본 연구는 초등학교 고학년 어린이에서 어린이 NQ와 어린이와 어머니 식생활지침 실천도가 어떤지, 이들 간에 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지 또한 어린이와 어머니의 어떤 특성이 이들에 영향을 끼치는지 알아보고자 광주광역시 소재 초등학교 4~6학년 어린이 281명을 대상으로 실시되었으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 조사대상 어린이의 NQ는 $66.8{\pm}14.2$로 보통 (3등급)에 해당하였고, 절제와 다양요인 점수는 우수 (2등급)이었으나 규칙, 실천 및 균형요인 점수는 보통 (3등급)이었다. 어린이 NQ는 학년별, 성별 및 체중군별로 다르지 않았다. 그러나 몇몇 요인의 점수는 다소 차이를 보였는바, 학년별로 절제와 규칙요인의 점수가 달랐으나 일관성은 없었으며, 여자 어린이가 남자 어린이에 비해 규칙요인 점수가 높았고, 과체중군이 기타 체중군에 비해 절제요인 점수가 높았다. 한편 어머니의 일반사항에 따라 어린이 NQ는 상당한 차이를 나타냈는데, 비취업 상태인 경우 취업상태에 비해 어린이 NQ와 균형요인 점수가 높았고, 연령이 40대 이상이면 40대 미만에 비해 다양요인 점수가 높았으며, 학력이 대졸 이상이면 고등학교 졸 이하에 비해 규칙요인 점수가 높았고, 이외에 가정의 월수입이 400만 원 미만이면 400만원 이상에 비해 절제요인 점수가 높았다. 어린이의 식생활지침 실천도는 $78.8{\pm}10.5$로 양호인 편이었으며, 어머니가 비취업상태인 경우 취업상태인 경우보다 높았다. 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도는 $80.6{\pm}9.4$로 양호했으며, 비취업상태의 어머니가 취업상태인 경우보다 또한 연령이 40대 이상인 어머니가 40대 미만인 경우보다 높았다. 어린이 NQ는 어린이 자신의 식생활지침 실천도와는 물론 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도와도 유의적인 양의 상관성을 보였으며, 어린이와 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도 간에도 유의한 양의 관련성이 있었다. 이러한 본 연구결과는 초등학교 고학년 어린이의 식생활이 어머니의 영향을 크게 받는다는 점을 시사한다. 따라서 어린이의 식생활을 개선하기 위해서는 어린이를 대상으로 한 영양교육은 물론 어머니를 대상으로 한 식생활 교육도 필요하다는 점을 알려준다. 구체적으로 어린이에게는 콩이나 콩 제품의 영양적 우수성, 가공식품을 살 때 영양성분 등 식품표시 확인, 우유 섭취의 필요성, 짠 음식, 단 음식, 기름진 음식의 섭취 제한, 표준체중 알기 및 TV 시청과 컴퓨터 게임 시간 제한하기 등에 관한 내용을 강조해야 할 필요성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 어머니의 경우는 특히 취업상태이거나, 비교적 젊거나, 학력이 낮거나, 가족의 월수입이 높은 가정의 어머니에 초점을 맞추어 다양한 채소 섭취하기, 간식으로 유제품 섭취하기, 신체 활동량 늘리기와 함께 어린이가 나타낸 문제점에 관한 내용을 다룰 필요성이 있음을 알려주었다. 본 연구에서 어머니의 취업 여부와 연령, 학력 및 가정의 월수입에 따라 어린이 NQ는 물론 식생활지침 실천도가 유의적인 차이를 보이는 점이 확인되었으나, 조사대상자의 수가 많지 않았고, 광주광역시 소재 1개교에 국한되었으며 또한 고학년만을 대상으로 삼았다는 제한점이 있으므로, 앞으로 보다 큰 규모의 체계적인 연구를 통해 이러한 요인들이 어린이 NQ 및 어린이와 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 규명할 필요성이 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구결과가 어린이와 어머니에게 어떠한 내용의 영양교육이 필요한지를 알리고, 어린이들이 올바른 식습관을 실천하고 또한 어머니들이 자신과 자녀의 식생활을 바람직하게 관리하도록 지도하고 교육하는데 있어 기초자료로 활용됨으로써 어린이 NQ를 높이는데 기여할 수 있기를 바란다.

The main purpose of these studies was the improvemen of nutritional supply and of the future physical coditions. The two groups which were regional difference were chosen and research for the nutritional status of elementary school students. The nutritional status of lunch-box between one elementary School of 98 students in the 6th year grade(hence-forward it was called "A-Group"), located at the center of Masan City, being provided the milk and the other elementary School of 134 students in the 6th year grade(hence-forward it was called "B-Group"), located in the small farm and fishing villages of Kusan-myun, Euichang-kun, Kyungnam province, were seweyed from the period of Nov. 20, 1986 to Dec. 4, 1986 and conclusion were as follows: 1. Nutritional status of lunch-box 1) It is indicated that in the case of A-Group, the nutirtional intake except animal protein and vitamin A were lower than the Recommended Daily Allowances of Korenas and in the case B-Group, was also lower than except vitamin A respectively and especially in both groups, the percentage of Fe was lowest and intended difference between A Group and B was that B-Group in the intake of calorie, fat, Ca, Fe and etc were lower than A-Group. 2) The total calorie-intake was short of the extent to approx. 83.8% as compared to the RDA. On the viewpoint at ratio of intake of caloric nutrients, A-Group appeared to be 69.5 : 16.5 : 14 and B-Group, 77.5 : 19.5 : 13 in order carbohydrate, protein and fat. As a result of the above ratio, B-Group depended upon carbohydrate as a staple food more than A-Group. It can be considered that the total calorie-intake is short, and that the amount of lunch-box was greatly insufficient for taking optimal nutrition. 3) Calorie, carbohydrate, vitamin B, and niacin were taken nutrition from a staple food and protein from at similar ratio of staple and subsidiary food and fat, Fe, vitamin A, vitamin B1, adn vitamin C were mainly taken from a staple food. It was indicated that B-Group was higher at the supply-ratio by a staple food than A-Group. 3. The realities of improvement of physical conditions The improvement of physical conditions of the two groups were lower in accordance with Korea Children's Growth Standard, but B-Group was inferior to A-Group. 4. Seeing that the total intake of nutrition being taken at lunch time was lower as campared to the RDA intakes between the two Groups were remakably different, a lot of efforts should be made to improve the calorie-intake for the purpose of the farm and fishing villages. For balanced intake of nutrition, selection of foods and various cooking ways are important, therefore, throughout the expansion of the lowest stratum of elementary schools for milk-supply, high-quality protein, fat, Ca, vitamin B2 and etc should be supplied to the growing students. That can narrow the gaps of the intake of nutrition and physical condition between the students who live in cities and the students who live in the country.

The relations of parental differential treatment perceived by children to their self-esteem were examined. The subjects were 299 fifth-and sixth-grade elementary school children (162 boys and 137 girls) in Seoul. The data were collected using two kinds of questionnaires on maternal and paternal differential treatment and a child’s self-esteem. The major findings are as follows: Firstborns received more differential maternal affection than secondborns, and both boys and firstborns received more differential maternal control than girls and secondborns. Differential paternal control varied as a function of a child’s sex and birth order, in which boys and firstborns received more differential paternal control than girls and secondborns, but differential paternal affection did not vary. Maternal differential treatments were related to self-esteem only in girls, indicating that the more differential maternal affection they perceived, the higher self-esteem they had, and the more differential maternal control they perceived, the lower self-esteem they had. Paternal differential treatments were not related to self-esteem both for boys and girls. The study emphasizes the crucial role of mothers on their daughters.

The purpose of this study is to determine the stress and the dietary habits of elementary school children and assess the associations with mother's employment status. The subjects were 423 students of 5th and 6th grade students (210 boys and 213 girls) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do. Two hundred fifty-two mothers had some kinds of job and 171 mothers were housewives. The students had stress the most from their studies/schoolwork (M = 2.37), while the least from "teacher/school" (M=1.51). The average stress score of the subjects was 1.76. The average score of dietary habits was 3.43. More specifically, the statement "not skipping breakfast" had the highest score (M = 4.04) and the statement "not substituting cereals, breads or drink milk for any meal" had the lowest score. Students with employed mothers had higher stress level than students with unemployed mothers. Students with employed mothers who have blue color job showed the lower dietary habits score than those with employed mothers who had other types of job. Students of employed mothers who go to school at dawn showed the lowest dietary habits score. In both employed and unemployed mothers, the stress score of students negatively correlated with the score of dietary habits. It was important for the mother to be at home when the students go to school and return. Based on this study, mothers should be aware of the stress level of their children get depending on their employment status. They should also provide their children to have good dietary habits and nutritional education regularly.

This study investigated dietary behavior and nutrient intake in children with developmental disorders as compared with non-disabled children and assessed the relationship between dietary behavior and nutrient intake. The survey was conducted on 118 students ($4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ grade) of four special education schools and 244 students of an elementary school (control group). The survey was carried out using a questionnaire and an interview. Of the disabled children, children with a mental disorder comprised 72.9% and those with emotional disorders including autism comprised 26.3%. The average percentages of height and weight to standards for age were significantly lower in the disabled female children as compared with the non-disabled female children. Scores for table utensil handling skills, eating behavior, and an unbalanced diet were lower in the disabled children compared with those in the non-disabled children. Dietary behavior scores were not significantly different by either gender or age in the disabled children. Mean energy intake was less than the estimated energy requirement in both groups. Nutrients taken at less than the recommended intake level were calcium, iron, vitamin A, and folate in both groups. Food behavior score at mealtime, personal hygiene score at mealtime, and an unbalanced diet score were significantly correlated with iron and vitamin A intake in disabled male children. Personal hygiene score at mealtime was significantly correlated with calcium, iron, and vitamin A intake, and unbalanced diet score was significantly correlated with iron and vitamin A intake in disabled female children. Although the nutritional status of disabled children with developmental disorders was appropriate in general, improvement in their dietary behaviors through education and practice would allow them to eat balanced diets with essential nutrients.

This study was undertaken to verify various relations between dental health belief and related behaviors in mothers and children. Data for this study were obtained by 264 pairs of 1st and 3rd grade elementary school children and their mothers by self developed questionnaire, The questionnaires are made on the general socio-economical characteristics, the oral health knowledge and the behaviors relative to the oral health and oral health education as to how mothers implement the oral health related activities for their children, while for the children, the questionnaires have been measured relative to the oral health beliefs and health behaviors for the children. The obtained results have shown that mothers become with more ages, the usefulness to prevent children's oral diseases becomes lower, and as much as mothers have higher education level, the sensitivity relative to the oral diseases has been measured low. To the degree that the students live well in economical respect, it has been found that they placed more importance on the oral health. As much as the number of mothers tooth brushing becomes made more in a day, the tooth brushing of the children becomes more that much, and also has higher level of oral health beliefs. The number of children to see dentists has been found high, and to the extent of increasing frequency of visiting dental clinics. As the number of mothers tooth brushing education becomes made more frequent for the children. Also, as mothers put more restriction on the sugar intakes by the children, they placed higher importance on the oral health for their children. In conclusion oral health behavior in mothers' influence on dental health belief of their children, it has been reviewed necessary to activate more the mother-children joint oral health education and oral health projects that mothers and children take part together, as well as to study more in accurate and systematic approaches through more comprehensive and various subjects and elements further in the future.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between child's self-regulation and stress according to child's sex. The subjects for this study were 380 children of 5-6th grade selected from elementary schools in Busan. Lee, Soon-Kyu's questionnaires(1994) on child's self-regulation and Han, Mi-Hyun's questionnaires(1996) on child's stress were used. Statistical techniques such as Manova, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, canonical were used. The resets were as follows : (1) According to sex, there were significant differences in child's self-regulation and stress. The girls showed more self-regulation and higher friend-related stress than the boys. The boys showed higher parent-related stress than the girls. (2) Relationships between child's self-regulation and stress showed as follows : The boys who used more impulsive-control perceived lower friend-related stress, lower school-related stress, lower teacher-related stress, and lower surroundings-related stress. And the boys who used more behavioral-control perceived lower school-related stress, lower teacher-related stress, and lower surroundings-related stress. (3) The predicted variable for boy's friend-related stress was impulsive-control. The predicted variables for boy's school-related stress, teacher-related stress and surroundings-related stress were impulsive-control and behavioral-control. (4) Among three dimensions of self-regulation for boy, the effective variables were impulsive-control and behavioral-control. And among six dimensions of stress were surroundings-related stress, school-related stress and friend-related stress. Implications of this study were discussed in terms of child's self-regulation and stress.
