mediated by personality and demographics of children. This study based on Helms's Model of child stress Which is originated with Bandura's social learning paradigm
The concrete detailed of this study are as follows'
1. There are significant relationships between school-related sources of stress, manifestations of stress and the effect of the predictor variables of sex.
2. There are significant relationships between school-related sources of stress, manifestations of stress and the effect of the predictor variables grade.
3. There are significant relationships between school-related sources stress and grade level structure.
4. There are significant relationships between school-related sources stress and anxiety of children.
5. There are significant relationships between school-related sources of stress and social introversion of children.
Ⅱ. The method of study
1. Subject
66 students of 5th grade(M:40 F:26) and 89 students of 7th grade(M:42 F:47) were selected for this study and the selection was through purposive sampling.
2. Instrument
Instrument employed were Helms's School Situation Survey, Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAL, Form-Ⅱ), and Kim Joong Sool's Social Introversion Inventory.
Ⅲ. The results of study
Major findings of this study are as follows.
1.Between school-related sources of stress and sex, there are no significant differences at p>.05 level. Furthermore, a partially significant relationship is found between sex and manifestation variables( p<.05).
2.An examination of the relationship of grade and grade level structure to suorce and manifestations of stress indicated that children at different grade levels perceive and react to stressors differently.
3. There is a meaningful relation between school-related stress and anxiety. That is, as the school-related stress is higher, the anxiety higher.
But there is no meaningful relation between the school-related stress and social introversion
