The mass spectra of nucleon resonances with spin 1/2, 3/2, and 5/2 aresystematically studied in the constituent quark model with meson-quarkcoupling, which is inspired by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry ofQCD. The meson-quark coupling gives rise not only to the one-meson-exchangepotential between quarks but also to the self-energy of baryon resonances dueto the existence of meson-baryon decay channels. The two contributions are consistently taken into account in the calculation. The gross properties of the nucleon resonance spectra are reproduced fairlywell although the predicted mass of N(1440) is too high.
