ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural relations among social relationships, self-esteem, resilience and school life adaptation which are expected to influence on school life of middle and high school students with intellectual disabilities. For this, a questionnaire targeting 375 mentally-handicapped middle and high school students in three cities and provinces was carried out, and the collected questionnaire data was used for the basic statistics analysis and the structure equation modeling analysis. The result showed that social relationships had a positive influence on self-esteem and resilience, and self-esteem and resilience did so on school life adaptation. In terms of the degree of influence on each course, the course of social relationships’ influencing on resilience was the highest, and followed by the one of resilience’s influencing on school life adaptation, the one of self-esteem’s influencing on school life adaptation and the one of social relationships’ influencing on self-esteem. With regard to the structural relations by class, there was a significant difference in all the courses except the one of social relationships’ influencing on self-esteem. In terms of the structural relations by arrangement type, all the courses showed a significant difference. This study suggested a proposal for a follow-up study based on this result and with discussion.
