The objectives of this study were to assess food behavior and nutritional status of preschool children by using the Nutrition Quotient (NQ) for children and children's growth index. The subjects for this study were 424, 5-year old children, who enrolled in child-care centers (n = 219) and kindergartens (n = 205) in Nowon-gu, Seoul. The NQ was examined by NQ questionnaire which consisted of 19 food behavior checklist items. Their items were grouped into 5 categories: balance, diversity, moderation, regularity, and practice. Children's anthropometric measurements were performed by using InBody J05. All data were statistically analyzed by SAS 9.3 and significant difference was evaluated by Student's t-test and ${\chi}^2$-test. The rates of overweight and obesity for subjects were 11.1% and 3.3%, respectively. Total NQ score of the subjects was 65.1, which was within medium grade. The NQ score of kindergartens (66.1) was higher than that of child-care center (64.2), showing significant difference by institution type. In addition, the NQ score of obesity was significantly lower than that of normal weight subjects. The scores of balance (p < 0.05) and regularity factor (p < 0.001) were higher in kindergarten compared to child-care center. Particularly, the frequency of consumption of white milk and Ramyeon was higher (p < 0.001) and lower (p < 0.05) respectively in kindergarten compared to child-care center. Frequencies of meal regularity (P < 0.01) and breakfast eating (p < 0.001) were also higher in kindergarten compared to child-care center. These results indicate that kindergarten's children had better eating habits than those of child-care center. Overall analysis of items for food behavior checklists implies that children in Nowon-gu are short of vegetables consumption. Therefore, children and their parents need proper nutrition education and counseling to correct their eating habits and to improve their nutritional status.

본 연구는 가정학대 경험과 학교폭력 가해 및 피해 경험 간의 인과관계를 규명하고 이들의 관계에서 공격성과 우울의 매개효과를 검증하는 것에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 한국청소년정책연구원이 공개한 한국아동·청소년패널조사의 중학생 자료를 사용하여 구조모형 분석을 실시하였으며, 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가정학대경험이 많을수록 이후 학교폭력 가해 혹은 피해의 경험이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가정학대는 공격성을 매개로 학교폭력 가해에 정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 우울을 매개로 학교폭력피해에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 가정학대를 경험한 적이 있는 학교폭력 가해자는 학교폭력 가해경험을 매개로 다시 학교폭력 피해자가 될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 가정학대를 경험한 적이 있는 학교폭력 피해자의 경우에는 학교폭력 가해경험을 하게 되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 학교폭력 가해와 피해는 상호인과적인 관계임에도 불구하고 가정학대경험이 선행할 경우 학교폭력 피해자가 다시 가해자가 될 가능성은 매우 낮음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 가정학대가 공격성과 우울을 매개로 학교폭력 가해 혹은 피해로 이어지는 경로에 대한 통합적인 이해를 가능하게 하며, 가정학대가 학교폭력 가해-피해 중복경험에 미치는 영향 및 경로를 규명하였음에 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 육아정책연구소에서 제공하는 한국아동패널 6차년도(2013)데이터를 사용하여 유아기 자녀를 둔 1614명의 어머니를 대상으로 취업여부에 따른 양육태도, 모-자녀상호작용, 유아의 또래놀이 상호작용 및 문제행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 취업여부에 관계없이 어머니의 온정적 양육태도가 높을수록, 유아의 또래놀이 상호작용이 높을수록 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동이 모두 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 취업모의 경우 모-자녀상호작용이 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 비취업모의 경우에는 유의미한 영향을 미쳐 자녀와 상호작용이 많을수록 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동이 증가하는 것으로 나타나 취업모와 비취업모의 차이가 있었다. 이러한 연구결과에 기초하여 유아의 다양한 문제행동을 예방하는 부모교육 프로그램이나 아동 가족 상담현장에 실제적으로 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공했다는 데 본 연구의 의의가 있다.

Objectives : This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an internet-based anger management program for school-aged children. Methods : Forty-eight elementary school students took part in an anger management training program; subsequently, participants, their parents, and their teachers answered questionnaires assessing the participants' anger, aggressiveness, and other emotional/behavioral problems, pre- and post-training. Results : At the post-training self-assessment, the participants showed significant reductions in their "anger-out" tendencies and physical aggressiveness. In addition, the effects of the program on "anger-out" tendencies, aggressiveness, anger and peer relational problem were found to be more significant in participants who reported depressive symptoms. Teachers rated the participants' peer-relational problems as having decreased after the training. Conclusion : The proposed internet-based anger management program had a significant effect on the school-aged children's abilities to control their anger.
