과학교육에서의 문제해결력의 강조는 그 긴 역사를 가지고 있으나, 인지 심리학에서의 정보처리 모형을 사용한 문제해결과정의 분석이 사용되면서 그 교수가능성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 하나의 탐색연구로써 학습자들이 물리문제를 해결하려는 과정에서 그 문제를 자기나름으로 이해하여 만든 내적표상과 동원한 해결방안이 문제해결에 어떤 관련이 있는지를 알아내보려고 한다. 물리전공 박사과정 학생 3명을 전문가로, 고등학생 2명과 대학 1년생 4명, 모두 6명을 초보자로 삼아 역학내용을 다룬 세 문제를 소리내어 푸는 과정을 개인별로 녹음하여 그 문제해결과정들을 분석하였으며, 학생들의 사고수준을 알기위해 사고 수준검사가 실시 되었다. 주로 질적 분석을 사용했으나 그 결론을 뒷받침하기위해 비모수통계방법이 사용되었다. (유의수준 . 10) 밝혀진 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 내적표상은 피험자와 문제에 따라 각각 달랐다. 초보자들은 모두 한가지 표상을 세 문제에 걸쳐 계속 사용한데 반해, 2명의 전문가는 문제에 따라 다른 표상을 사용하였다. 이러한 표상의 형태에 따라 문제해결결과가 달랐다. 즉,일-에너지 표상형태를 사용한 피험자가 더 나은 결과를 얻는것으로 나타났다. 2) 문제해결방안에 있어서는 전문가들은 세문제에 걸쳐 계속하여 지식-개발 방안을 사용하였으나 초보자들은 문제에 따라 다른 방안들을 동원하였다. 지식-개발 방안을 사용한 경우가 다른 것들에 비해 더 나은 결과를 얻는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 사고 수준검사(하위검사 또는 전체)의 접수와 문제해결과정 변인들-특히 내적표상의 형태, 문제해결방안의 종류, 목표확인 그리고 문제 해결력-간에는 유의미한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 그외 속도와 가속도 개념의 혼동, 마찰력 개념의 부정확 등이 공통적으로 범하는 실수였다. 본 연구가 과학교육 실제에 주는 함의로는 내적표상, 문제해결방안의 훈련을 통한 문제해결력의 향상을 들 수 있겠으며 이를 위한 세부연구가 실행되어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study were to explore the relations of preschoolers' narrative representation profile types to diurnal cortisol regulation pattern at home. Fourteen story stems from the MacArthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB, Bretherton, et al., 1990) were administered to 40 preschoolers(22 boys, 18 girls, aged 5) recruited from 8 kindergartens in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. And also, their saliva cortisol was collected. The children's responses were aggregated into 5 dimensions, based on content themes and performance scores, which included emotions expressed and narrative coherence using the MacArthur Narrative Coding System(Robinson, et al., 2004). Data were analyzed by means of cluster analysis. Five response profiles emerged over the course of this research: Prosocial, Anxiety, Dyregulated aggression, Restricted, and Avoidance profiles. Cortisol at home showed decrease diurnal cortisol regulation patterns, however it showed a difference according to narrative response profiles. Restricted, Prosocial, and Avoidance profiles showed decrease diurnal cortisol regulation patterns. Anxiety profiles showed flat pattern, and Dyregulated aggression profile showed rising diurnal cortisol regulation pattern. These results show the preschoolers' internal representation may affect the diurnal cortisol reaction in daytime.

The objective of this study is to understand disordered parent-child relationships of Reactive Attachment Disorder(RAD) systematically through the mother’ internal working model of child. In this study, RAD mothers’internal representations of the child were compared with mothers’of control group and association between mothers’ representation classifications and children’ attachment classifications was examined. Also individual differences in mother-child interaction by mothers’representation classifications was observed. The subjects of this study were 40 2-5 year-old children and their mothers, 20 attachment disordered dyads and 20 normal dyads of control group. Mothers were interviewed using the Working Model of the Child(Zeanah, Benoit & Barton 1986) to classify internal representations of child. Children’ attachment patterns were assessed by the Strange Situation Procedure. For observation of motherchild interaction, Each dyad was seen in DPICS devised by Eyberg and Robinson(1983). The results of the study were as follows：1) Among RAD group, 55% of mothers were classified as disengaged and 45% classified as distorted, while all mothers of control group were classified as balanced. In rating scales, there were significant differences in all 3 representation classifications in Intensity of involvement and Coherence. In Intensity of involvement disengaged representations had the lowest score and distorted representations had the lowest score in Coherence. 2) Mothers’representation classifications were related to children’ attachment classifications. All mothers of control group whose children were classified as secure were classified as balanced. Among RAD’ mothers, by contrast, 82% of mothers classified as disengaged had children classified as anxious-avoidant, 56% of mothers classified as distorted had children classified as disorganized / disoriented and 33% of mothers classified as distorted had children classified as anxious-resistant. 3) There were individual differences in mother-child interactions by mothers’representation classifications. In the child-centered play, mothers classified as disengaged used discriptive statement, reflective statement and discriptive-reflective question less than balanced mothers. Mothers classified as distorted used direct command and indirect command more than balanced mothers. In the clean-up task, mothers classified as disengaged and distorted used direct command and indirect command more than balanced mothers. The results of this study suggest that parents’working model of the child is an important factor to understand parent-child attachment relationships and their interactions. The understanding of parents’ working model of the child is thought to enrich our understanding of disordered parent-child relationships and to provide useful informations for specific and successful treatments.

The study examined the mental representation of children in foster care through the MacArthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB) and reviewed difference between children in foster care and typical children in terms of mental representation. Subjects of the study included a total of 50 children: 25 children (11 boys and 14 girls), aged from 5 to 8, in foster care in Gyeonggi Province, and 25 typical children (11 boys and 14 girls), aged from 5 to 8, who lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The research findings are summarized as follows: First, in terms of mental representation, children in foster care showed less subjects of empathic relations and more subjects of disorganized aggression than typical children. Second, children in foster care showed lower coherence mental representation than typical children. Finally, children in foster care were more likely to fail in emotional regulation than typical children in mental representation.

The clinical assessment for preschool children who are known to have problems in selfreporting tends to be dependent on outsiders' reporting. Thus, the direct assessment of children's inner experience, thoughts and feelings is difficult. MacArthur Story-Stem Battery(MSSB) developed to learn more about preschool children's mental representation in play is used in this study to help assess clinical preschool children through developmental study of normal children's mental representation. Fifty five children(32boys and 23girls) who performed MSSB, IQ Test, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised(PPVT) were videotaped and were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows：1) Children frequently displayed negative mental representation such as atypical negative response, reparation/guilt, punishment, personal injury and so on during emotionally laden play situation. 2) Mental representation of parent appeared positive, disciplinary, and negative in respective. 3) As a result of factor analysis of MSSB content themes, aggressive, prosocial, and oppositional content theme composites were generated. Aggressive content included atypical negative response, aggression, personal injury, and exclusion. Prosocial content included affection, affiliation, and reparation/guilt. Oppositional content included punishment and non-compliance. 4) Mental representation of parent and content themes showed significant correlation. Positive, negative, and disciplinary representation were significantly correlated for prosocial(r=0.40), aggressive (r=0.52), and oppositional(r=0.75) content theme respectively. 5) Among the correlations between parental mental representations and emotional responses, positive parental representation and anxiety showed significant negative correlation(r=-0.43). 6) Among the correlations between content themes and emotional responses, there were significant positive correlations between aggressive(r=0.28) and oppositional content themes(r=0.29) and distress, and were significant negative correlations between prosocial content theme and concern(r=-0.29) and anxiety(r=-0.43). According to the above results, preschool children frequently displayed negative mental representation in emotionally conflictual play situation. Children with more prosocial themes in their stories exhibit more positive parental mental representation. Also, children with more aggressive themes tend to display more negative parental representation and negative emotional responses.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the formation of parental beliefs. For this study, 154 unmarried university students were asked to fill in a packet of survey questionnaire about parental beliefs, the internal representation of childhood, and communication with their parents. Data collected were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression by SPSS PC program. It was reported that the internal representation of parenting formed in childhood influences the development of rational authoritative beliefs, distancing beliefs, and direct authoritative beliefs. Also, the open communication with parents affected the distancing beliefs and rational authoritative beliefs.

Data were collected from 110 preschoolers, 59 boys, 51 girls (ages 4-5) and their mothers. Peer competence was assessed by the Child Behavior Scale (Birsh & Ladd, 1998) and the Peer Rating Scale (Asher et al., 1979). Children's internal representations were measured by the MacArthur Story-Stem Battery (2004) and coded by the MacArthur Narrative Coding Manual (2004). Maternal parenting behaviors were observed during mother-child interaction at home and analyzed with the Teaching Strategies Rating Scale (Erickson, Sroufe, & Egeland, 1985). Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling analysis. Results confirmed the pathway from maternal parenting behaviors via children's internal representations to peer competence showing a significantly good model fit.

This study examined whether children's peer representations are associated with peer acceptance and whether attributions and goals are related to representations about behavioral responses in ambiguous provocation and conflict situations. The subjects were 119 5th-grade children responded to 4 hypothetical situations. Results indicated that children's positive representations about peer conduct in ambiguous provocations were related to their higher level of peer acceptance, and positive representations about a friend in conflict situations were associated with their perceived positive qualities of friendship. Children's positive attribution and relational goal orientation were associated with relational behavioral responses. Gender differences were found for some goals and behavioral responses, with girls displaying a more relational goal and behavioral response orientation than boys.

This study explored the relationship of behavioral inhibition to narrative representations. Narratives of 96 four-year-old children were recorded and analyzed by the scoring system of Robinson, Holmberg and Klute(in press). Six clusters were found : Constrained(47.9%), Anxious/Restricted(23.9%), Emotional Integrated/Empathic(12.5%), Empathic/Avoidant(6.3%), Dysregulated(5.2%) and Anxious/Avoidant(4.2%) clusters. Behavioral inhibition was determined by observations using "Play with Unfamiliar Peers(Rubin et al., 2002)". Behavioral inhibition differences corresponded to the children's narrative representation clusters; The Anxious/Restricted Cluster was related to more and the Emotional Integrated/Empathic Cluster to less inhibited behavior. In context-specific differences, more inhibited behavior was related to Anxious/Avoidant Clusters during show-and-tess and to Empathic/Avoidant Clusters during card-sorting activities, respectively.

This paper proposes an improved system for recognizing facial expressions in various internal states that is illumination-invariant and without detectable rue such as a neutral expression. As a preprocessing to extract the facial expression information, a whitening step was applied. The whitening step indicates that the mean of the images is set to zero and the variances are equalized as unit variances, which reduces murk of the variability due to lightening. After the whitening step, we used the facial expression information based on principal component analysis(PCA) representation excluded the first 1 principle component. Therefore, it is possible to extract the features in the lariat expression images without detectable cue of neutral expression from the experimental results, we ran also implement the various and natural facial expression recognition because we perform the facial expression recognition based on dimension model of internal states on the images selected randomly in the various facial expression images corresponding to 83 internal emotional states.
