摘要:This study explored relationships between intemnal locus of control,ego-resilience,and behavior problems including effects of cgo-resilience as mediating variables of behavior problems in 135 institutionalized children. Instruments were the Locus of Control (Min,1999) and Ego-resilience (Yoon et al.2001) scales and Korea-Child Behavior Checklist (Oh et al,1997). Locus of control was administered to the children;ego-resilience and behavior problems were rated by teachers. Findings were that (1) intermal locus of control related positively to egor-esilience and negatively to behavior problems; egor-rsilience related negatively to behavior problems. (2) Effects of intermal locus of control on behavior problems were mediated by ego-esilience;ego-resilience sub-factors of peer relationships and comprehension ability mediated relationships between intemal locus of control and behavior problems.
