초록
This study analyzed the portrayal of adult characters in 176 picture books published in Korea by variables of character's external condition(sex, name, age and occupation), type(3-dimensional or flat), conflicts, and image. Standards for analysis of the picture books were devised by the researcher. Results showed that (1) adult male characters appeared much more frequently than female; they appeared most often without names and in order of older, middle aged, young adult. They appeared most often without occupations. (2) 3-dimensional characters appeared much more than flat ones. (3) Adult conflict situations were rare and were mostly interpersonal. They often resolved their conflicts by themselves. (4) The 20 kinds of images of the adult characters were mostly humorous, warm-hearted and attentive.
