Human development is made possible by a dynamic relationship between the individual and his environment. However, that environmental forces are more potent than heredity forces in development of intelligence has been demonstrated in a number of studies. Development of intelligence has based on home enviroment stronger than school environment and society environment.
There is no doubt a good home environment can help a child to develop his intelligence higher. Home environment is composed of status environment, structure environment and
process environment.
The purpose of present study is to find relationship between variables of home environment and intelligence. The sample for this study is 228 students randomly selected from two middle school students in Chun Ra Nam Do. To measure their home environment and intelligence, the standardized home environment test and intelligence test was used.
The conclusions of this study are as follows,
1. Relationship between variables of home environment and intelligence was as follows.
① value orientation --r = -.01
② group character --r = .04
③ psychological process --r = .15
④ psysical condition --r = .47
2. Compared with difference in variables of home environment between higher IQ group and lower IQ group, three variables was found to be signicant as followings.
① psysical environment --p <.001
② social mobility --p <.01
③ affection --p <.05
3. From the above data it was found that psysical environment is the most important factor to develop intelligence in all factors of home environment.
This study attempted to find only the relationship between home environment and intelligence by statisfical anaysis.
Therefore, the conclusions draw from this study are based upon data which are too limited to generalize.
