The objective of this study id to investigate adolescents` morality and social relationship which can be acquired by taking part in the recreation activity, and also to find out the effect of the participation rate on the morality and social relationship. The objects of the research are middle school and high school students dwelling in Seoul and Kyeongkido now, and I intentionally choose 558 students with a random sampling considering the sex, the grade, and the proportion of the participation rate, level, and pattem in the recreation activity. As the results of investigating the materials for research in accordance with the plan and objective of this study, I come to the following conclusions. 1) Morality and Social Relationships of Adolescents According to the Socio-Populational Background On the basis of the five-level measure of Likert, the soundness is high, the responsibility, the honesty, and the trust medium, and the law-abiding spirit low, which belong to the subordinate change cause of the morality. With the consideration of the sex, the soundness of boys is higher than they of girls, while the trust of girls is higher than that of boys. And judging from the religion, religious students are more responsible and sound. Judging from the subordinate change cause of the social relationship, the social support rate is medium, and moreover the contact range, frequency, and intimacy are low level. On the scholastic level, the social support rate of middle school students is higher than that of high school students. 2) Morality and Social Relationship by Participation Range, Level, and Pattern in the Recreation Activity With due regard to the intensity of the participation, the group of `More than three hours` shows more responsibility and trust, while the soundness appears higher in the group of `Two to three hours`. Besides, the honesty is found higher in the group of `One to two hours`. In relation to the participation frequency. the group of `Two to three a month` dhows higher responsibility, soundness, honesty, and tryst, but the law-abiding spirit is higher in the group of `Four to five a month`. On the participation period, the responsibility can be seen higher in the group of `More than two years`, the soundness and honesty the group of `Six months to one year`, the trust the group of `Less than six months`. In addition, in connection with the participation level, the non-systematic group shows more contact range than the systematic group. Meanwhile, on the analysis of the participation pattern, the honesty of the physical participation group is higher than that of the sightseeing group, and the intellectual, tasteful, and social participation group show higher trust comparing to the sightseeing group. And the contact range level is higher in the physical, tasteful, and sightseeing group in comparison with the intellectual, social, and entertaining group. 3) Interrelation among the Subordinate Change Causes of Participation Rate, Morality, and Social Relationship The participation intensity, which is the subordinate change cause of the participation rate, has a positive interrelation with the responsibility, and a negative interrelation with the soundness, honesty, and tryst. And the participation frequency shows a positive interrelation with the responsibility, but has a negative interrelation with the soundness, honesty, trust, and contact range. Furthermore, the participation period has a positive interrelation with the responsibility, but a negative interrelation with the honesty and trust. Meanwhile, the social support and contact frequency. which is the subordinate change cause of the social relationship, shows a positive interrelation with the law-abiding spirit, while the intimacy has a negative interrelation with the law-abiding spirit. 4) Effect of Participation Rate on Morality The participation intensity influences on the responsibility positively, while it has a negative effect on the sound
