Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare emotional problems, the related risk factors, and protective factors of impoverished children with those of enriched children in order to examine the effects of the related factors, and to suggest practical interventions and the functions of the social welfare service. Participants for this study were 458 students in the 4th, 5th and 6th grade of elementary school located in the Metropolitan area. The major findings were as follows: First, impoverished children had more emotional problems compared with enriched children. Second, poverty was found to influence the emotional problems of children. Third, concerning the relation between a family's poverty and the emotional problems of children, the finding is that eating habits, parents' health problems and marital conflict are mediating-factors.
