This study examined how preschool children's age and mothers' modes of verbal control affect children's lying. A sample of 108 preschool children aged from 3 to 6 participated in a lying experiment. Their mothers answered questionnaires regarding the mothers' modes of verbal control. Preschool children's lying was measured by the Guessing Game Experiment developed by Talwar and Lee(2002). Mothers' modes of verbal control were measured by Jung's(2005) scale for preschool children. To analyze the data, crosstabs and logistic regression analyses were conducted. The results of the experiment showed that three-year-old children are able to lie intentionally. The older preschool children lied more than the younger ones. Mothers' imperative and personal modes of verbal control were positively related to preschool children's lying. The most significant variable on preschool children's lying was mother's imperative modes of verbal control, followed by personal modes of verbal control, which emphasizes the crucial influence of parenting on preschool children's lying.

The modified version of Kim's (2000) Preschool Behavior Questionnaire (PBQ), created by Behar and Stringfield (1974) was used to measure the acceptability of children's behaviors. The regression and correlation analysis was performed through the use of SPSS 12, and the findings are as follows. First, there exists a meaningful correlation between the children's playfulness, the degree of preschool adjustment, and the acceptability of behavior problems.

본 연구의 목적은 구조방정식모델을 이용하여 유아 기질과 애착이 어떠한 경로로 유아 놀이성에 영향을 주는가를 살펴보고자 하는 것이었다. 이를 위해 U시에 소재한 유치원에 재원중인 만 5세 유아 275명을 연구대상으로 유아 놀이성(CPS), 기질(DOST-R) 및 애착(IPPA)을 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS와 AMOS 프로그램을 통하여 기술통계, Pearson 상관계수 및 구조모형분석을 실시하였다. 모형의 적합도는 ${\chi}^2$, RMSEA, NNFI, CFI 및 SRMR로 평가되었다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 유아 기질과 유아 놀이성 간에 정적상관관계가 나타났으며 유아 애착과 유아 놀이성간에도 정적상관관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 유아 애착은 유아 놀이성에 직접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났고 유아 기질은 유아 애착을 거쳐 유아 놀이성에 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
