농촌다문화 초등학교 학생의 사회적 지지 및 부모-자녀간 의사소통이 정서지능에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study was to investigate the relationship among emotional intelligence, social support and parent-child communication of multicultural primary school students in rural areas. All of the students for the study were sampled from three multicultural primary schools in rural areas. About 10% among them were from multicultural family students. First, the result indicated that students` emotional intelligence was positively correlated with social support and open communication with their parents. Second, there were no significant differences between unicultural family and multicultural family in social support, parent-child communication, and emotional intelligence. Third, the result of regression analysis revealed that peer and family support were predictors of emotional intelligence of multicultural primary school students in rural areas. The implications for the improvement strategy for multicultural primary school in rural ares were suggested.
