This study examined the effects of mothers' rejective parenting, emotional expressivity, children's emotional regulation strategy on their social withdrawal. Participants were 223 children(121 boys, 102 girls; recruited from classes with 4-5 year olds), their mothers and 20 child care teachers. The teachers completed rating scales to measure the children's social withdrawal and emotional regulation strategies. Mothers reported their rejective parenting along with emotional expressivity. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's productive correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results showed that mothers' rejective parenting, children's venting/support seeking strategy and avoidance/non-responsive strategy had positive relation to, whereas mother's positive expressivity were negatively related to their social withdrawal. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the interaction of mother's rejective parenting and positive expressivity predicted children's social withdrawal. Mother's rejective parenting was associated with children's social withdrawal, especially for children with the lowest level of mother's positive expressivity. In addition, the association between mother's rejective parenting and children's social withdrawal were partially mediated by their venting/support seeking strategy.

유아론에 대한 비트겐슈타인의 철학적 투쟁을 조명하는 것은 그의 전체 철학의 핵심을 조명하는 것에 상당한다. 요컨대 유아론의 문제는 언어놀이, 놀이와 언어의 유사성, 가족 유사성, 규칙 따르기, 규칙 따르기의 역설, 사적 언어 논변, 뜻함, 봄과 -로서 봄, 모순, 논리적 필연성, 함 또는 실천과 같은 후기 비트겐슈타인의 핵심 개념이나 주제와 얽혀 있다. 이를 보이기 위해서 이 글에서는 유아론의 개념, 유아론에 대한 청년 비트겐슈타인의 생각, 후기 비트겐슈타인의 진단을 논의하게 될 것이다. 이러한 과정에서 우리는 비트겐슈타인이 유아론(넓게는 데카르트주의, 영국경험론, 현상학)에서 실천으로 나아가는 패러다임의 전환을 수행하고 있다는 것을 확인하게 될 것이다. 이러한 논의가 진행되면 우리는 유아론에 대한 후기 비트겐슈타인의 비판과 '사적 언어'가 어떻게 연결되는지 자연스럽게 문제 삼게 된다. 많은 학자들이 주장하는 바에 따르면, 비트겐슈타인은 사적 언어가 불가능하다고 간주했다. 그러나 나는 이러한 주장은 비트겐슈타인이 처한 패러다임의 전환 상황을 간과하는 처사로서 설득력 없는 것임을 보이고자 한다.
