Abstract

This study investigated the effects of the intergenerational horticultural activity program on the improvement of emotion and self-esteem for the elderly and young children. When the pre- and post-treatments of the elderly was compared, both the control and treatment didn't show a significant difference in emotion. In self-esteem of the elderly the control didn't show a significant difference; on the contrary, treatment showed a highly significant difference ($p$<0.01). When a comparison was made on the pre- and post-treatment of young children, the control didn't show a significant difference in emotional intelligence; on the contrary, treatment showed a highly significant difference ($p$<0.001). In self-esteem of young children both the control and the treatment didn't show a significant difference. The results suggest that intergenerational horticultural activity program can improve young children's emotional intelligence and the elderly's self-esteem.

본 연구는 세대간 원예활동 프로그램이 노인과 유아의 정서와 자아존중감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 세대간 원예활동 프로그램 실시 전, 후 노인의 정서를 비교한 결과, 대조군과 실험군 모두 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 노인의 자아존중감을 비교한 결과 대조군에서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 실험군에서는 유의한 차이를 나타냈다($p$<0.01). 세대간 원예활동 프로그램 실시 전, 후 유아의 정서지능을 비교했을 때, 대조군은 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 실험군은 유의한 차이를 나타냈다($p$<0.001). 유아의 자아존중감을 비교한 결과 대조군, 실험군 두 집단 모두 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 세대간 원예활동 프로그램이 노인의 자아존중감과 유아의 정서지능 향상에 기여할 수 있었다.
