The subjects were 180 preschoolers who were 5 years old and their mothers live in Gwang-ju and Jeon-Nam province. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise regression analysis using the program of SPSS. The findings of the study were as follows. (1) there was a difference between the average score of subcategory and the total score of leadership according to the gender of preschooler and mother's employment and her educational background. However, there was no difference from the birth order of preschooler. (2) A correlation was not found between mother's discipline style and preschooler's leadership, but the significant negative correlation showed up between preschooler's emotional regulation strategies and preschooler's leadership. (3) The leadership of preschoolers who use positive coping strategies of a sub-area of emotional regulation strategies appeared strong. And the leadership appeared low with a boy who uses avoidant & supportive strategies, supportive strategies, aggressive strategies and venting strategies more often. Furthermore, the model of explanatory adequacy (R2) of some independent variables from the average scores of subcategory and the total score of leadership was confirmed to be the statistically significant explanatory model.

본 연구의 목적은 2011년 3월 한국 학교에서의 체벌이 법적으로 금지된 이후 훈육방법과 교실경영의 변화 방향을 탐색하는 것이다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 첫째, 한국과 해외 국가의 체벌에 대한 경향을 살펴보았다. 체벌은 한국 사회, 가정, 그리고 교육기관에서 오랜 역사를 가진 전통적인 훈육 방식으로 특히 군사부일체, 스승의 그림자는 밟지 않는다, 사랑의 매 등과 같이 스승의 권위를 근거로 행하여져 왔다. 2012년 현재 세계 국가들 중에서 59%가 체벌을 금지하고 있으며, 특히 OECD 34개국 중에서는 29개국이 체벌 금지, 한국을 포함한 4개국이 부분적 금지 등으로 대부분의 국가들이 체벌을 금지하고 있다. 둘째, 한국과 해외 국가의 교실경영 방법을 비교해 보았다. 한국에서는 문제행동의 지도방법이 벌점부여 등과 같이 단순하고 소극적이며, 교육적 효과에 대한 검증 부족, 문제행동 지도방법에 대한 사회적 합의부족 등과 같은 한계가 있었다. 해외 국가에서는 문제행동의 체계적 유형화, 문제행동의 원인 연구, 문제행동 지도방법 체계화 및 위계화, 문제행동의 예방과 지도방법의 효과 연구 등이 활발하였다. 따라서 체벌 금지 이후 한국 교실경영에 대한 시사점으로, 문제행동 지도방법에 대한 심도있는 논의, 문제행동 예방 및 지도방법에 대한 효과 연구, 교원양성 및 현직 교육에 문제행동 지도방법 교육, 학생 문제행동 지도에 대한 사회적 합의 등을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of socio-demographic variables, family emotional environment and maternal discipline style on school children's emotional regulation. Subjects of this study consisted 953 elementary school students drawn from 4 elementary schools in Cheong-ju city and Cheongwon-gun. Data were analyzed by the methods frequency, percentage, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, factor analysis, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression using SPSSWIN 12.0 program. The results of this study were as follows: First, girls used greater problem-focused coping than boys did. Children in sixth grade used more problem-focused coping regulation compared to those in fourth grade. When children perceived higher level of family communication, emotional support, participation of family rituals, family worries, and parental conflict, they were more likely to use problem-focused coping. Additionally, both maternal supportive discipline and behavioral controlling discipline styles increased children's problem-focused coping. Second, girls presented greater emotional venting than boys did. Children in sixth grade expressed higher level of emotional venting compared to those in fourth grade. While family communication, family worries, and parental conflict increased children's emotional venting, family emotional support and participation of family rituals decreased it. Only mothers' psychological controlling discipline positively predicted children's emotional venting. Third, girls presented higher level of children's aggressive expression than boys did. The lower level of family support increased children's aggressive expression. Higher level of family worries and parental conflict increased it as well. Also, children's aggressive expression was positively predicted by mothers' psychological controlling discipline. Fourth, girls presented greater avoidance than boys did. Children in sixth grade expressed higher level of emotional avoidance compared to those in fourth grade. In family emotional environment, while family support lowered children's emotional avoidance, family worries and parental conflict increased it. Moreover, mothers' psychological and behavioral controlling discipline styles positively explained children's emotional avoidance. In conclusion, family emotional environment was the strongest factor to predict school children's emotional regulation among other variables.

The study examined the moderating role of fearfulness on the relation between parental discipline styles and preschoolers' conscience. It also investigated the relationship between parental discipline styles and conscience and the relationship between a child's fearfulness and conscience. A sample of 250 parents of children aged between three and six (126 boys and 124 girls) completed the questionnaires on parental discipline style, preschoolers' conscience, and their fearfulness. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical regression analysis. Results showed that young children displayed greater actions of reparation and apology when mothers did not neglect and practiced reasoning. The more coercive punishment mothers practiced, the less internalized conduct children showed. In addition, the neglecting discipline style of fathers and the reasoning style of mothers had a significant negative and positive influence, respectively, on children's guilt. The results also showed that fearfulness of children had significant positive effects on their actions of reparation and apology and guilt. Finally, fearfulness moderated influences of mothers' coercive punishment on actions of reparation and apology and fathers' reasoning on internalized conducts. Only fearful children showed not only more actions of reparation and apology when fathers had coercive discipline style but also more internalized behavior when mothers had reasoning discipline style. These results emphasize mutual influences between parental roles and children's personal traits on conscience development in early childhood.
