Abstract

This study investigated the effects of maternal acceptance attitudes towards children's emotional expressiveness and children's emotional intelligences on peer interaction. A total of 145 Korean mothers with children from 3-5 years old and children's teachers were selected from 4 kindergartens and 6 daycare centers in Incheon and Kyunggi areas. The results were as follows. First, generally, children's emotional intelligence was significantly different depending on gender of the children. Second, there was no difference based on age and gender in maternal acceptance attitudes towards a child's positive emotional expressiveness, but there was a difference based on gender in maternal acceptance attitudes toward a child's negative emotional expressiveness. Third, the children's positive peer interaction was significantly different depending on gender of the children, but the children's negative peer interaction was significantly different based on age and gender of the children.

본 연구의 목적은 자녀의 또래 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 자녀의 정서표현에 대한 어머니의 수용태도와 자녀의 정서지능의 효과를 살펴보았다. 서울 경기지역에 거주하는 3-5세 유아를 둔 부모 145명과 유아의 담임선생님이 본 연구에 참여를 하였으며, 수거한 설문지는 SPSS 17을 사용하여, F 검증과 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 우선 유아의 정서 지능은 유아의 성에 따라 차이가 있었고, 어머니의 정서 수용태도는 여아의 부정적인 정서표현을 할 때 만 차이가 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자녀의 긍정적인 또래 상호작용에 영향을 주는 변인은 유아의 성과 유아의 정서 지능이었으며, 자녀의 부정적인 또래 상호작용에 영향을 주는 변인은 유아의 연령과 유아의 정서 지능이었다.
