Abstract
In this study, it was compared how different the adjustment, self-perception, social support and stress between science-gifted children and general children, and the difference between gifted boys and girls. And it was identified what are the effects on stress of science-gifted children. The subjects were 89 science-gifted children of the first grade in Middle School at JeonJu. Science-gifted students in this study were identified through the teacher nomination and CNU(ChonbukNational University) Science & Math Tests. We used the standard object as the comparative group (general children). The results of this study were as follow; First, all personal-adjustment and social-adjustment domains, self-perception and teacher support of science-gifted children were significantly higher than those of general children. All disadjustment domains, parent support and friend support of science-gifted children were significantly lower than those of general children. Second, the self-planning, prejudice, social competence, behavioral conduct, global self worth, parent support, teacher support and classmate support of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the gender. Third, the motive of accomplishment, self-planning, attachment and social-affirmation of the science-gifted children correlated negatively with their stress. Fourth, the social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, global self worth and social support of the science-gifted children correlated negatively with their stress. The global self worth of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the variables such as teacher support, close friend support, parent support and classmate support in the other of name. The most influential factor was teacher support. The stress of the science-gifted children had the significant difference according to the variables such as parent support, close friend support and global self worth in the other of name. The most influential factor was parent support.
본 연구는 과학영재아동의 개인 및 일상생활에서의 적응수준, 성별에 따른 적응, 자기지각 및 사회적 지지의 차이를 파악하며, 스트레스와 적응과의 관계와 그들의 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 자기지각 및 사회적 지지 수준을 살펴보고자 하였으며, 연구결과로는 첫째, 과학영재아동의 개인적응, 사회적응, 자기지각과 교사지지는 일반아동의 이러한 능력보다 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 부적응, 부모지지, 친구지지는 과학영재아동이 일반아동보다 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 과학영재아동의 자기기획, 편견, 사회적 역량, 행동품행역 량, 자아가치감, 부모지지, 교사지지, 학교친구지지는 성별에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 과학영재아동의 성취동기, 자기기획, 애착 및 사회적 긍정성은 스트레스와 유의미한 부적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 과학영재아동의 사회적 역량, 운동역량, 신체외모역량, 행동품행역량, 자아가치감 및 사회적 지지와 스트레스는 유의미한 부적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 과학영재아동의 자아가치감에 영향을 미치는 변인은 교사지지($\beta$=.26), 친한친구지지($\beta$=.25), 부모지지($\beta$=.21), 학교친구지지($\beta$=.21)순이고 이들의 설명력은 41%이었다. 또한 과학영재아동의 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 변인은 부모지지($\beta$=-.32),친한친구지지($\beta$=-.28), 자아가치감($\beta$=-.28)순이고 이중 부모지지가 가장 예측력이 큰 변인이었으며, 이들의 설명력은 38%이었다.
