Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a MOL instrument for school-age children in grades 4 through 6. Method: The research design was a methodological study. A four-phase design involved. 1) Interview data generated from professors, nurses, and elementary school students (n=8). 2) Content validation by expert panel (n=14) 3) Initial items corrected by elementary school students (n=20) 4) Instrument validation by survey (n=574). Finally, 24 items were chosen as a meaning of life scale for late school-age children. Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 24 items was .893 indicated a high internal consistency of the instrument, 2) Through factor analysis, 5 factors were extracted. These factors were labeled as 'relational experience', 'positive attitude', 'satisfaction/ hope', 'pursuit of goal', and experience of family love. These factors explained 52.311% of the total variance. Conclusion: The MOL scale for late school-age children can be used in nursing programs to improve the meaning of life. Studies on difference in meaning of life for late school-age children are needed for reverification.

Individuation and ego identity formation was studied in 297 university students in North Cholla Province. They completed the Korean Late Adolescent Individuation Questionnaire, and the revised version of the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. One-way ANOVA revealed differences in identity status as a function of individuation categories except in moratorium status. Individuated(??) students yielded the highest identity achievement scores and the lowest diffusion scores. Ambiguous students yielded the highest diffusion scores. Less individuated(??) students had the highest foreclosure scores while pseudo-autonomous students had the lowest foreclosure scores.

Negative life events, self-esteem, perceived social support, and maladjustment were studied longitudinally among late elementary children. Subjects were 241 boys and girls for depression and 258 for antisocial behavior. The instruments were the Adolescent Perceived Events Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Social Support Scale for Children, the Revised Korean Version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies' Depression Scale, and the Antisocial Behavior Scale. The results showed that the way variables were reciprocally related to one another in patterns over a period of one year differed by internal and external adjustment. For depression, depression at Time 1 had effects on self-esteem, social support, and depression at Time 2. For antisocial behavior, negative life events at Time 1 influenced negative life events, self-esteem, social support, and antisocial behavior at Time 2. The findings were discussed in relation to the effects of negative life events, self-esteem, and perceived social support on maladjustment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of nocturnal emissions, or wet dreams and to provide information for developing a wet dream education program for elementary school boys. Method: The research design was a descriptive study through questionnaires. Data was collected from May 10, 2009 to May 20, 2009. A total of 197 late elementary school boys in Incheon, Korea participated in this study. Data was analyzed using the SPSS WIN 15.0 program. Result: The results of this study were as follows; Knowledge of wet dreams in late elementary school boys was low; The mean of the information about wet dreams was 14.00 on a 100 point scale; There were significant differences of knowledge regarding wet dreams according to the educational experience at 6 items and wet dreams experience at 12 items of total 21 items. This indicates that present education for wet dreams is not efficient and does not provide appropriate information when they need practical information. Conclusion: Self education learning program for wet dreams should be developed for late elementary school boys which includes different contents and time required for further study, evaluation and assessment.

This study investigated whether children's self-control and sense of humor could moderate negative effects of daily hassles on their school adjustment. Subjects of this study were 880 6th graders (468 boys, 412 girls) in the Seoul metropolitan area. Children reported their daily hassles, school adjustment, self-control, and sense of humor on questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and moderated regression analysis. Results showed that children who experienced less daily hassles, had higher self-control, and higher sense of humor were well-adjusted in their schools. Children's self-control and sense of humor moderated negative effects of daily hassles on school adjustment of children, although the moderate effect was weak.

The purpose of the present study was to explore the stability and changes of participant roles in the bullying process, namely, bullies, victims, followers, outsiders, and defenders. In addition, this study examined associated environmental characteristics of both followers and defenders in sixth graders among peer bystanders in the fifth grade. The participants consisted of 461 children from grades 5 to 6(male: 239, female: 222). Data were collected at one year intervals for two data points. The results indicated a moderate consistency in the participant roles the children take across time. Followers and outsiders tended to change differently in their roles one year later. On the other hand, defenders, bullies, and victims tended to keep the same role. The defenders group generally had higher levels of peer attachment, teacher attachment and community's supervision than the followers group. The implications for future research and intervention in bullying were also discussed.

발달과 성장이 매우 빠르게 진행되는 학령기 아동 및 청소년기에는 비만뿐 아니라 부적절한 저체중 또한 장 단기적으로 많은 건강문제를 초래할 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 시기의 비만과 관련된 건강문제 및 개선책에 대한 연구는 활발히 이루어지고 있지만 저체중과 관련된 건강 관련 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 또한, 실제로 아동의 식습관과 생활습관에 가장 직접적인 영향을 끼치는 요인은 어머니임에도 불구하고, 어머니들의 식습관, 요리습관 및 운동습관과 학령기 아동의 저체중과의 상관관계를 분석한 연구는 특히 국내에서 찾아보기 힘든 실정이다. 이것은 한국 학령기 아동의 저체중을 가져오는 환경적 요인, 그중에서도 가장 큰 요인으로 보고되고 있는 가족의 생활습관에 대한 현실과 연구사이에 큰 괴리(missing gap)가 존재함을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구는 어머니의 인구 사회학적 특성에 따른 식습관, 요리습관 및 운동습관을 분석하고, 어머니들의 건강과 관련된 생활습관 및 체질량지수가 그들의 학령기 후기 자녀의 체질량지수와 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지를 조사하는 것에 목적을 두고 시행되었다. 본 연구 결과에서 Pearson's correlation 분석을 통한 어머니의 체질량지수와 자녀의 체질량지수는 서로 유의한 상관관계를 보였는데(r=0.345, P<0.001), 이는 어머니의 저체중 정도가 클수록 자녀의 저체중 정도 또한 크다는 것을 의미하는 것으로 학령기 아동들의 체중과 관련하여 일반적으로 가장 친밀하게 관계를 맺는 어머니로부터 강하게 영향을 받는다는 선행연구들의 결과를 재조명해 주었다. 또한, 본 연구 결과를 통해 Broca 지수가 90% 미만인 저체중인 어머니가 82.4%로 다수를 차지하는 것과 연관하여 중년 어머니가 저체중 상태에서 적정수준의 운동을 하지 않음으로 인한 전반적인 체력 저하가 있을 수 있음이 의심되었다. 따라서 어머니의 운동 부족과 건강하지 못한 운동습관이 자녀의 운동에 대한 동기부여와 건강상태에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 향후에 이루어져야 함을 제안한다. 주목할 만한 또 다른 연구 결과는 어머니의 체질량지수에 따른 어머니의 식습관, 요리습관은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다는 것이다. 이는 대다수의 참여자가 저체중인 그룹에 속하는 체질량지수를 가지고 있다고 하더라도 저체중 그룹 내 어머니의 식습관과 요리습관이 좋을수록 체질량지수가 정상에 가까운 것으로 해석될 수 있다. 이 결과는 좋은 식습관과 요리습관이 건강상태와 긍정적 상관관계가 있다는 기존의 선행연구 결과들을 지지함과 동시에 비만뿐만 아니라 저체중 그룹 내에서도 적절한 식습관과 요리 습관이 체질량의 적절한 증가와도 상관관계가 있음을 보여준다. 마지막으로 본 연구 결과에서 자녀의 Broca 체질량지수 분류별 어머니의 Broca 체질량지수의 차이는 유의한 것으로 나타났다(F=7.158, P<0.001). 요리습관만을 사후분석 하였을 때 저체중군이 정상군보다 요리습관의 평균점수가 높아 자녀가 저체중군인 어머니들이 자녀가 정상군에 속한 어머니들보다 더 건강한 식습관을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 학령기 아동은 물론 청소년을 대상으로 자녀의 저체중과 어머니의 요리습관과의 상관관계를 살펴본 선행연구를 거의 찾을 수 없는 실정을 고려할 때 이 두 요인과의 상호 연관성을 제시하였다는 점에서 본 연구의 가치를 찾을 수 있다. 따라서 저체중 그룹 학령기 아동의 건강증진 및 건강문제 예방을 위해 어머니들의 건강한 요리습관 형성을 목적으로 하는 교육 프로그램이 효과적인 중재방법이며 이를 개발하여 그 효과를 증명하는 향후 연구를 제안하는 바이다. 본 연구의 결과들은 학령기 후기 아동의 체질량지수와 학령기 아동의 어머니를 대상으로 하는 식습관, 요리습관 및 운동습관의 다각적 측면을 고려한 맞춤형 건강 교육 프로그램을 개발할 수 있는 기반을 마련함에 동시에, 어머니의 생활습관 변화가 학령기 후기 아동의 저체중 및 과체중에 미치는 긍정적인 효과를 연구하는 중요한 기초자료를 제공함에 그 중요한 의의가 있다고 하겠다.

Purpose: This mixed-methods study was conducted to compare and analyze the perceptions of children and their parents regarding the meaning of the children's life. Methods: First, children's and parents' perceptions of the meaning of life were analyzed using a quantitative approach, and the cognitive differences between children and parents were then confirmed through a qualitative approach. We integrated the collected data comprehensively. Results: Ten significant differences (awareness of strong points, recognizing oneself as a precious being, relationships with friends, happy memories, liking people, experiencing difficulty, dreams and goals, experiencing love, appreciating life, helping people who are poorer than me) were identified between children and parents. The results of the content analysis of the qualitative data were divided into two variables: children's experiences of the meaning of life (78 significant statements, 32 sub-themes, and 10 themes) and parents' perceptions of the meaning of life of their children (89 significant statements, 36 sub-themes, and 10 themes). Conclusion: Based on these results, we propose developing meaning-centered intervention programs for children and parents and applying them for educational purposes. By doing so, we expect that meaning-centered education for elementary school students will become more active.

This study examined the effects of maternal grandmothers' positive parenting behavior, mothers' emotion regulation, and positive parenting behavior on children's emotion regulation. A total of 348 mothers of fourth and fifth graders responded to questionnaires, which included items related to their mothers' positive parenting behavior, their own emotion regulation and positive parenting behavior, and their children's emotion regulation. The data were analyzed by means of correlations and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). First, maternal grandmothers' positive parenting behavior significantly affected mothers' emotion regulation, but mothers' emotion regulation did not directly affect their children's emotion regulation. Second, maternal grandmothers' positive parenting behavior had an effect on mothers' positive parenting behavior, which led to a high level of their children's emotion regulation. Lastly, maternal grandmothers' positive parenting behavior indirectly influenced children's emotion regulation through mothers' emotion regulation and positive parenting behavior. This study emphasizes the intergenerational transmission of positive parenting, as well as a crucial influence of mothers' positive parenting behavior on children's emotion regulation.
