The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of parent's neglectful behavior on children's irrational beliefs and their style of expressing anger. The subjects consisted of 354 5th and 6th grade elementary school children. The instruments used were the Multidimensional Neglectful Behavior Scale (Straus et al., 1995), the Irrational Belief Scales (Lee, 2004), and the Anger Expression Scale (Spielberger, Krasner, & Solomon, 1988). Data were analyzed by means of both descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 18.0. The result of this study indicated that there were significant correlations between parent's neglectful behavior and the irrational beliefs and style of anger expression exhibited by the children concerned. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that, the effects of children's irrational beliefs on their anger was moderated by parent's neglectful behavior. The effects of children's irrational beliefs on their anger control was also moderated by parent's neglectful behavior. In conclusion, parent's neglectful behavior has a moderating effect upon a child's irrational beliefs as it relates to the style of anger expression as exhibited by their children.

This study examined the effect of parents' neglect behavior and children's irrational beliefs on children's anger expression style. The participants were 379 5th and 6th grade elementary school children. The major findings were as follows. Children tended to perceive higher levels of their parents' cognitive and emotional neglect than physical and home environmental neglect. Boys perceived higher levels of their parents' physical, supervisory and home environmental neglect than girls, and girls showed higher level of excessively self-expecting belief than boys. There were statistically significant correlations between the parents' neglect behavior, their child's irrational beliefs and anger expression style. A regression analysis showed that parents' physical and cognitive neglect were predictors of children's anger control. Children's excessive apprehension and avoidance beliefs were the best predictors of children's anger-in, while children's deterministic belief was the best predictor of children's anger-out. Parents' physical neglect behavior appeared to be powerful predictor.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program to prevent recurrence, focusing on cognitive and behavioral factors to reduce gambling game behavior in children, and to verify the effectiveness to analyze basic data necessary for prevention education. Eight children in the 4th to 6th grades of male students were selected, an experiment and control group were formed, and the effectiveness was verified only after 3 months after the experimental group was conducted once a week. First, irrational gambling beliefs, the level of gambling problems, automatic thinking for children, and the level of gambling problems were reduced through cognitive behavior therapy programs to reduce gambling game behavior in children. Changes in maladaptive thinking that directly affect gambling game behavior instilled awareness of gambling game behavior. Second, self-control and impulsiveness, the behavioral variables, did not show any significant difference, but decreased in the overall average. Changes in cognitive variables influenced behavioral variables. Third, it was found to continue even 3 months after the end of the program. Changes in cognitive and behavioral variables later reduced children's gambling game behavior and helped school life and peer relationships through adaptive thinking.
