최근 학교 아동들 사이에 집단따돌림현상이 문제화되고 있다. 학급에서 여러명의 학생이 특정 학생을 놓고 집중적으로 괴롭히고 따돌리는 현상은 비단 따돌림을 당하는 아동뿐만 아니라, 따돌림을 하는 아동들에게도 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 따돌림의 원인은 다양하며 그중 따돌리거나 따돌림을 당하는 아동의 인격적 측면도 중요하리라 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구는 집단 따돌림의 피해군, 가해군, 피해 및 가해군과 무경험군 사이에 인격성향의 차이점이 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 1999년 3월부터 1999년 8월까지 서울에 소재한 초등학교 6학년에 재학중인 아동 215명(남자 115명, 여자 100명)을 대상으로 하였다. 아동과 아동의 보호자에게 집단따돌림의 여부에 관한 설문지를 배부하여 조사하였으며 아동의 보호자에게 한국아동인성검사(Korean Personality Inventory for Children, 1997)를 실시하여 아동에 관한 자료들을 조사하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS version 통계 처리 프로그램을 사용하였고 각 집단간 차이는 ANOVA, post hoc scheffe test, Student’s t-test로 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 피해군, 가해군, 피해 및 가해군과 무경험군은 각각 11명(5.1%), 56명(26.0%), 11명(5.1%), 137명(63. 7%)이었다. 2) 따돌림피해의 빈도에 있어 1회 15명(7.0%), 2회 4명(1.9%), 3회이상 3명(1.4%)이었다. 또한 따돌림 가해빈도는 1회 40명(18.6%), 2회 17명(7.9%), 3회이상 10명(4.7%)이었다. 3) 집단따돌림의 피해군, 가해군, 피해 및 가해군과 무경험군에 있어 한국아동인성검사상 결과는 다음과 같았다. (1) 무경험군에 비하여 피해군은 자아탄력성(p=.00)척도가 유의하게 낮았으며, 과잉행동(p=.00), 정신증척도(p<.01)는 유의하게 높았다. (2) 무경험군에 비하여 피해 및 가해군은 자아탄력성척도(p=.00)가 유의하게 낮았고, 신체화(p=.00). 과잉행동척도(p=.00)는 유의하게 높았다. (3) 가해군에 비하여 피해군은 사회관계(p=.00), 정신증(p<.01), 자폐증척도(p=.00)가 유의하게 높았다. (4) 가해군은 무경험군과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상으로 보아 피해아동은 상황에 따른 적응력이 떨어져 적절히 대응하지 못하며, 대인관계를 잘 갖지 못하고 행동이 부산하거나 충동적인 면이 있어 또래관계에서 소외되고, 정서적으로 불안정, 의사소통의 어려움 및 사회기술이 떨어지고 사회적으로 고립되는 인격성향을 보이며, 이러한 특성은 피해전의 특성일수도 있으나, 피해로 인해 생긴 문제일수도 있을 것으로 생각된다. 피해 및 가해아동도 피해아동처럼 적응력이 떨어져 적절히 대응하지 못하고 행동이 부산하거나 충동적인 면이 있으나 사회적 관계를 맺는 기술의 문제나 정신증적인 특성, 자폐증적인 특성을 보이지 않고, 자신이 피해후 갖게된 분노감, 우울, 불안 등을 신체화시키고, 그러한 느낌에서 벗어나기 위해 다른 친구를 가해하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 피해아동보다 피해후 발생하는 사회적 위축이나 적응상의 문제가 더 적을 것이다. 또한 가해 아동은 인격성향에 있어서 특이소견이 없었던 바 사회문화적, 교육적 측면에서의 접근이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Although increasing number of children are being raised by grandparents these days, little research exists on the development of the children in this arrangement. This study aimed at examining school adjustment of the children raised by grandparents, by comparing academic achievement and general classroom and school behaviors of the children in grandparent families with those of their peers from other types of families such as two-parents, single parent, kinship and institution care, and single parent with grandparent(s). Three hundred and twenty four 2nd graders md two hundred ninety eight 5th graders were surveyed for this study. It was found that children raised solely by grandparents did quite well, relative to children in traditional families where two parents were present. Children from single-parent families were significantly worse in school achievement and study habits than children in traditional nuclear families. Girls obtained higher scores on school achievement and study habits whereas they showed lower scores on problem behaviors than boys. There was also an interaction effect between family structure and gender of child in school achievement.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of a logotherapy group-counseling progrm on levels of life purpose, self-esteem, and school adjustment among middle school students. Methods: The participants were 32 Korean middle school male students recruited from two middle schools in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. They voluntarily participated in this program and were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 8) or the control group (n = 8) in each school. Thus, the number of participants of each group was 16. The experimental group counseling sessions occurred twice weekly for 4 weeks, and each session lasted 50 min. No treatment was offered to the control group. Results: First, as hypothesized, the logotherapy group-counseling program had significant effects on the life purpose of adolescents. Second, the program had a positive effect on improving self-esteem. The level of self-esteem in the experimental group was much higher than in the control group and was statistically significant. Third, the program had a significant effect on school adjustment.

The purpose of this study was to apply the learning clinic program to the maladjusted children to help the cognitive processing style, sense type and learning strategy. The results were as follows. First, the cognitive processing style of low-grade elementary school children is divided into the concept of sequential low-order style, which analyzes information sequentially and consecutively, concrete thinking style that processes real and direct information coming in from outside, and invisible principle or information. The abstract cognitive thinking style improved after the process before the program proceeded. However, There was no meaningful result in the simultaneous processing cognitive style which had excellent intuition and emotion and likes change. Second, the temporal lobe in which the linguistic activity is viewed, heard and spoken in the sensory type, the function of the occipital lobe in which the character or the language is processed is improved, but the function of the parietal lobe in moving and manipulating the body is not significant. Finally, factors that contribute to learning such as sincerity, learning initiative, study method, study habits, and concentration are helpful in learning and school life.

This study investigated relationships of adolescent ego-identity and adaptability to family and school life by socio-demographic variables. 761 questionnaires completed by 11th grade students in Cheju City comprised the data. Reliability of the questionnaire was examined by Cronbach a. The data were analyzed with the SAS program including descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Results showed that (1) adolescents living with their parents adapted better to family life than those who lived separately. Those who shared problems with others adapted to school life better than those who didn't. (2) The ego-identity of boys was higher than girls on seven variables. (3) Ego-identity was higher among those who shared their problems. Those living with parents were higher on "general ego-identity," "worth," "social adaptability", and "self-acceptance." Adolescents with higher ego-identity adapted better to family and school life. (4) Father's career was related to "general ego-identity," "values," "social acceptance," and "peculiartity." Higher family income was related to higher ego-identity. Mother's employment was related only to school life. (5) Father's education was related to adaptation both to family and school life.

The purpose of this study was to identify school adjustment groups by applying a Latent Profile Analysis(LPA) and to investigate the effects of children's emotional problems and study habits on determining the membership of these groups. LPA and multiple logistic regression were conducted using the data of 2,200 third-graders from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study. The results are listed as follows. First, four school adjustment groups were identified: adjustment, approach to adjustment, maladjustment risk, and maladjustment group. Second, accomplishment value and mastery goal orientation were relatively strong predictors of membership of the school adjustment groups. Time management was also a significant variable that predicted the membership of maladjustment or the maladjustment-risk group. Third, attention problems and depression were the most consistent predictors of membership of maladjustment or the maladjustment-risk group. Physical symptoms and social withdrawal were also significant. Based on the results, implications for intervention to promote early school adjustment were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Seesaw & Swing Early Intervention Program on the positive changes of young children from low-income families. The Seesaw & Swing program was developed by the Community Chest of Korea (Hwang et al., 2009). The subjects for this study consisted of 534 3~6-year olds (177 in the service group, 357 in the control group) from low-income families. The instrument used was the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, second edition (Sparrow, Cicchetti, & Balla, 2005). The results of this study indicated that the Seesaw & Swing intervention program produced positive effects in all of the domain areas under examination : namely, the communication abilities, life skills, socialization, physical development, and adaptive behaviors of young children. In conclusion, the Seesaw & Swing Early Intervention Program for young children from low-income families can be said to be an effective early intervention program which goes some way towards ending the intergenerational transition of poverty in Korea.

This study examined the cognitive and social development of children of low income, disabled mothers. Sixty-four disabled mothers and their 3- to 5-year-old normally developing children participated. Children's IQ, receptive vocabulary, and social adaptive ability were measured with Korean-Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (Park et al.,1996), Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Seoul Community Rehabilitation Center, 1995), and Social Maturity Test(Kim & Kim, 1995), respectively. Results showed that IQ and receptive vocabulary scores were lower than average and that verbal IQ was positively related to shared reading time and library use; verbal IQ was negatively related to duration of child-care attendance. Children's social quotient was higher than average and positively related to mother's employment status and amount of books in the home.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of home related variables like socio-demographic variables, parent-child communication, and concern for children's education on children's school adjustment. The data was collected from 287 elementary school children living in Gyunggido. Measurement scales included the children's school adjustment inventory, the questionnaire of the socio-demographic variables, the parent-child communication index, and the parent's concern about children's education index. Results showed that children's school adjustment was significantly effected with regard to: father's age, father's education, mother's education, income, and mother's job. Correlation analysis indicated that parent-child open communication was positively correlated to children's school adjustment; that is the relationships with teachers and with friends, study at school, and rule of school. As well, parent-child problematic communication was negatively correlated to all of the school adjustment variables. Parent's concern about children's education indicated positive correlations with all of the school adjustment variables. It was also found that: parent's concern about children's education, parent-child open communication, parent-child problematic communication, mother's education, and income were significant predictors of the children's school adjustment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between obesity stress, self-esteem, and adaptation to school life according to body mass index of elementary school students in higher grades and to provide basic data for the development of health education programs. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select four elementary schools. Self-reporting questionnaires were distributed to the subjects to collect data, which were then analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The higher the obesity index, the more obesity stress the students experienced. Second, the lower the level of obesity, the higher both self-esteem and the level of adjustment to school life were. There was a meaningful correlation between obesity stress, self-esteem, and adjustment to school life. Conclusion: The study results are expected to be useful in serving as a basic material for the development of programs that can improve students' adjustment to school life and self-esteem while reducing their stress caused by obesity.
