Mainly focused on the children from the low income families, this research constructed a model between children’s social skills and family deficiencies-defined as the risk factor- with social support and social intelligence -defined as the protective factors- as the mediators. Ninety elementary students from low income families, who attends local welfare facilities around Seoul and Kyung-gi district, were chosen to carry out such purpose. This research conducted surveys on teachers to examine children’s social skills. It used self surveys on the children to investigate their social support and executed the WISC-R to figure out their social intelligence. This research also analyzed the relationships between the intrinsic variables of social skills to find out the influence of the risk factor and the mediating effect of the protective factor. The results are the followings: 1) Children from families have deficiency have more negative perception on social support, lower social intelligence, and lower social skills. 2) Children’s social support, their social intelligence, and types of deficiency in their families were highly related to the children’s social skills. 4) In the relationship between children’s family deficiencies and their social skills, the mediating effect of the children’s social support and their social intelligence is proven to be influential. In Conclusion, the researcher’s hypothesized Path-Model for a child’s social skills was proved to be true. Therefore, this study provides the new perspective that the children from low income and deficient families do not lack social skills like adaptation ability if friends, family, and teacher supports them and if they possess enough social intelligence.
