The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the value of children according to the demographic characteristics of mothers with young children. This was to examine the relationship between psychological and environmental factors, and the value of children to mothers with young children. The participants of this study were 237 mothers, who had young children. Descriptive statistics, t-test, F-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. The results were as follows: First, the value of children was different according to the child's factors (gender and number of children in the family, etc.), the mother's factors (age and education, etc), and the family's factors (household income and cost of bringing up the child). Second, familism is related to emotional value and instrumental value, parenting efficacy is related to emotional value and social value, children's temperament is related to emotional value, and the value of children from mother's reference group is related to emotional value and instrumental value, social value, and burdensome value. As for the implication of these findings, value of children from mother's reference groups is important for changing the value of children of the mothers with young children.

In this study, 150 previous studies of young children's challenging behavior, conducted over the past 10 years, from 2003 to 2012, were selected. These studies were in relation to young children both with and without disabilities, and they were thus used for the purposes of comparative analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, research on challenging behavior not only of young children with disabilities but also of those without disabilities has been an increasing trend from 2008. While most studies of those without disabilities were based on observations by parents or teachers using a variety of tools, studies regarding those with disabilities mainly used single-subject research methods using an operational definition. Second, the bulk of the studies of young children without disabilities were focused on interaction between various children's internal variables and a variety of parent-related variables related to the occurrence of challenging behavior. In comparison, studies of young children with disabilities were focused excessively on direct intervention after the occurrence of problems. Regarding those without disabilities, the interaction between children's temperament, internal variables, and their mothers' parenting behavior, external variables were the main areas of interest for these researchers. There is clearly a growing need for more active research aimed at the prevention of challenging behavior. Challenging behavior in early childhood has an influence not only on each child's present and future academic achievement levels and their quality of life but also on the quality of instruction in classroom available to all children.

본 연구는 한국아동패널의 5차년도 자료를 활용하여 만 4세 유아의 스마트폰 이용 실태, 이용 정도 집단간 발달특성과 생활시간의 차이, 이용 정도 집단을 예측하는 유아 개인 요인과 가족환경 요인을 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 스마트폰 최초 이용 연령이 표기된 435명과 그 중에서 3세 이하부터 스마트폰을 이용하기 시작한 유아 157명을 대상으로 수집된 자료를 빈도분석, t-검증, 로지스틱 회귀분석 처리하였다. 연구결과, 다수 유아의 스마트폰 최초 이용 시기는 만 4세, 이용 정도는 '대체로 이용'하는 수준으로 나타났다. 스마트폰 저이용 집단과 고이용 집단을 비교했을 때 여아에서는 위축과 수면문제가, 전체 유아에서는 외현화 문제행동 전체, 수면문제, DSM 방식의 전반적 발달문제가 각각 낮았다. 남아와 전체 유아의 저이용 집단은 수면시간이 길었다. 이용 정도의 예측 변인은 활동성과 사회성 기질로 나타났다. 이로써 유아기 초부터, 유아의 기질을 우선 고려하여 스마트폰 과다 사용 예방교육이 필요함을 시사해 주었다.

본 연구는 또래상호작용에 대한 성별과 연령에 따른 차이와 유아의 기질, 정서조절능력, 어머니의 정서표현성 및 교사-유아 관계와의 관계와 이들 변인의 상대적 영향력을 알아보고자 했다. 본 연구는 만 4, 5세 유아 217명과 그들의 어머니를 대상으로 하였으며 유아의 기질, 정서조절능력, 어머니의 정서표현성, 교사-유아 관계가 설문도구로 사용되었다. 연구방법은 t검증, 상관분석, 회귀분석을 통해 알아보았다. 연구결과는 첫째, 유아의 긍정적 또래 상호작용은 남아가 여아보다 높게 나타났고, 부정적 또래상호작용은 남아가 여아보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 유아의 긍정적 또래상호작용은 만 5세가 만 4세보다 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 유아의 사회성이 높고 수줍음이 낮을 수록 긍정적 또래상호작용이 높고, 활동성과 수줍음이 높을수록 유아의 부정적 또래상호작용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 유아의 정서조절능력이 높을 수록 긍정적 또래상호작용이 높고 정서조절능력이 낮을 수록 부정적 또래상호작용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 어머니의 정서표현성이 높을 수록 긍정적 또래상호작용이 높고 정서표현성이 낮을 수록 부정적 또래상호작용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 교사와 유아간의 친밀감이 높고 갈등이 낮을 수록 긍정적 또래상호작용이 높고 친밀감이 낮고 갈등이 높을 수록 부정적 또래상호작용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 또래상호작용에 대한 상대적 영향력을 살펴본 결과, 유아의 정서조절능력이 가장 큰 변인으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate child - care effects on young child's aggression in ecological context. For this, main effects, interaction effects and cumulative effects between child care experiences(quantity, quality, age of entry and stability) and maternal behavior as well as characteristics of child(sex, age and temperament) were examined. A total of 62 young children(34 boys and 28 girls) enrolled in child - care center were observed, and mothers and caregivers completed questionnaires. Data was analysed by three - way ANOVA, logistic regression and crosstabs. As result, first, main effects of quantity, rejective and regulative mothering on children's aggression were found. Second, there were significant interaction effects between both quality and quantity of day-care and rejective mothering. In particular, the interaction effects provided evidence that high - quality child - care served a compensatory function for extensive care and rejective mothering. Third, logistic regression analysis revealed risk factors for child's aggression and the effects of these risk factors were cumulative. Interaction effects of day-care quality and cumulative effects of day-care, characteristics of child and maternal behavior on child aggression were discussed.

This was done in an attempt to understand the conception of effortful control clearly and lay the foundations for future studies. An analysis was performed on frequencies by years, methodology, and content. Results showed that (1) 95 research articles on effortful control were published between January of 1999 and June of 2010. (2) Most research participants were school-aged children. (3) There were a number of ways that researchers have assessed the concept of effortful control, and the most frequently used measurement scale was the Rothbart's questionnaire for temperament. (4) The main content of the research was the relationships between effortful control and developmental domains (particularly, emotional and social development). More recently, researches examining environmental factors including family and peer environment have increased.

The subjects of the study were 227 fathers whose children were preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 5 attending daycare centers in Keoungbok province, South Korea. Statistical analysis was conducted with the following techniques: two-way ANOVA, interaction effect, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation partial correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression (using SPSS 12.0). Results of the study may be summarized as follows. (1) There was a significant difference in fathers' child-rearing involvement according to the fathers' education level, income, and preschoolers' temperaments. (2) There was a significant interaction effect of mothers' employment and preschoolers' temperaments on fathers' child-rearing involvement. (3) Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that fathers' education mediated the relationship between income and fathers' involvement in child-rearing, and fathers' education and preschoolers' temperaments was also found to have predictive power over fathers' child-rearing involvement.
