ABSTRACT

This study was to investigate the moderating effects of ego-resilience and social support on the perceived academic stress and internalization problems resulting from academic achievement pressure. 379 elementary school boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades were asked to complete a variety of questionnaires. On the regression analyses, it showed differential patterns of moderating effects depending on sex. The moderating effects of ego-resilience and social support on the perceived academic stress was found in boys, but not in girls. Also sex difference was found on the internalization problem caused by perceived academic stress, the moderating effect of social support on internalization problem was found in boys, while the moderating effect of ego-resilience on internalization problem was found in girls. The result suggests that both ego-resilience and social support may play protective factors in boys but only ego-resilience in girls.
