In this paper, constituent quark model and the phenomenological Breit-
Wigner resonances P-33(1232), S-11(1535), D-13(1520), P-11(1440), and
F-15(1680) are utilized to calculate the nucleon spin structure functi
on g(1)(x,Q(2)) in the resonance region at points Q(2) = 0.5 GeV2 and
Q(2) = 1.2 GeV2. Moreover, the total real photoabsorption cross sectio
ns are also estimated. The results are compared with recent experiment
al data. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
