Abstract

This study investigated the longitudinal effect of peer play behavior (PPB) during toddlerhood on social competence (SC), followed by the effect on adaptation to elementary school. Data were collected from the 4th to 9th Panel Study on Korean Children between 2011 to 2016, of which the data collected from 114 boys and 94 girls were finally analyzed. Multi-Mediator Model Analysis were performed using SPSS and PROCESS macro programs. First, PPB observed at the age of three significantly predicted PPB observed at ages four and five. It significantly affected SC observed at the age of six after transitioning through PPB at each stage. Second, PPB observed at the age of three significantly impacted the degree of adaptation in the first and second grades of elementary school. The medium identified in this second finding was PPB observed after the age of three and SC observed at the age of six.

본 연구는 만 3세 유아를 대상으로 6년 간 추적하여 유아기 또래놀이행동이 사회적 유능감에 미치는 종단적인 영향과 이를 거쳐서 초등학교 적응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 한국아동패널(Panel Study on Korean Children)의 4차부터 9차 자료(2011~2016년)를 활용하여 남아 114명과 여아 94명으로부터 수집된 자료를 분석대상으로 선별하였다. SPSS와 PROCESS macro 프로그램을 사용하여 상관분석과 다중매개모형 분석이 수행되었으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 만 3세 시기에 관찰된 또래놀이행동은 만 4세와 만 5세에 관찰된 또래놀이행동을 의미 있게 예측해주며 각 시점의 또래놀이행동을 거쳐서 만 6세에 관찰된 사회적 유능감에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 만3세 시기에 관찰된 또래놀이행동은 향후 시점에 관찰된 또래놀이행동과 만 6세에 관찰된 사회적 유능감을 매개로 하여 초등학교 1학년과 2학년 시점의 적응 수준에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
