Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory processing factors that contribute to the temperament and character traits in early childhood. Methods : In this cross-sectional study, caregivers of typically developing children aged 3-6 years responded to the Sensory Profile and the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory. Multiple regression analysis was performed with temperament and character traits as criterion variables and sensory processing quadrants as predictive variables. Results : Sensory sensitivity significantly predicted novelty seeking and cooperativeness. The high frequency of sensory sensitivity behavior was related to high novelty seeking and low cooperativeness. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that sensory sensitivity contributes to the novelty seeking temperament and cooperativeness character in early childhood.

목적 : 본 연구는 유아의 기질 및 성격 특성에 기여하는 감각처리 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 단면연구에서 만 3-6세 전형적 발달 유아의 양육자가 유아용 기질 및 성격검사와 감각프로 파일에 응답하였다. 기질 및 성격 특성의 각 준거 변인에 대하여 감각처리 사분 요인을 예언 변인으로 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : 기질 특성인 자극추구와 성격 특성인 연대감에 대한 감각처리 사분 요인 모형이 유의미하였다. 감각처리 사분 요인 중 민감이 유의미하게 자극추구 기질과 연대감 성격을 예측하였다. 민감 관련 행동이 자주 나타날수록 아동의 자극추구는 높았고 연대감은 낮았다. 결론 : 본 연구는 유아 기질의 자극추구와 성격의 연대감이 감각처리와 관련됨을 확인하였다.
